Same summary

The UBIQUITI UNVR-Instant video recorder is suitable for users who want to have greater control and flexibility in video surveillance at home or in small business premises. Support for up to 6 PoE channels allows the system to be upgraded according to needs, so the product is particularly suitable for those who plan to gradually expand or already have cameras installed. High resolution and HDMI output provide a clear view of what is happening, and users will appreciate the ability to centrally store recordings for later review. It is less suitable for beginners who are looking for a quick and easy start-up of the entire system in one step, as the recorder requires the selection of compatible cameras and a few more settings.
