Key Features
3.5 Gbps routing with IDS/IPS and Layer 7 firewall
Ubiquiti rates IDS/IPS throughput at 3.5 Gbps, with 55,000+ IDS/IPS signatures with CyberSecure. The gateway adds a stateful and application-aware Layer 7 firewall, DPI and traffic identification, zone-based filtering by region, domain and app, content filtering, ad blocking and VLAN/subnet traffic segmentation.
Full UniFi suite with a 3.5" NVR bay
Runs UniFi Network, Protect, Access, Talk and Connect on one console: 100+ UniFi devices, 1,000+ clients, up to 24 HD, 14 2K or 8 4K cameras and 150 access hubs. A 3.5" NVR HDD bay stores UniFi Protect recordings, with a quad-core 1.7 GHz processor, 4 GB memory and a 1.3" touchscreen.
10G uplinks, multi-WAN and failover
Two 10G SFP+ and nine GbE RJ45 ports, with one 10G SFP+ and one GbE RJ45 as the default WAN ports and up to 8 WAN ports in total. Multi-WAN load balancing, Shadow Mode (VRRP) gateway failover, LACP on GbE ports 1-8, license-free SD-WAN, site-to-site VPN and DC power backup using UniFi RPS.
Detailed Specifications
Specifications are from Ubiquiti's official technical specifications for the UniFi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro). Device, client and camera counts are Ubiquiti's guidance figures; real capacity depends on the traffic and applications in use.
Need-to-Know
- The 3.5" NVR HDD bay is for UniFi Protect recordings. Ubiquiti's specification does not list a hard drive as included, so plan to add one for camera recording.
- Ubiquiti recommends pairing the 10G SFP+ ports with an official SFP+ module or SFP+ to RJ45 adapter. No SFP+ module is listed as included.
- Power is universal AC input, 100–240V AC, through an internal 50W power supply. DC power backup needs a separate UniFi RPS on the USP-RPS DC input. Ubiquiti does not state the mains plug or power cord type.
- The 55,000+ IDS/IPS signature figure is Ubiquiti's figure with CyberSecure. Additional internet failover uses a separate UniFi LTE Backup device.
- Ubiquiti's specification lists no built-in wireless radio for the Dream Machine Pro. Wireless coverage comes from separate UniFi access points.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ubiquiti rates the UDM-Pro for 100+ managed UniFi devices and 1,000+ simultaneously connected users. It also manages up to 24 HD, 14 2K or 8 4K cameras in UniFi Protect and 150 access hubs in UniFi Access.
Ubiquiti lists IDS/IPS throughput of 3.5 Gbps. The default WAN ports are one 10G SFP+ and one GbE RJ45, and the maximum WAN port count is 8 for multi-WAN load balancing.
Yes. It runs UniFi Protect and has one 3.5" NVR HDD bay for recordings. Ubiquiti's specification does not list a hard drive as included, so a drive has to be fitted for recording.
Ubiquiti lists DC power backup through a USP-RPS DC input, enabled with a separate UniFi RPS. For gateway redundancy it also supports Shadow Mode (VRRP) gateway failover.
No wireless radio appears in Ubiquiti's specification for the UDM-Pro. It is a wired rack-mount gateway; add UniFi access points for wireless and manage them from the same UniFi Network application.
