Ubiquiti UNVR-G2 Network Video Recorder G2 1U
Overview
The Ubiquiti UNVR-G2 is a 1U rack-mount Network Video Recorder designed for UniFi Protect surveillance deployments. It provides four 2.5-inch/3.5-inch HDD or SSD bays, built-in AI event analytics, HDMI Viewport output, and local video storage and management.
The recorder can manage up to 60 HD cameras, 50 2K cameras, or 30 4K cameras when the built-in HDMI Viewport is disabled. When the integrated Viewport is in use, the supported camera capacity is reduced to 40 HD, 30 2K, or 20 4K cameras. Ubiquiti specifies up to 16 simultaneous 4K Viewport camera streams.
Video Recording and Management
UNVR-G2 is designed around the UniFi Protect platform and provides centralized recording and management for supported UniFi cameras. Its four drive bays support 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch HDD or SSD storage, allowing storage capacity to be configured according to the surveillance deployment.
The recorder also supports built-in AI event analytics and local video storage. UniFi Protect stores recordings locally on the console, giving administrators control over storage configuration and video retention.
Camera Capacity
With the built-in HDMI Viewport disabled, Ubiquiti specifies support for up to 60 HD, 50 2K, or 30 4K cameras. Using the integrated HDMI Viewport reduces the supported capacity to 40 HD, 30 2K, or 20 4K cameras.
Storage and Data Protection
The UNVR-G2 provides four drive bays supporting both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch HDD or SSD drives. The recorder includes data protection capabilities and provides a maximum power budget of 75W for installed drives.
Storage configuration and retention depend on the installed drives, camera resolution, recording settings, and surveillance workload. Storage capacity should therefore be planned according to the specific deployment rather than assuming a fixed recording duration.
Networking and Display
The UNVR-G2 provides one 10G SFP+ port and one 2.5 GbE RJ45 port for network connectivity. The integrated HDMI Viewport allows supported surveillance streams to be displayed directly on a compatible HDMI display without requiring a separate Viewport device.
Power and Redundancy
The recorder includes an internal 100W AC/DC power supply and accepts universal AC input from 100–240V AC. It also supports a USP-RPS DC input at 11.5V DC, providing a redundant power option when used with a compatible Ubiquiti power redundancy system.
Key Features
- 1U rack-mount UniFi Network Video Recorder with four 2.5/3.5-inch drive bays
- Supports up to 30 4K, 50 2K, or 60 HD cameras with HDMI Viewport disabled
- Built-in HDMI Viewport supporting up to 16 simultaneous 4K camera streams
- 10G SFP+ and 2.5 GbE RJ45 networking interfaces
- Built-in AI event analytics with support for UniFi Protect, UniFi Access, and UniFi Connect
Applications
The UNVR-G2 is designed for centralized video recording and management in UniFi surveillance installations. Its four drive bays and 1U rack-mount form factor make it suitable for deployments requiring dedicated local video storage, while the integrated HDMI Viewport can provide direct monitoring on a connected display.
DC Supplies Product Note
The camera capacity specification changes when the integrated HDMI Viewport is used. For the highest stated recording capacity, Ubiquiti specifies up to 60 HD, 50 2K, or 30 4K cameras with the built-in Viewport disabled. When the Viewport is active, those figures become 40 HD, 30 2K, and 20 4K respectively.
