## Common questions

### Which camera firmware version should I use with UniFi Video on Debian?

Use camera firmware v4.23.8.67, not v4.30, because v4.30 is for UniFi Protect and won't work with UniFi Video for Debian.

### What MongoDB workaround is required for the Debian/Ubuntu UniFi Video install?

Replace /usr/bin/mongod with a script that strips the --nohttpinterface argument before calling /usr/bin/mongod.bin, then make the new mongod executable.

### What local HTTPS port is used for the UniFi Video controller?

Use port 7443 on localhost or the server hostname over HTTPS.

### How can I view UniFi Video from my phone outside the network?

One workaround is to VPN to the router and then connect directly with the UniFi Video app on your phone.
