One network. A clearer UniFi plan.
Choose Ubiquiti UniFi gateways, WiFi access points, switches and Protect cameras as a complete system. Match the console, storage and power requirements before adding devices.
UniFi & Ubiquiti options, explained.
Start with the job each device needs to do.
Protect

Access & sensors
Door access, intercoms and sensors have their own controllers and compatibility requirements. Plan them around the intended site workflow.

Gateway or dedicated NVR?
A supported all-in-one console can suit a smaller site. A dedicated Protect NVR separates recording and storage from network routing.
WiFi or PoE cameras?
WiFi still requires local power and reliable wireless coverage. PoE combines data and power over compatible Ethernet cabling.
WiFi 6 or WiFi 7?
Consider client devices, cabling and switch uplinks. A faster access point alone does not increase your internet plan speed.
Plan a complete UniFi & Ubiquiti system.
Applications
List the UniFi applications you need and check that the chosen console supports each one.
PoE & uplinks
Match each device’s PoE standard, the switch’s total budget and the link speed required.
Camera & HDD capacity
Check supported camera load and recording storage for your intended video quality and retention.
Physical fit
Confirm indoor/outdoor suitability, rack space, mounts and cable paths. Plan a UPS for essential equipment.
UniFi & Ubiquiti buying questions.
Can every UniFi gateway record cameras?
No. Protect must run on a supported UniFi console or NVR. Confirm application and storage support for the exact model.
Does a WiFi camera need a power cable?
Yes, unless the particular model has another specified power arrangement. WiFi describes its network connection, not a guarantee of battery operation.
Is any PoE switch suitable?
Check the required standard and wattage for each device, total switch budget, port speed and uplinks.
Can I start small and expand?
Yes. Leave capacity for more devices, storage and PoE load. Check supported limits before committing to a console.
