I'm surprised this is required. Agreed that's shady. I wonder what their reasoning is.

But if you don't trust it, the fix is easy: just deny the Ubiquiti cameras and controller all internet access. That way no trust is required.

But what if I want to access my cameras remotely but not have their manufacturer access them?
VPN. You can even use the Wireguard VPN that all Ubiquiti routers have built in
I am running nginx proxy on my public IP on top of ubiquiti UNVR it works via headscale. But honestly I am super happy with their hardware and software but necessity to link your network to their cloud just be able to use 100% of features of my own hardware, make me want to sell the whole thing and buy something else.
