Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen 2 UCK-G2 Network Controller 32GB PoE Display Wty

Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen 2 (UCK-G2)

The Ubiquiti UCK-G2 is a self-hosted UniFi Network and Protect controller in a compact, PoE-powered device — backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty. Run your entire UniFi network and camera system locally without a cloud subscription, with 32GB eMMC storage and a built-in 1.3-inch status display.

Key Benefits

• Self-Hosted Controller: Runs UniFi Network and UniFi Protect applications locally — full control of your network and cameras without relying on a cloud subscription.
• 32GB eMMC Storage: Onboard storage provides ample capacity for UniFi Network configuration, client history, and Protect camera recordings.
• PoE Powered: A single Ethernet cable from a PoE switch provides both network and power — simple installation with minimal cabling.
• 1.3-Inch LCD Status Display: Built-in screen shows IP address, storage usage, and system health at a glance without logging into the controller.
• Data Privacy: Self-hosted means your network configuration and camera footage stays on your premises — no data transmitted to third-party cloud servers.
• Compact Form Factor: Small enough to mount in a patch panel, comms cabinet, or server room without occupying rack space.

Performance in Use

For small to medium UniFi deployments, the UCK-G2 is the ideal controller — purpose-built hardware running both UniFi Network and UniFi Protect locally, without the complexity of setting up a VM or NAS. Simply power it via PoE, let it boot, and log in through your browser. All UniFi devices on the network are adopted and managed from the UCK-G2's locally hosted controller interface.

The 32GB eMMC storage holds network configuration and Protect camera recordings. For camera-heavy deployments, Protect can be configured to write footage to an attached USB drive or network storage, extending capacity beyond the built-in storage. The 1.3-inch front LCD shows the device's IP address and status — handy during setup or troubleshooting without needing a laptop.

For businesses with data privacy requirements — particularly healthcare, legal, or financial environments — the UCK-G2's fully local operation means network topology and camera footage never leave the building. The controller remains accessible on the local network even during internet outages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a cloud account to use the UCK-G2?

No. The UCK-G2 operates entirely locally. A Ubiquiti account is optional (for remote access via cloud relay), but the controller functions fully on your local network without any cloud dependency.

What applications does the UCK-G2 run?

The UCK-G2 runs UniFi Network (for managing UniFi routers, switches, and access points) and UniFi Protect (for managing UniFi cameras). Both run simultaneously on the device.

Can I expand the storage beyond 32GB?

Yes. The USB 3.0 port allows connecting an external USB drive for additional Protect camera recording storage. Network-attached storage is also supported in newer Protect firmware versions.

What is the difference between the UCK-G2 and UCK-G2-PLUS?

The UCK-G2-PLUS includes a built-in 1TB hard drive, internal battery for graceful shutdown, and higher camera capacity. The UCK-G2 (this device) suits smaller Protect deployments using external USB storage.

What are the shipping costs?
