Ubiquiti UNVR | UniFi Network Video Recorder

A 1U rack-mount NVR for small-to-medium UniFi Protect deployments that need dedicated on-site storage without relying on a Dream Machine.

Why this one

• Four 2.5/3.5" drive bays give you room to build toward 30 days of continuous footage — the spec sheet puts that at 18 × 4K cameras or 60 × Full HD cameras, depending on your mix.
• The 10G SFP+ uplink keeps the NVR from becoming a bottleneck when you're pulling high-bitrate 4K streams across multiple cameras simultaneously.
• UniFi Protect comes pre-installed, so the recorder is ready to adopt cameras and manage retention settings from the moment it's on the network.
• RPS compatibility means you can add a redundant power supply later if the installation needs it, without replacing the unit.

Good fit if you're running a dedicated UniFi Protect setup in a rack environment, have between 10 and 60 cameras to manage, and want storage you can expand by swapping drives rather than replacing hardware.

Worth considering something else if you already run a Dream Machine Pro or UDM-SE — both include Protect support and a drive bay, so a separate NVR may be unnecessary unless you've outgrown their capacity; alternatively, if your deployment is larger than 60 HD cameras, the UNVR-PRO supports up to seven drives and handles significantly more streams.

What you'll also need

Drives are not included — fit up to four 2.5" or 3.5" HDDs or SSDs; a UniFi Protect–compatible camera or cameras (managed separately); a PoE switch to power those cameras; and a rack with a free 1U slot plus a standard IEC power outlet within reach.
