Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Machine Pro 1U Rack Mount Appliance

Product Information

For Wi-Fi, you will need to get a Wi-Fi Access Point (WAP) such as the Unifi 6 Liteor Unifi 6 Pro, both of which I use in my home. I also have a detailed comparison of the various Unifi WAPs.

What also sets the UDM Pro apart from many other routers (including Ubiquiti’s own EdgeRouter series) is an exciting set of features. The in-built UniFi Controller software allows the provision and management of a range of UniFi devices, which include best-in-class Wi-Fi Access Points, through a single, centralised interface. UniFi gateway routers, like the Dream Machine or next-gen Gateway Lite, appear simple until you dig below the surface. There are two categories and a few models in each. Ubiquiti also have UISP Routers and EdgeRouters, which may be a better option for more advanced networks. UniFi is separate from UISP, and this guide focuses on UniFi. EdgeRouters expose more networking features in their web interface, and can be configured through a command line. EdgeRouters are more traditional networking equipment, where UniFi is “software defined” and managed by the UniFi Network application. Outside of a few setup wizards, the EdgeRouter and EdgeSwitch products don’t hold your hand, and they expect you to be able to configure things manually.

Once you’ve collected all the necessities, you’ll then need to follow the steps below to set up port forwarding on your UDM Pro router: Ubiquiti's UniFi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro) is an all-in-one network appliancefor a scalable network in an office, retail, or hospitality environment.Powered by a fast 1.7 GHz quad-core processor, the UDM Procombines multiple functions into a single device: With the 128Gb internal Drive - Network won't need it and you shouldn't use it for protect. So it comes down to the other software applications Ubiquiti Provide and do you have a network large enough.

Both UDM-SE and UDM-Pro support Wireguard VPN now (earlier only the UDM-SE did). What else do you need to buy along with the UDM? Resets to factory defaults. The device should be running after bootup is complete. Press and hold the Reset button for about 10 seconds until the display indicates that the device has reset itself. After a few seconds, the LED will turn off, and the device will automatically reboot. The UXG-Pro was finally added to general access in March 2022, after spending nearly 2 years in the Early Access store. The UXG-Pro is not a UniFi OS Console, meaning it can be used with self or cloud-hosted UniFi Network controllers, like the USG line could. The UXG-Pro doesn’t run any UniFi applications, making it a standalone router just like a USG or USG-Pro. Video surveillance is just as easy to set up. The appliance accepted our Seagate 10TB SATA drive without a murmur and instantly made it available for recording incoming video. After we’d added a UVC G4 Bullet IP camera to our account, we were able to view its live feed from the portal, enable smart detection and set up custom motion-detection events and recording actions.If you’re wondering how you can avail all the benefits that come with port forwarding, then the following guide is sure to help you out. In this particular guide, we’ll show you how to port forward UDM Pro. Requirements to port forward UDM Pro Here’s a good example of how to configure an USG to route traffic over an OpenVPN tunnel. If this type of configuration is intimidating to you, take a hard look at what is officially supported. You will be limited to the settings in the web interface unless you are willing to create custom, breakable configurations on old hardware. This is described as “for full UniFi OS Application experience” which is a clever way of saying not just for protect. So while I understand you can use it for video capture for one or two camera's that's not completely what it's there for and I'm not sure would actually be a good idea - just add a surveillance hard drive. Shattering conventional industry thinking, UniFi Protect provides powerful IP surveillance software without the huge up-front costs or monthly subscription fees.
