## Capabilities

- Lists Protect cameras and summarizes camera status.
- Reviews recent surveillance events and alerts.
- Checks Protect system health and storage usage.
- Tracks camera connectivity and network information.
- Supports coverage reviews for critical monitored areas.
- Produces surveillance status and audit summaries.

## Use Cases

- Daily Camera Health Review: Check camera status, connectivity, recording state, and storage before daily operations begin.
- Incident Event Review: Review recent motion, person, or alert events and summarize the timeline for investigation.
- Coverage Audit Planning: Compare camera coverage with critical areas and identify gaps for deployment planning.

## Prompt Templates

### Check Camera Status

```
Show all Protect cameras and summarize their status, connectivity, and recording state.
```

### Review Recent Events

```
Review recent surveillance events from today and group them by event type, camera, and time.
```

### Audit Storage And Health

```
Check Protect system health, storage usage, and camera connectivity. Highlight issues that need action.
```

### Prepare Coverage Report

```
Create a surveillance coverage report for critical areas. Include offline cameras, event gaps, and deployment recommendations.
```

## Limitations

- Requires access to configured Ubiquiti Protect tools.
- Does not replace physical inspection of camera placement.
- Cannot recover footage that the system did not retain.
- Results depend on current Protect system permissions and data.

## Best Practices

- Confirm you are authorized to access camera and event data.
- Run health checks on a regular schedule and document issues.
- Review retention settings before relying on older footage.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not use surveillance data for unauthorized monitoring.
- Do not ignore offline cameras during incident review.
- Do not assume motion alerts prove complete area coverage.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-06T09:15:06.5\+00:00
- Summary: All eight static findings are false positives caused by Markdown inline code around tool names and workflow steps. No prompt injection, command execution instruction, or data exfiltration intent was found in SKILL.md. The skill handles surveillance workflows, so users should ensure authorization and privacy controls before use.
