The Ubiquiti UniFi Protect UNVR-G2 represents a significant leap in network video recording technology, designed specifically for high-demand environments that require robust performance and scalability. This 1U rack-mountable unit integrates powerful AI analytics directly into the hardware, allowing for intelligent monitoring without relying on external processing power. Whether you are managing a small business or a large enterprise facility, the UNVR-G2 offers the flexibility to handle hundreds of cameras while maintaining crisp playback quality through its dedicated HDMI viewport.
This high-performance Network Video Recorder combines speed and reliability in a compact 1U chassis. It features four drive bays for flexible storage expansion, supporting both SSDs and HDDs up to 3.5 inches. The device is equipped with a dedicated 10Gbps SFP+ port and a 2.5Gbps Ethernet interface, ensuring rapid data transfer for high-resolution video streams. With built-in AI capabilities and support for door access control integration, this unit serves as the central brain of your security ecosystem.
At the heart of the UNVR-G2 lies a powerful Qualcomm Kryo CPU built on advanced 4 nm Arm Cortex technology. This processor architecture includes one prime core running at 3.2 GHz, four performance cores at 2.8 GHz, and three efficiency cores at 2.0 GHz, paired with 8 GB of memory to handle complex tasks seamlessly. The unit is constructed from durable SGCC steel, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of a server room or data center environment while maintaining an ambient operating temperature range between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius.
The storage architecture of this device is designed for maximum flexibility and capacity. It includes four dedicated bays that accept both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives, allowing you to scale your recording retention based on your specific needs. The system supports up to a 75W power budget for the drives, with a total maximum power consumption of 100W. Users can connect via a universal AC input ranging from 100-240V or utilize the USP-RPS DC input port at 11.5V for redundant power supply capabilities.
Connectivity is a major strength of this model, featuring a versatile networking interface that includes one 10G SFP+ port and one 2.5 GbE RJ45 port. This setup allows for seamless integration into existing high-speed networks while maintaining compatibility with standard Ethernet connections. The device also supports management via both Ethernet and Bluetooth, providing convenient access to the UniFi Protect, UniFi Access, and UniFi Connect applications.
Performance metrics are impressive across various video resolutions. When the built-in HDMI viewport is disabled, the system can manage up to 60 HD cameras, 50 2K cameras, or 30 4K cameras. If you choose to utilize the HDMI viewport for local monitoring, the capacity adjusts slightly to support 40 HD, 30 2K, or 20 4K streams simultaneously. The unit can also handle up to 16 simultaneous 4K camera viewport streams and supports over 150 managed access hubs.
Data integrity is ensured through comprehensive data protection protocols and NDAA compliance, making it suitable for government and sensitive commercial applications. The device includes status LEDs for Ethernet, SFP+, RPS, HDD, and system health monitoring to provide at-a-glance operational feedback. It operates within a humidity range of 5 to 95% noncondensing and carries CE, FCC, and IC certifications for global compliance.
The UNVR-G2 requires specific software versions to function correctly, including UniFi Protect version 7.1.55 or later and UniFi Access version 4.2.16 or later. This ensures that all new AI features and security patches are available upon installation. The physical dimensions of the unit measure 442.4 x 43.7 x 325 mm, making it a standard 1U rack-mount solution that fits easily into most server cabinets.
Users should note that hard drives are not included with this purchase and must be selected from Ubiquiti's compatible list to ensure optimal performance. The total weight of the unit is approximately 6 kg or 13.2 lb, reflecting its robust metal construction. For those looking to expand their security infrastructure, the part number UNVR-G2 identifies this specific configuration for easy reordering.
