Ubiquiti UniFi (UCK-G2-PLUS) CloudKey+ with 1TB HDD

After finding out that Ubiquiti had forced the Unifi Video to no longer work; I needed a solution for my cameras to function and WIFI.

This works perfectly and has plenty of storage with its 1TB.

The setup was easy and connected perfectly with the existing devices.

However, one thing to be aware of is that it does not contain a power adapter. If you are using the EdgeRouter/Switch series of Ubiquiti products it will not power the device as they are 24v POE. You will need a 48v POE adapter which PBTech does sell (Ubiquiti U-POE-af Passive PoE Injector (Only work with 48V 802.3af PoE devices)) or a USB-C power supply. I tested a 15w...view more After finding out that Ubiquiti had forced the Unifi Video to no longer work; I needed a solution for my cameras to function and WIFI.

I tested a 15w Samsung adapter but this wasn't powerful enough, but the 25w is but about the same price as the POE adapter.

If you’re in the unifi universe this is a great piece of kit. Intuitive apps and it runs your cameras and network.
It is a bit pricey though and bear in mind it doesn’t come with a power supply. It requires either POE or a usb power source. If you’re in the unifi universe this is a great piece of kit. Intuitive apps and it runs your cameras and network.

Excellent replacement for the old cloud key, and also runs the Unifi protect server. Took a bit of setting up, but once done, works without fault. Excellent replacement for the old cloud key, and also runs the Unifi protect server. Took a bit of setting up, but once done, works without fault.

Previously used a virtual machine to host the controller software. - Now I use this. Very happy with the purchase. Previously used a virtual machine to host the controller software. - Now I use this. Very happy with the purchase.

I'm so glad I spent the extra $$$ and went for the gen 2 plus, auto back up to micro SD and the battery back up were the features that sold me on this model. Not cheap but worth every cent for peace of mind. Unit was easy to set up, but I cheated and started from scratch. Unit is typical Ubiquiti build quality, solid and seamless.

If you are into Ubiquity/UniFi hardware, then this is a very cool all in one device. It is both the Unifi Management Software, and Unifi's latest effort at video recording in their app called 'Unifi Protect'. It runs both software simultaneously, so you can manage your switches/wifi, and also have your cameras recording to the Unifi protect software. Protect seems to be their way forward - as they move away from Unifi Video. Simple install, and easy to use if you have a bit of tech understanding.

Brought this to replace a gen 1 CK and a NVR running unifi video on an old windows 10 PC. It has done an amazing job, easy setup and flawless use. Unifi protect is fast and easy to use.

This is the simplest way for us to set up security cameras, NVR and managed guest wifi as well as an IoT network using this one box.
The cloud key also lets you monitor the network from anywhere in the world with Ubiquiti"s FREE cloud controller and unifi protect.

PBTech has been our "GOTO" supplier for Tech gear for years with prices that are often better than the master distributor. This is the simplest way for us to set up security cameras, NVR and managed guest wifi as well as an IoT network using this one box.

This is a great product, plug and play simplifying access to the management of Unifi switch and AP's. Also great at managing the upgrades of the Unifi products on the network. Bonus is the 1tb Hard Dist that comes with if for recording remote camera sessions. Not essential for the network buy makes life a lot easier when managing multiple Unifi products.

After using the cloud key version 1 personally I obtained this for a client. The speed, and ease of use is phenomenal. After using the cloud key version 1 personally I obtained this for a client. The speed, and ease of use is phenomenal.

Ubiquiti is the only company that offers a single controlling mechanism across all its devices from a common dashboard. Cloudkey Gen2 plus is what makes this happen. Easy to setup and get going. Its a computer in its own right. Been using it for a few weeks now and have not regretted my decision to go with ubiquiti.

Ian Liu, the pbtech representative, was very helpful and cooperative and I appreciate the deal he gave me. More than the deal, it is his availability and support that are extremely valuable.
