Rack-mount Ubiquiti UniFi consoles install in standard equipment racks and combine the console with an integrated switch, multiple network interfaces, and an NVR drive bay for centralized system expansion. Compact consoles take up less space, connect through Power over Ethernet (PoE) or USB-C power, and provide UniFi application management with built-in NVR storage for installations that need a smaller footprint.

Ubiquiti UniFi consoles support network connections that can include 10G SFP+ and Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports for LAN and WAN connectivity, depending on the console. Power options include Power over Ethernet (PoE) for compact consoles, while some models also support USB-C power with a Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0 compliant adapter.

UniFi consoles run the UniFi application suite, giving integrators a central way to set up, monitor, and manage connected access points, switches, cameras, and other managed devices. Depending on the console, they can also provide network routing, switching, and network video recorder storage within the same management platform.

Look for a UniFi console with built-in NVR storage, such as a pre-installed hard drive or an available hard drive bay, to support video recording needs. Full UniFi application support can simplify device management and provide access to surveillance tools alongside networking and other UniFi applications.
