Why choose Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Machine Pro Max
- 5 Gbps IDS/IPS provides full traffic inspection even on very fast business connections
- Two hard drive bays plus an integrated SSD make it a genuine NVR for up to 50 cameras

PC & HiFi Örebro recommends
We recommend Dream Machine Pro Max when the installation is large, when camera surveillance is expected to grow or when the internet connection is faster than a standard Dream Machine Pro can inspect. Its main strength is the combination of 5 Gbps IDS/IPS, dual hard drive bays and 2.5 GbE on the WAN side. Keep in mind that the hard drives are purchased separately and that the ports do not provide PoE – a PoE switch is required for access points and cameras. If you have a smaller network with fewer than around twenty devices and a 1 Gbit/s internet connection, Dream Machine Pro or Cloud Gateway Max is a significantly more cost-effective choice.
