UniFi Protect · 16 cameras · External PoE power includedG6 Turret coverage for your next security installation
This UniFi G6 Turret 16-Camera CCTV Kit – UNVR-G2 & PoE Switch is a CCTV Guru retailer-designed hardware bundle for larger homes and small commercial perimeters. It combines the exact cameras listed below with UNVR-G2 recording and a matched PoE switch.
Choose white or black cameras to suit the installation. Supporting network hardware retains its standard factory colour. Installation, Ethernet cabling, a suitable router and recording storage are separate.
Recording drive not included. The advertised kit price covers the listed hardware only. Select a compatible drive and confirm the required recording retention before ordering.
Why this kit fits
Coverage for a defined property
Larger homes and small commercial perimeters. Use the included camera mix to establish dedicated views and check each position before drilling.
Local UniFi Protect recording
UNVR-G2 runs UniFi Protect locally. A compatible recording drive must be purchased and installed before recording can begin.
Power planned for this camera count
209.6W combined maximum PoE device load against a 400W budget. The design check reserves 25% above device maximums for cabling and planning headroom.
Managed PoE switch
The included PoE switch is managed in UniFi Network, which needs a UniFi console or gateway (for example a UniFi Cloud Gateway or Dream Machine) — not included in this kit. Camera footage is recorded on the separate recorder.
What’s included — exact SKUs
Each colour option contains the quantities below. Camera ordering codes change with the selected colour; the recorder, switch and console remain the same.

Understand the camera mix
16 × G6 Turret
A compact turret for eaves, side paths and entry points. The fixed wide-angle lens provides general coverage; placement determines useful detail.
4K / 8MP; Fixed focal length; published IR range 30m; built-in microphone; IP66 / IK04.
Published infrared range describes illumination, not guaranteed face or number-plate identification distance. Recognition depends on framing, mounting height, scene lighting, angle and software configuration. These kits do not promise a dedicated traffic-enforcement or ANPR installation.
Recording and expansion
Up to 30 × 4K cameras with HDMI viewing disabled, or 20 × 4K with HDMI viewing in use. Mixed higher-resolution scenes require a final capacity check. UNVR-G2 has 4 recording-drive bays. Drive capacity is not a fixed promise of recording days: camera count, bitrate, frame rate, activity and retention settings determine storage use.
UniFi Protect provides local management and recording without a mandatory recording subscription. Remote viewing and off-site notifications require a suitable internet connection and account configuration. The recorder is not an internet router and does not replace your existing network gateway.
Power and connection plan
- Power the cameras from the included USW-Pro-Max-24-PoE and connect the recorder and switch to your existing LAN.
- Manage the switch in UniFi Network using a UniFi console or gateway (not included); use the NVR’s Protect application for the cameras.
- Reserve appropriate data ports for the recorder and router uplink.
- Included PoE device maximums total 209.6W. A 25% planning allowance gives 262.0W against the switch’s 400W published budget. Recalculate before adding devices or long cable runs.
- Use suitable Cat 5e or better Ethernet. Plan mains outlets, indoor ventilation for network equipment, weatherproof connections and any required electrical isolation.
- Install a compatible recording drive, update software, adopt each device and test day/night views, recording, playback and remote access.

- Site survey, installation and commissioning quoted separately.
Frequently asked questions
Is a hard drive included?
No. This is a hardware-only recording bundle. A compatible drive must be purchased and installed in UNVR-G2 before recording can begin.
Does the included PoE supply support these cameras?
Yes. The configuration has a calculated maximum PoE device load of 209.6W and a 400W PoE budget. Our design check includes 25% above device maximums. Recheck cabling and total load when adding equipment.
Do I need a separate UniFi controller?
The UNVR records your cameras in UniFi Protect. The included PoE switch is managed in UniFi Network, which requires a UniFi console or gateway (for example a UniFi Cloud Gateway or Dream Machine) — this is not included in the kit. You also need a suitable router/LAN.
What changes between white and black variants?
Only the exact camera colour SKUs change. Recorder, switch and management hardware stay in their standard manufacturer colours. Refer to the SKU table for the selected configuration.
Can I view the system remotely?
Remote access can be configured through UniFi Protect with a suitable internet connection and account setup. Local recording requires installed storage and a working local network.
How many days of footage will it keep?
There is no fixed retention promise. Drive capacity, camera count, resolution, bitrate, scene activity and recording mode determine retention. Size storage before ordering.
Are installation and network cables included?
No. Site cabling, a router, optional mounting accessories, storage, installation and commissioning are separately supplied or quoted.
Can I expand the kit later?
Expansion depends on recorder capacity, drive performance, available PoE ports and power, and network design. Up to 30 × 4K cameras with HDMI viewing disabled, or 20 × 4K with HDMI viewing in use. Mixed higher-resolution scenes require a final capacity check.
Are these battery or Wi-Fi cameras?
No. Every camera in this bundle uses wired Ethernet and PoE or PoE+ power. Plan a suitable cable route to each position.
Does this kit guarantee face or number-plate recognition?
No. Recognition depends on the exact camera, viewing distance, angle, lighting and configured software. Camera placement must be designed for the required detail; a broad overview is not the same as a dedicated identification view.
