This UniFi G6 Turret 2-Camera CCTV Kit – UNVR-Instant is a CCTV Guru retailer-designed hardware bundle for homes, driveways and side paths. It combines the exact cameras listed below with UNVR-Instant recording and integrated PoE power.
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
Homes, driveways and side paths. Use the included camera mix to establish dedicated views and check each position before drilling.
Local UniFi Protect recording
UNVR-Instant runs UniFi Protect locally. A compatible recording drive must be purchased and installed before recording can begin.
Power planned for this camera count
25.0W combined maximum PoE device load against a 40W budget. The design check reserves 25% above device maximums for cabling and planning headroom.
Management on the recorder
The NVR powers these two cameras directly and hosts Protect. No separate PoE switch or CloudKey is included or needed for this two-camera topology.

Understand the camera mix
2 × 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 6 × 4K cameras; this 2-camera kit uses 2 of that published capacity. UNVR-Instant has 1 recording-drive bay. 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
- Connect both cameras to the UNVR-Instant PoE ports, then connect its uplink to your router or LAN.
- The combined camera maximum is 25.0W. The recorder has a 40W shared PoE budget and up to 15.4W per PoE port.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
Is a hard drive included?
No. A compatible recording drive must be purchased and installed in UNVR-Instant before recording can begin.
Does the included PoE supply support these cameras?
Yes. The configuration has a calculated maximum PoE device load of 25.0W and a 40W 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?
UNVR-Instant runs UniFi Protect and supplies power to the two included cameras. A separate CloudKey or PoE switch is not required for this configuration. You still 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 6 × 4K cameras; this 2-camera kit uses 2 of that published capacity.
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.
