Collection: UniFi Physical Security

AI-powered security that stays on-site and off your monthly bill

UniFi Physical Security: One System for Cameras, Recording, and Alarms

UniFi Physical Security from Ubiquiti brings video surveillance, intrusion detection, and environmental monitoring together in UniFi Protect. Every camera, recorder, doorbell, sensor, and siren in this collection runs on the same platform. Live video, AI-tagged events, and alerts share one interface on your phone, in a browser, or on a dedicated display.

Recordings and AI processing stay on hardware you own, for fast playback and stronger privacy. There are no licence fees or required subscriptions, however many cameras you add.

AI Security Cameras

Choose from dome and turret, bullet, compact, and PTZ cameras for indoor and outdoor coverage. G6 dome, turret, and bullet cameras pair 4K video with a Multi-TOPS AI engine. G6 Pro models add a large 1/1.2" sensor for low-light clarity and 2.36x optical zoom, while G6 Edge models run standalone, no NVR required, with built-in AI-powered search.

Panoramic 180° and 360° cameras and multi-sensor models cover wide areas from a single mount. AI PTZ cameras reach up to 31x optical zoom with IR night vision out to 100 m (328 ft). The AI LPR camera recognises licence plates on vehicles travelling up to 90 km/h (about 56 mph).

NVRs and Edge Devices

NVRs and edge devices handle recording and add intelligence to your system. Options range from the compact UNVR Instant, with a built-in PoE switch, to the Enterprise NVR Core, which supports up to 300 4K cameras with hot-swappable power supplies.

AI Key adds natural language search, plus face and licence plate recognition for cameras that don't support them natively. AI Port brings AI detection, classification, and recognition to UniFi and third-party cameras, and Protect Viewport puts live feeds on an HDMI display.

Video Doorbells

Premium PoE video doorbells pair package detection with an integrated display, so you can see who's at the door, keep an eye on deliveries, and review doorbell events in Protect alongside your other cameras.

Sensors and Alarms

Sensors and alarms extend Protect beyond video. SuperLink, UniFi's long-range, low-latency wireless protocol, links battery-powered entry, motion, glass break, and environmental sensors, plus smoke and CO alarms, to a gateway up to 2 km (1.2 mi) away, line of sight.

Add 110 dB sirens, AI speakers, a 32-zone Alarm Hub for hardwired intrusion sensors, or a PoE vape detection and air quality sensor. Alarm Manager then turns any camera or sensor event into action, from push alerts and webhooks to floodlights, PTZ presets, and audible alarms.

Camera Accessories

Mounts, junction boxes, and weather shields make clean, tamper-resistant installs easier. The Protect Floodlight and PoE to USB-C adapter round out your setup.

Why Choose UniFi Protect

• No licence fees or required subscriptions. Recording, live view, AI detections, and remote access in the UniFi Protect app come with your hardware.
• Private by design. Video is stored on hardware you own, and AI runs on-site rather than in the cloud.
• AI that finds what matters. Smart detections flag people, vehicles, packages, and animals, with Face ID and licence plate recognition on supported cameras or through AI Key.
• One platform at any scale. Start with one camera and grow to hundreds across multiple sites, all managed in UniFi Protect and UniFi Site Manager.
• Part of the UniFi ecosystem. Pair Protect with UniFi door access and PoE switches to secure entrances and power cameras over a single cable.

How to Choose the Right UniFi Security Camera

Use the filters above to narrow the range:

• Use case: Ultra Value, Starter, Professional, or Enterprise, to match your budget and site.
• Form factor: Domes suit ceilings and high-traffic areas, with IK10 vandal-resistant options. Turrets offer flexible 3-axis aiming, bullets add a visible deterrent, Instant cameras connect over WiFi, and PTZ cameras track motion across large areas.
• Resolution: 2K suits general monitoring, while 4K and higher-resolution panoramic and multi-sensor models capture finer detail across larger scenes.
• AI recognitions: LPR, Face ID, or Smart Detections, depending on the analytics you need.
• Recording: Size your NVR to your camera count, or choose models with pre-installed storage or edge recording.
• Environment: Filter by Outdoor Exposed or Outdoor Covered and by field of view, then check each camera's IR range for night coverage.

Not sure where to start? Use Compare to view models side by side, or pair a few cameras with a UNVR Instant for a compact starter system with built-in PoE.

UniFi Protect FAQs

Does UniFi Protect require a subscription?

No. Recording, live view, AI detections, and remote access through the UniFi Protect app carry no licence fees or required subscriptions, whether you run one camera or hundreds.

Do I need an NVR?

Most UniFi cameras record to a UniFi Console running Protect, such as a UniFi NVR, a CloudKey+, or a compatible Cloud Gateway with storage. G6 Edge cameras can also run standalone, with an NVR optional.

How many cameras can one NVR support?

It depends on the model. The compact UNVR Instant supports up to 15 HD or 6 4K cameras, while the Enterprise NVR Core scales to 500 Full HD or 300 4K cameras.

Can I use my existing cameras?

Yes. UniFi Protect supports third-party ONVIF cameras with no camera licences, though they offer fewer features than UniFi cameras. AI Port can add UniFi AI detection, classification, and recognition to them.

What is SuperLink?

SuperLink is UniFi's long-range, low-latency wireless protocol for Protect sensors. One SuperLink Gateway supports up to 96 SuperLink devices at up to 2 km (1.2 mi) line of sight and also works as a Thread border router.
