Imagine having full control over your entire Network and surveillance cameras – all from a single, intuitive device. This is exactly what the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus offers you. It is your integrated hardware controller and application server, simultaneously controlling all your UniFi Network management and UniFi Protect Video surveillance through a single interface. Whether it's your Access Points, switches, or gateways, or the recordings from your security cameras – you have everything in view and under control.
Security and Flexibility: Your Data, Your Access
With the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus, you benefit from secure and private remote access to all your UniFi installations worldwide. The innovative Hybrid Cloud Technology from Ubiquiti enables single sign-on (SSO) without relying on third-party cloud services. This means for you: Your personal data and network information always remain stored locally and securely on your device. With the integrated 1TB HDD, the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus functions as a full-fledged NVR for your Video surveillance (UniFi Protect). This way, you enjoy maximum flexibility with full data sovereignty.
Efficient, Flexible, and Always Ready for Use
The UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus is a true powerhouse that eliminates the need for a dedicated server or computer. You can conveniently power it via PoE (Power over Ethernet) with PoE Injectors / Power Supplies (standard 802.3af) or a Quick Charge 2.0/3.0 USB-C adapter. Thanks to Bluetooth Setup, initial setup via the mobile app is lightning fast. And what if the power goes out? No problem! A built-in battery ensures an automatic, safe shutdown of the system and protects your important data from loss. This way, your Network management and system monitoring are always reliable – perfect for SOHO and SMBs.
Application Scenarios: Where the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus Shines
Whether for your small or medium-sized business (SMB), your smart home, or branch offices – the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus is versatile. It offers comprehensive management for the entire UniFi infrastructure, including Network monitoring and Video surveillance. For technically savvy home users or small home offices, it serves as a powerful solution for managing a UniFi-based home network, controlling WiFi networks, managing guest access, and simultaneously serving as a local NVR for UniFi cameras. Companies with multiple locations benefit from independent local management per location and centralized remote access via the UniFi Management Portal. This way, your scalable network always remains under control.
