See Everything. Miss Nothing Pay No Monthly Fees.
We deploy UniFi Protect camera systems — enterprise-grade video surveillance with the features of expensive subscription-based platforms, but without the ongoing fees. Professionally designed, installed, and integrated with your existing network.
Better Than the Costco System. No Subscription Required.
Most businesses either overpay for enterprise systems with large recurring fees, or underbuy with consumer-grade equipment that doesn’t hold up. UniFi Protect sits in the sweet spot.
UniFi Protect
What we install
- 4K and HD cameras — indoor, outdoor, doorbell, and fisheye models
- Local NVR (Network Video Recorder) stores footage on-site — your data never leaves your building by default
- Footage can be backed up to a cloud source of your choice for off-site redundancy
- Motion detection, smart detection zones, and instant mobile alerts
- Live view and recorded playback from any device, anywhere
- Integrates natively with your Ubiquiti network infrastructure
- Zero monthly subscription fees — you own the system outright
- Managed and monitored as part of your IT environment
Consumer Systems (Costco, Amazon, etc.)
- 4K and HD cameras — indoor, outdoor, doorbell, and fisheye models
- Limited remote management and no IT integration
- Cloud storage often required — ongoing fees to store your own footage
- No central management across multiple locations
- You're on your own for setup, troubleshooting, and support
Enterprise VMS Platforms (Avigilon, Milestone, etc.)
- Excellent software — but high upfront hardware cost
- Annual software license renewal fees
- Often overkill for businesses under 50 employees
Your Footage. Your Building. Your Control.
UniFi Protect is built around local storage — here’s how the data flow works and why that’s a feature, not a limitation.
Cameras Record Locally
UniFi Protect cameras write footage directly to a local NVR (Network Video Recorder) on your premises. Footage is stored efficiently — far more days of retention per terabyte than most consumer systems.
Optional Cloud Backup
Need off-site redundancy? Footage can be backed up to a cloud storage source of your choice. You control where it goes, how long it’s kept, and who has access — no vendor lock-in.
View From Anywhere
The UniFi Protect app gives you live view and recorded footage playback from any phone, tablet, or browser. Motion alerts, smart detection zones, and two-way audio on supported models.
Integrated With Your Network
Because we use Ubiquiti throughout, your cameras, switches, and access points are all managed from one platform. No siloed systems, no compatibility headaches.
Access Control
Pair your camera system with UniFi Access for keycard and mobile-credential door control. See who entered, when, and from which door — all in the same interface as your cameras.
Managed & Supported
Your surveillance system is part of your managed IT environment. We monitor it, update it, and troubleshoot it. One number to call — no separate security vendor to deal with.
The Real Cost of "Free" Cloud Camera Systems
Many camera systems advertise a low upfront price — then charge $10–30 per camera per month to actually access your own footage. On a 10-camera system that’s $1,200–$3,600 per year, every year, forever. The subscription never ends and the price rarely goes down.
UniFi Protect has no per-camera fees and no subscription. You pay for the hardware once. The NVR stores footage locally at a fraction of the per-camera cloud cost. Over three to five years, the total cost of ownership is significantly lower — with better reliability and more control.
- No per-camera monthly fees — ever
- No footage held hostage behind a paywall
- No vendor price increases on your storage plan
- Hardware you own outright — no lease, no lock-in
$0
Monthly subscription fees for UniFi Protect. Your footage is stored on your own NVR — you own it and access it without paying ongoing fees.
3–5yr
Typical break-even point vs. subscription-based systems — after which UniFi Protect has already paid for itself and continues saving money every month.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is UniFi Protect and why do you use it?
UniFi Protect is Ubiquiti’s professional surveillance platform — a system of cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), and management software used by businesses worldwide. We use it because it delivers enterprise-grade features (4K recording, smart detection, remote access, access control integration) without the monthly subscription fees that most camera platforms charge. Your footage stays on your own hardware, on your premises.
Do UniFi Protect cameras require a monthly subscription?
No. This is one of the biggest advantages over most consumer and business camera systems. You pay for the hardware once. Footage is stored on a local NVR — there are no per-camera fees and no subscription required to view or access your recordings. You own the system outright.
Is UniFi Protect better than a system from Costco or Amazon?
For a business environment, yes. Consumer systems are designed for home use — they’re not built for 24/7 continuous recording, have limited remote management, and often require cloud subscriptions to access footage. UniFi Protect is designed for business: it integrates with your IT network, is centrally managed, has no ongoing fees, and is supported as part of your broader IT environment.
Where is the camera footage stored?
Footage is stored locally on a UniFi NVR (Network Video Recorder) on your premises. This keeps your data under your control and eliminates monthly cloud storage fees. For off-site redundancy, footage can be backed up to a cloud storage source of your choice — you decide where and how long.
Can I view my cameras remotely from my phone?
Yes. The UniFi Protect app lets you view live footage and recorded video from any smartphone, tablet, or browser. You can also set up motion alerts, review events, and manage camera settings remotely.
