This is an important step that allows users to expand their existing video surveillance systems without being limited to the UniFi camera ecosystem. This can reduce costs by allowing them to continue using their existing equipment, while still providing access to the comprehensive feature set of the UniFi Protect platform.
In addition to support for ONVIF cameras, the new version of UniFi Protect 5.0 offers a number of other improvements and new features:
A new video recorder from Ubiquiti, the Enterprise Network Video Recorder (ENVR) is a high-performance solution for extended surveillance systems, designed specifically for enterprise networks. It supports up to 16 drives (2.5"/3.5", HDD or SSD) for storage management flexibility. ENVR supports up to 70 4K cameras or 210 Full HD cameras, making it an ideal choice for large-scale projects.
Built-in RAID technology provides data protection, increasing the reliability of the storage system - which is especially important in networks where reliability is critical. For efficient data transmission, the device is equipped with two 10G SFP ports and one 10 GbE RJ45 port, ensuring a stable and fast connection to process large amounts of video in real time.
The ENVR's performance is complemented by its ease of use. The video recorder features hot-swapping of drives and power supplies to minimize downtime when servicing the system or replacing hardware. This feature is essential in corporate networks where uninterrupted operation of the monitoring system is crucial.
To improve the convenience of the device, the Enterprise NVR Bezel (UACC-ENVR-BEZEL) accessory is available - a front panel with a 4.7-inch touchscreen and LED backlight. The panel greatly simplifies disk management and allows viewing of video streams directly from the device. A built-in door latch provides physical protection for the drives, further enhancing system security.
