Your UniFi Hub: Network and Cameras under Control
No more hassle of keeping your own server or PC running for your UniFi software. The Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus is the elegant and powerful all-in-one solution. As a dedicated hardware controller, it is optimized to run the UniFi Network and UniFi Protect applications stably and resource-efficiently. You manage your UniFi Access Points, UniFi Switch devices, and IP Cameras through a single, intuitive interface – whether in the office or on the go. The plug-and-play setup via Bluetooth makes getting started easier than ever before.
Integrated NVR: Your UniFi Protect Recordings, Securely with You
The Cloud Key Gen2 Plus is not just a controller, but also a full-fledged Network Video Recorder (NVR) for your UniFi Protect System. With the already integrated 1TB hard drive, you can start immediately and store recordings from your cameras locally. This means: no monthly cloud fees and full control over your sensitive data. If your storage needs grow, you can easily replace the hard drive with a larger 2.5-inch drive of up to 5 TB. This creates a scalable and private UniFi Protect NVR solution for your home or business, enhancing your overall Network security.
Secure Remote Access & Protection Against Power Outage
With Ubiquiti' hybrid cloud technology, you enjoy the best of both worlds. You get secure remote access to your UniFi Network via a Single Sign-On (SSO) portal, without your configurations or video recordings ever ending up on third-party servers. Everything remains securely with you. An invaluable advantage is the built-in battery. In the event of a sudden power outage, the Cloud Key automatically and cleanly shuts down. This reliably prevents the feared data corruption of the database and protects your recordings – a feature often missing in conventional solutions for Network devices.
Flexible Design and Easy Power Supply
The elegant anodized aluminum housing not only looks good but also serves for passive cooling. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus fits anywhere. Power Supply is extremely flexible: You can either power it directly via the Network cable with an 802.3af-enabled Ethernet Switch or use the USB-C port in conjunction with a suitable power adapter, leveraging PoE Injectors / Power Supplies. The front display provides you with live information about the system status at all times, so you always have everything in view regarding your Network performance.
