Quick Glance
Key Features
NVR, four 2K cameras and a 1TB drive in one kit
Ubiquiti's kit includes one UniFi Protect NVR Instant, four G5 Turret Ultra cameras and one 1TB 3.5" HDD. The G5 Turret Ultra is an ultra-compact, tamper-resistant and weatherproof 2K HD PoE camera with long-range night vision. The 1TB SATA drive is one Ubiquiti optimises for small-scale Protect deployments.
Cameras plug straight into six GbE PoE ports
Six Gigabit PoE RJ45 ports on the NVR power and connect supported cameras, which Ubiquiti says enables direct-to-NVR deployments without extra switching hardware. The PoE budget is 40W, up to 15.4W per port, and each G5 Turret Ultra draws up to 4W. A GbE RJ45 uplink port connects the NVR to the network.
HDMI Viewport and room to grow to 15 HD cameras
The integrated HDMI Viewport connects to a display for live monitoring of up to 15 cameras. Ubiquiti rates the NVR for up to 15 HD, 8 2K or 6 4K cameras and 50 Access hubs, running UniFi Protect, UniFi Access and UniFi Connect, so more cameras can be added later.
