Ubiquiti ENVR-Core 3U Network Video Recorder, 2.6 GHz, SATA HDD Support

The Ubiquiti ENVR-Core is a high-performance 3U rack-mount network video recorder engineered for demanding surveillance environments. Designed to integrate seamlessly into professional security infrastructures, this device provides robust video management and storage capabilities. With a powerful 2.6 GHz processor and support for high-resolution recording, it ensures that critical security footage is captured and stored with precision. The unit is built to handle large-scale deployments, offering reliable performance for organizations that require constant monitoring and high-bandwidth data processing.

Advantages

This network video recorder stands out due to its massive storage capacity, featuring 16 bays that accommodate both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch hard drives or solid-state drives. The inclusion of hot-swappable power supplies ensures continuous operation, minimizing the risk of downtime during critical security events. Its 10GbE connectivity provides the necessary throughput for high-resolution streams, supporting up to 300 4K cameras or 500 Full HD cameras simultaneously. The 3U rack-mount form factor allows for efficient space utilization in server rooms, while the optional storage expansion units offer scalability for growing surveillance needs.

Suitable for

• Large-scale enterprise security systems
• High-density surveillance environments requiring 4K resolution
• Data centers and professional server rooms
• Organizations needing long-term video retention

This device may not be suitable for small home offices or residential setups where the 3U rack-mount form factor is too large or where the high-capacity storage and processing power exceed the requirements of a basic security system. It is also not intended for environments lacking the necessary network infrastructure to support 10GbE connectivity.

Key specifications

• Maximum resolution: 3840 x 2160 pixels
• Processor frequency: 2.6 GHz
• Storage support: 16-bay for 2.5/3.5-inch HDDs/SSDs
• Connectivity: 10GbE Ethernet
• Rack capacity: 3U
• Power consumption: 237 W
• Supported recording modes: 1080p, 2160p, 4320p

To use the Ubiquiti ENVR-Core, install the unit into a standard 19-inch server rack. Insert your compatible hard drives or solid-state drives into the 16 available bays, ensuring they are properly seated. Connect the device to your network using the high-speed Ethernet port and connect the power supplies to a stable power source. Once powered on, access the management interface through the UniFi Protect software to configure your camera streams, storage settings, and recording schedules.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your server rack has 3U of available space
• Verify that your network infrastructure supports 10GbE speeds
• Check the compatibility of your hard drives or SSDs with the 16-bay system
• Assess the total number of cameras to ensure the system meets your capacity requirements

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and data integrity, it is recommended to use enterprise-grade hard drives designed for continuous 24/7 surveillance recording. Regularly check the status of the hot-swappable power supplies and monitor storage health through the UniFi Protect dashboard to prevent data loss.
