Ubiquiti Reviews: Every UniFi Product We Have Tested
retained text
Updated August 15, 2026: Initial publication with 27 tested Ubiquiti products. This page is refreshed every few weeks as new review units come through the lab. Every product on this page has been through the StorageReview lab. Ubiquiti ships faster than almost any vendor we cover, and the catalog has grown to the point where picking between four NAS models or nine cameras is genuinely hard. This is the index: every UniFi and Ubiquiti product we have tested, grouped by what it does, with the specs that matter, our take, and a link to the full review behind each one. Affiliate disclosure: the links in the Buy (affiliate) column of every table on this page are affiliate links to Ubiquiti’s store. If you purchase through one, StorageReview may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships never affect our testing, our conclusions, or which products we cover, and we do not list any product we have not tested in our lab. A note on pricing: the price column is what the product cost at the time we reviewed it. Ubiquiti pricing is more stable than most of the hardware we cover, but check the store for current numbers before buying. Where to Start If you are building a UniFi setup from scratch, the order that matters is gateway, then switching, then cameras or storage. The Cloud Gateway Fiber at $279 is the cheapest sensible entry to 10G with real IDS/IPS throughput, and the Dream Router 7 folds WiFi 7 into the same box if you would rather not run separate access points. For storage, the split is straightforward. The UNAS 2 is the $199 two-bay starting point, the UNAS Pro is the seven-bay enthusiast box, and the Enterprise NAS is where Ubiquiti stops competing with home NAS vendors and starts competing on real throughput, at 4,170 MB/s sequential read in our testing. On cameras, nearly everything current is 4K with on-device AI, so the decision is form factor and field of view rather than image quality. The G6 Turret at $199 is the volume pick, the G6 Pro 360 replaces several cameras in one room, and you will need an NVR or a Protect-capable gateway to record any of it. Everything We Have Tested Network Storage Cameras and NVR Switching and PoE Gateways and Routers WiFi Access Points Power and Tools Ubiquiti FAQ Is Ubiquiti gear worth it? For the money, in our testing, generally yes, with a caveat. The value is in the ecosystem: one controller for network, cameras, storage, and power, with no per-camera or per-site licensing, which is where competing surveillance and networking stacks quietly get expensive. The caveat is that the value depends on staying inside the ecosystem, so mixing in third-party gear erases much of the advantage. What is the best UniFi camera? For most installations, the G6 Turret at $199, which brings 4K, a 1/1.8-inch sensor, 30m IR, and on-device face and license plate recognition at the lowest price in the current G6 line. Choose the AI Dome instead when you need longer night range, at 40m against the G6 Dome’s 30m, and the G6 Pro 360 when one 12MP panoramic camera can replace two or three fixed ones. Which UniFi NAS should I buy? The UNAS 2 at $199 for two drives and light duty, the UNAS Pro at $499 for seven bays and 10G, and the Enterprise NAS at $3,999 when you need dual 25GbE, ZFS, and redundant power. The performance gap is wide and worth understanding: we measured 270.5 MB/s on the UNAS 2 against 4,170 MB/s on the Enterprise NAS. Do I need a UniFi gateway to use UniFi cameras? You need something running UniFi Protect, which means either a Protect-capable console such as the Dream Machine Pro Max, or a dedicated recorder like the UNVR-Pro. Cameras alone will not record. Budget for the recorder and the storage in it when pricing a camera project, because that is where camera-only quotes tend to fall apart. How often is this page updated? Every few weeks. Ubiquiti releases frequently and we test most of what ships, so new entries are added as reviews publish and the dated note at the top records what changed. If a product is not on this page, we have not tested it, and we do not list hardware we have not put through the lab.
