Ubiquiti UDM-PRO | UniFi Dream Machine Pro | (1) 10G SFP+

A 1U rack-mount gateway for small-to-medium businesses or serious home labs that need firewall, routing, UniFi OS control, and optional camera storage in a single appliance.

Why this one

• 3.5 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput means deep packet inspection runs at full working speed on a multi-gig WAN — you're not choosing between security and performance.
• The built-in 3.5" HDD bay lets you add local camera storage without a separate UNVR, which matters when you're managing up to 8 × 4K or 14 × 2K cameras from a single box.
• Support for 100+ UniFi devices and 1,000+ simultaneous clients means it won't become the ceiling on a growing site — most offices that outgrow a UCG-Max have room to run here for years.
• Shadow Mode VRRP failover and a DC power backup input via UniFi RPS give you gateway redundancy that the Cloud Gateway range doesn't offer at this form factor.

Good fit if you're running a rack in a comms room, need IPS at multi-gig speeds, want Protect camera storage on the same appliance, and have a UniFi estate that's grown beyond what a desktop gateway can comfortably handle.

Worth considering something else if your site is smaller and doesn't need rack mounting — the UCG-Max handles routing and UniFi OS in a desktop form factor that suits a single-switch office without the 1U overhead, and if you need a dedicated high-capacity recorder the UNVR-PRO is built specifically for that workload.

What you'll also need

A PoE switch for your access points and cameras (the UDM-PRO has no PoE ports of its own), a 3.5" NVR-compatible hard drive if you want local Protect storage, rack space and a patch panel or keystone panel for cable management, and a UniFi RPS unit if you want the DC power backup input active.
