Just like all the Gen2 19″ routers and switches from Unifi comes the UDM Pro with a 1.3″ color touch screen. If you want to know more about Unifi Protect, then make sure you read my review about it. To give you an idea, for the Unifi Doorbell and camera I have is a 2TB hard disk more than enough to keep the recordings for 30 days. The amount of storage you need really depends on the number of cameras you have, when you record, at what quality, and how long you want to keep it. When you choose a hard drive for the UDM Pro, then make sure you pick a drive that is designed for use in a NAS or surveillance system (NVR), for example: The UDM Pro doesn’t come with a hard drive included, unlike the Cloudkey Gen2 Plus for example. To use Unifi Protect on the Dream Machine Pro you will need to install a hard drive. Load balancing between two WAN connections isn’t supported (yet?) on the Unifi Dream Machine Pro. With the extra 10G SFP+ WAN port, you can create an auto fail-over WAN connection. You can also use one SFP+ port as an extra port for your LAN connection with the use of an RJ45 1G module. The 10G SFP+ ports are a great addition for use cases in a large network where you want to have a high throughput between your switches. If you want to use the UDM Pro in a small network with a couple of cameras or an access point, you will need to either use the PoE Adapters or buy a US-8-60w switch. The UDM Pro doesn’t have any PoE ports which is really a shame. What you don’t see on the specification are PoE ports. When we take a look at the technical specifications of the Unifi Dream Machine Pro then we can see where the processing power comes from. If we take a look at the old USG for example, as soon as you enable SQM or Threat Management on it, the connection speed will drop to a max of 60mbps or so. Threat Management, for example, is a security feature that scans your network packages and proactively blocks network traffic from a known security threat.Īnd with SQM you can prevent bufferbloat, a problem where your router is pushing more data on the internet connection than it can handle.įeatures like these require a lot of processing power, something most routers/firewalls lack. The high throughput that the Unifi Dream Machine Pro can deliver is important if you want to use all the (security) features that Unifi has to offer on a fast internet connection. This means that you only need one device, and only have one interface to manage all the aspects of your network. Running on the new Unifi OS, it can host the all the current and future Unifi Controllers:
