Ubiquiti UNVR-PRO UniFi Protect Network Video Recorder Pro

The Ubiquiti UNVR-Pro Network Video Recorder is a 2U rack-mounted appliance for professional video security systems. It combines seven storage bays, high-capacity camera management, data protection, and UniFi Protect software. Therefore, it suits businesses that need centralised recording and simple remote management. Its scalable design supports offices, schools, hotels, retail sites, warehouses, and other multi-camera environments.

Product Overview

The UNVR-Pro records and manages video from compatible UniFi cameras. It supports up to 70 Full HD cameras, 35 2K cameras, or 24 4K cameras. In addition, its seven front-accessible bays accept 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch hard disk drives and solid-state drives.

A 10 Gigabit SFP+ port provides a high-speed network connection for demanding systems. Meanwhile, the Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port offers standard wired connectivity. Administrators can manage the recorder through UniFi Protect. As a result, they can view live feeds, review recordings, and manage supported devices through a clear interface.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cameras can the UNVR-Pro manage?

It can manage up to 70 Full HD cameras, 35 cameras at 2K resolution, or 24 cameras at 4K resolution. However, actual storage duration depends on drive capacity, resolution, frame rate, retention settings, and recorded activity.

How many storage drives does it support?

The recorder has seven drive bays. Each bay supports a compatible 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch hard disk drive or solid-state drive. Consequently, administrators can select storage based on the system’s required capacity and retention period.

Does the UNVR-Pro include storage drives?

The official technical specifications identify seven supported drive bays but do not list installed drives as standard contents. Therefore, confirm the supplied package and purchase suitable storage drives separately when required.

Can the recorder fit in a server rack?

Yes. The UNVR-Pro uses a 2U rack-mounted design. Its dimensions are 442 × 325 × 87mm. Before installation, confirm that the intended rack has enough space, suitable support, ventilation, and power connections.

Does it support 10 Gigabit Ethernet?

Yes. It provides one 10G SFP+ interface for high-speed network connectivity. It also includes one Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port. However, the required SFP+ module, cable, and connected network equipment must support the chosen link type.

Does it support redundant power?

Yes. The recorder includes a USP-RPS DC input for connection to a supported redundant power system. This option can provide power failover alongside the internal AC power supply.

Which management software does it use?

The Ubiquiti UNVR-Pro Network Video Recorder supports UniFi Protect for camera and recording management. It also supports UniFi Access and UniFi Connect, allowing it to serve compatible physical security and connected display environments.
