We understand that most people want a system that’s easy to use and very reliable. This is especially true when it comes to systems as important as their home internet and the surveillance system monitoring their home.
In a space that’s constantly evolving like home technology, we are regularly evaluating evolving products. Sometimes, products we recommend change in ways that make us reevaluate if it’s still the best option for our customers. Lately, we have found that Ubiquiti offers a user-friendly surveillance and network system that is as easy to use as it is reliable.
The Magic Ingredient: Vertical Integration
Previously, we would mix and match solutions to build people a robust network and surveillance system. We would use brand A for the switches and core networking, we’d use brand B for the access points, and brand C for the cameras themselves. Ubiquiti has products that cover everything you need for your network and cameras. Since they provide the products at every aspect, they all integrate together. It means setup is easy and you have apps to manage your network and surveillance systems.
Ubiquiti Surveillance: Simple and Secure
While competing systems such as Amazon’s Ring and Google’s Nest products require a subscription and internet connection to remain online, Ubiquiti’s system has no such requirements.
Ubiquiti cameras avoid both of these negative qualities by recording to an on-property recorder called an NVR. This means it works through internet outages (or internet connection sabotages). Additionally, the footage of your home doesn’t get processed by any third parties. That means, unlike other options, no one else has access to your surveillance footage, making it safe and secure.
Ubiquiti Internet: Built For Any Size
The vast selection of network equipment makes building a network simple. You can have one access point, or 15. Whatever is necessary to give you full coverage throughout your property, Ubiquiti has you covered. The ceiling mount and wall mount also mean you can sneakily mount the access points wherever is most convenient. Because it integrates with the rest of Ubiquiti’s network hardware, they are easy to set up and make sure it all seamlessly appears as one dependable network.
The Ubiquiti App: Industry Leading
While competitors such as Nest and Ring are close, Ubiquiti’s app suite are among the easiest on the market. The app allows you to easily see all your cameras, save footage and more. There is even a section to quickly see when there was a person or vehicle passing by one of your cameras.
One Caveat: The Success Happens at the Beginning
While the Ubiquiti system can be reliable, the success of the system is all in the design and initial setup. There are dozens of different cameras to choose from. There’s also an equally overwhelming number of access points available. It’s easy to get lost in all the networking switches and “cloud key” hardware. Selecting more cameras and more access points will draw more power, and require compatible switches that can appropriately power all the hardware your home needs.
