Ubiquiti UniFi Protect UNVR 4-Bay Network Video Recorder

The UniFi Protect UNVR is a dedicated video recorder for deployments that need centralised camera management and local storage. Its four drive bays accept 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch hard disk drives and solid-state drives, giving installers flexibility to size the recorder for retention and camera resolution requirements. Drives are not included, so storage capacity can be selected separately for the project.

The recorder provides a 10G SFP+ uplink and a Gigabit Ethernet port for network integration. RAID storage technology helps protect recorded data, while DC power backup readiness supports installations that require continuity during a power event. UniFi Protect is pre-installed for a focused recorder workflow and straightforward adoption into a UniFi surveillance system.

Use the UNVR with compatible UniFi cameras and a suitable network switch or gateway. Storage retention depends on the installed drives, camera count, resolution, frame rate, and recording settings; the commonly quoted camera examples are planning guidance rather than a guarantee. Confirm drive compatibility and the required power and network connections before installation. The diskless configuration lets the installer choose the storage media for the site. It is suited to expandable Protect systems where storage planning matters.
