UniFi Cloud Gateway with Camera Support

The offered product is a Cloud Gateway designed to operate within the UniFi network. It functions as a controller and enables remote access to the network via the cloud. It supports most UniFi systems, including Network, Protect, Access, Talk, and Connect. The UCG-Fiber also acts as a router, supporting OSPF and advanced NAT features. Its IDS/IPS performance reaches 5 Gbps, and the gateway can handle up to 50 UniFi devices and a maximum of 500 clients simultaneously.

An additional advantage is support for SD-WAN and site-to-site VPN—features useful for businesses that want to connect branch offices to the main headquarters or create a secure link between two locations. The gateway can also function as either a VPN server or client; the list of supported standards can be found in the specifications below.

UniFi Protect Support – IP Recorder Functionality

One of the supported systems is UniFi Protect, allowing the UCG-Fiber to manage a network that includes IP cameras. The maximum number of connected cameras is: 15 HD cameras, 8 2K cameras, or 5 4K cameras. This capacity is more than sufficient for home use and even adequate for small businesses. You can connect an NVMe SSD with an M.2 interface to the device, which will serve as storage for video recordings. The maximum supported drive capacity is 2 TB.

2 SFP+ Slots, 1 10G Ethernet Port, 4 2.5G Ethernet Ports

Among the many advantages of the Cloud Gateway Fiber, its bandwidth capabilities stand out. It features 2 SFP+ slots (10 Gbps) and 1 10G Ethernet port, offering a total of three 10 Gbps interfaces. In addition, the 4 × 2.5G Ethernet ports allow for the connection of other devices at 2.5 Gbps speeds. The last 2.5G Ethernet port includes a PoE+ (802.3at) power output. The UCG-Fiber can support up to 6 WAN ports simultaneously. By default, one SFP+ slot and the 10G Ethernet port are configured as WAN. The gateway supports Multi-WAN Load Balancing, enabling traffic distribution across multiple WAN ports. Another key feature is internet failover with mobile transmission, available when used with an additional UniFi LTE Backup device.

Compact Desktop-Style Housing

The device features a compact desktop-style enclosure and weighs only 675 g (without the hard drive). The package includes an external power adapter rated at 54 V DC and 1.1 A. The maximum power consumption of the Cloud Gateway Fiber itself is 29.4 W, which may increase when using the PoE power output.

Use Cases

Thanks to its high performance and support for most UniFi systems, the UCG-Fiber is an excellent choice for homes and small businesses that utilize modern access points with 2.5G Ethernet interfaces. It enables the creation of a high-speed local network based on 2.5 Gbps connectivity, while also supporting cameras and Access-series devices. This makes the Cloud Gateway Fiber suitable for a wide range of environments. Additionally, it stands out with its attractive price—especially considering that it combines the functionality of several network devices in one.
