Your Network, Reimagined: The All-in-One UniFi OS Console
Forget cable clutter and the complexity of multiple devices! With the Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Machine Special Edition (UDM SE), you get a revolutionary all-in-one Network console that effortlessly controls your entire UniFi ecosystem. As a central UniFi OS console, it runs all applications like Network, Protect, Access, and Talk from a single, intuitive interface. This means for you: Comprehensive and centralized network management of your entire infrastructure, from [Ubiquiti] [UniFi Access Points] to surveillance cameras and access control systems.
Power and Security that will impress you
The UDM SE is not only powerful but also a stronghold for your network security. With Dual-WAN capability, consisting of a 10G SFP+ and a 2.5 GbE RJ45 WAN port, you benefit from maximum bandwidth and redundancy. Your network is optimally protected by advanced features such as IDS/IPS (Intrusion Detection/Prevention System) with over 55,000 signatures and an intelligent Firewall. The 8 Gigabit LAN ports, including 6x PoE and 2x PoE+, often make additional [Ethernet Switch] devices superfluous and directly supply your devices with power and data. Also, VPN server/client and Multi-WAN Load Balancing are on board – true Enterprise-Grade for your network.
Integrated NVR: Surveillance Made Easy
The UniFi Dream Machine Special Edition is your ideal solution for video surveillance. Thanks to the integrated 3.5-inch NVR hard drive bay and a 128 GB SSD, it becomes a full-fledged NVR for UniFi Protect. This saves you a separate device and seamlessly integrates your security management into your network. This way, you keep everything in view without compromising on performance. Perfect for a demanding Smart Home or comprehensive network infrastructure for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
Scalability and Reliability that Grows with You
In critical environments, every second counts. The UDM SE was developed to offer you maximum reliability. Features like Shadow Mode (VRRP) for gateway failover and a DC power input for DC backup (USP-RPS) ensure uninterrupted network operation. The rack-mountable 1U console can manage over 100 UniFi devices and over 1,000 clients and is capable of running all current and future UniFi OS applications. So you can rely on your network always being online and available, even in unforeseen events.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: All-in-One solution with high integration: Combines router, security gateway, PoE Switch, network controller, and NVR in a single 1U rack device, which reduces complexity and simplifies management.
- Pro: Powerful Connectivity and Security: Offers Dual-WAN capability (10G SFP+ and 2.5GbE RJ45), 3.5 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput for advanced threat detection and prevention, and comprehensive Firewall functions.
- Pro: Scalability and Centralized Management: Supports over 100 UniFi devices and 1,000+ clients, enables management of the entire UniFi ecosystem via a single interface, and is designed for future UniFi OS applications.
- Note: No Multi-Gig PoE LAN Ports: Although the UDM SE has 8 Gigabit PoE LAN ports (6x PoE, 2x PoE+), Multi-Gigabit PoE LAN ports are missing, which may require an additional Multi-Gig PoE Switch when connecting the latest Multi-Gig Access Points (e.g., U6 Enterprise AP).
- Note: Rack-Mount Form Factor: The device is designed as a 1U rack-mount, which may be impractical for pure home users who do not have a dedicated network infrastructure, due to its size and design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between the UDM Pro and the UDM SE?
The UDM SE is based on the UDM Pro, but additionally offers a 2.5 GbE RJ45 WAN port, an integrated PoE switch with 8 Gigabit ports (6x PoE, 2x PoE+), and an integrated 128 GB SSD for UniFi Protect recordings. The UDM Pro does not have these PoE ports and the SSD integrated by default.
Can the UDM SE handle 10 Gigabit internet speeds?
Yes, the UDM SE features a 10G SFP+ WAN port and a 10G SFP+ LAN port. It can achieve an IDS/IPS throughput of 3.5 Gbps, which is sufficient for most 10-Gigabit internet connections, although it may not reach the full 10 Gbps with deep packet inspection enabled.
Does the UDM SE require a subscription to use UniFi applications?
No, the core functionalities and management of UniFi applications (Network, Protect, Access, Talk, Connect) on your UDM SE are license-free and do not require a subscription. However, there are optional paid services like "CyberSecure" for advanced threat signatures.
How many cameras can the UDM SE manage with UniFi Protect?
The UDM SE can manage a significant number of cameras, typically up to 24 HD cameras, 14 2K cameras, or 8 4K cameras, depending on the resolution and your recording settings. It features a 3.5-inch HDD bay for additional storage capacity for UniFi Protect recordings.
Is the UDM SE suitable for use in a home network?
Yes, the UDM SE is suitable for both small to medium-sized businesses and demanding home networks. It offers a powerful all-in-one solution with advanced features for security, network management, and smart home integration. For a typical home network, however, it may be considered "overkill" unless you have a high demand for integrated features such as 10G, PoE switch, NVR, and advanced security.
How is the UDM SE set up and managed?
Setting up your UDM SE is simplified thanks to the integrated Bluetooth radio and the UniFi Network App (web or mobile) and can be completed in minutes. Management is done via the central UniFi OS Console, which provides an intuitive interface for all UniFi applications and also allows remote access via the UniFi OS Portal.
