Overview
This node interacts with the UniFi Protect API to manage and retrieve information about cameras. Specifically, the 'Get Many' operation under the 'Camera' resource allows users to fetch multiple camera records from the UniFi Protect system. This is useful for scenarios where a user needs to list all cameras, monitor their statuses, or gather data for further processing or automation.
Use Case Examples
- Fetching a list of all cameras connected to a UniFi Protect system to display their statuses in a dashboard.
- Retrieving camera details in bulk to automate security monitoring or integrate with other systems.

Output

camera- `` - An array of camera objects retrieved from the UniFi Protect API, each containing details about individual cameras.
Dependencies
- UniFi Protect API
Troubleshooting
- If the node fails to connect, check the API credentials and the controller URL in the credentials configuration.
- Timeout errors may occur if the server is slow to respond; consider increasing the timeout setting.
- SSL certificate errors can be bypassed by enabling the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option, but this reduces security.
- Proxy settings must be correctly configured if a proxy is required for network access.
