Ubiquiti UniFi UNVR-Instant Compact NVR 6-Port PoE 4K
The Ubiquiti UniFi UNVR-Instant Compact NVR is a desktop network video recorder built for small to medium UniFi Protect camera installations. It combines a 6-port PoE switch, NVR functionality, and HDMI viewport in a compact form factor, eliminating the need for separate switching hardware and simplifying deployment.
Why this product
Integrated 6-port PoE switch
Power and connect up to 6 cameras directly from the device without additional networking equipment, reducing cable runs and simplifying installation.
Supports 6 × 4K or 15 × Full HD
Handles simultaneous streams from up to 6 4K cameras or mix HD and 2K models for flexible multi-camera setups.
Single 3.5" HDD bay
Accepts one standard desktop hard drive for local recording storage, with 11W max power budget for the drive.
Integrated HDMI viewport
Built-in HDMI output streams live 4K video directly to a monitor without requiring a separate display server.
Compact desktop or wall mount
Measures 220 × 220 × 47 mm and can be placed on a desk or mounted to a wall or DIN rail using included brackets.

- EAN810177163633
- Works with all UniFi Protect cameras—HD, 2K, and 4K models—up to the specified stream limits.
- Integrates with UniFi Protect, UniFi Access, and UniFi Connect management applications.
- Manages up to 50 UniFi Access hubs for door access and identity verification.
- Requires connection to a Gateway or Layer 3 switch via its single GbE uplink port for network access; cannot operate as a standalone network device.
- The single uplink port limits bandwidth for large camera counts; high-resolution multi-camera installs may saturate a standard GbE uplink.
Best for
- Small offices or retail locations running 4–6 UniFi Protect cameras
- Deployments where a single integrated switch and viewport reduce cabling and equipment clutter
- Access control integrations using UniFi Access with up to 50 managed hubs
- Existing UniFi network installations seeking a minimal-footprint NVR appliance
Trade-offs
- Large camera deployments: limited to 6 simultaneous 4K streams; larger installations require a higher-tier NVR.
- High-bandwidth recording: single GbE uplink becomes a bottleneck when recording all supported 4K cameras at once.
- Expansion or redundancy: single 3.5" bay and no secondary storage mean no built-in failover or growth path without external solutions.
- Standalone networks: requires a Gateway or Layer 3 switch upstream; cannot function in isolation.
- High-power hard drives: 11W max power budget may limit drive selection to lower-power models.
