Quick Glance
Key Features
Four drive bays with RAID data protection
Four 2.5/3.5" bays take HDDs or SSDs, with up to 75W of power budget for the drives. Ubiquiti lists data protection with RAID storage technology to help protect recordings. Drives are chosen and fitted separately.
Up to 60 HD, 30 2K or 18 4K cameras
Runs UniFi Protect, UniFi Access and UniFi Connect. Ubiquiti rates the UNVR for up to 60 HD, 30 2K or 18 4K cameras and 150+ Access hubs, with door access support and Vantage Point. Ubiquiti states up to 30 days of storage for 18 4K or 60 Full HD cameras.
10G SFP+ uplink and backup-ready power
A 10G SFP+ port and a GbE RJ45 port connect the recorder to the network. An internal 120W AC/DC supply runs from 100-240V AC, and a separate USP-RPS DC input makes the UNVR UniFi Power Backup ready for power redundancy.
Detailed Specifications
Specifications are Ubiquiti's own, from its technical specification and store pages for the UNVR. Hard drives, SFP+ modules and the USP-RPS backup unit are not listed as part of the UNVR. Camera counts and storage time are Ubiquiti's ratings and depend on the drives and camera settings used.
Need-to-Know
- Ubiquiti specifies four drive bays and lists no drives as part of the UNVR. Hard drives or SSDs are chosen and fitted separately - ask AtomOffice which drives suit your recording needs.
- Camera counts are Ubiquiti's ratings for the UNVR: up to 60 HD, 30 2K or 18 4K cameras. Ubiquiti's 30-day storage figure is an 'up to' figure; actual retention depends on the drives fitted and the camera settings.
- Power redundancy needs a separate Ubiquiti USP-RPS unit connected to the DC input; the UNVR runs from its internal 120W AC supply on its own.
- The 10G SFP+ port needs a compatible SFP+ module or direct-attach cable, which is a separate purchase. The GbE RJ45 port works with a standard Ethernet cable.
