£190 is awesome, I was thinking about upgrading my Uniview NVR as it doesn't support H265 - this seems ideal.Just realised, I'll be short by 8mm for this to fit in the rack. I'll make it fit somehow. £190 for it is a decent price point too.

Same but I’ve had mine for ages so it’s by the by.Wish I hadn't bought an UNVR now.
Still, those four packs will do nicely for the practices that we still need to wire up.
It’s perfect for a home set up.

Ditto, wish I hadn't used it and just sold it instead, but there we are. I should have just stayed on the Cloud Gateway for longer.
Cameras in use
2 x 4K
1 x 2k
1 x HD
I was hoping they brought out a 1 or 2 drive NVR
Semi tempted to sell the NVR off
I expect we'll see a desktop NAS next

Hmm kinda interest. I am tempted to:
- Replace Dream Machine SE with Cloud Gateway Fibre (smaller device for under tv cabinet)
- Move existing NVR drive to a UNVR Instant and replace a small POE switch I have driving cameras
Saying that, just spent a wedge on 10Gbit + Wifi 7 upgrades so I'll wait a bit while

Yeah am tempted to try selling the UNVR and seeing what I get for it to just buy an instant. I dont need the cameras at home.
We'll be buying 3 of these kits for the practices though for sure.
Yeah I am aware of that unit, Although was hanging fire to see if anything else came about. I could go down the second hand route with one of them. 5TB would be plenty for 2 x 2K cameras and a doorbell.
Personally, given the price of the instant and the premium for a 2.5” drive over a 3.5” drive, I’d just get the instant and benefit from the additional POE etc.
There are not any NAS/CCTV specific 2.5” drives either.
Having slept on it, I’m not sure I’d bother.
The instant is cheaper but it’s got a pretty low limit on how many 4K cameras it can support and all G6 cameras are 4K.
By the time you have sold the UNVR and obtained the instant, I’m not sure you’d saved any cash. The POE might be handy but if you need a POE switch for other things like access points, you probably can’t shrink that either.
This is true, I actually have a 4TB 3.5" drive in my current HikVision setup so can swap that into the instant.
Yes. Someone was comparing buying the individual parts, as apposed to buying the kit.
Edit - Ubiquiti must have updated the price for the E.U store, as the reporter was saying that the kit cost was €700. But looking at it now; it's around €650.

The FAQ on the store page says:
"Does the Network Video Recorder Instant support third-party cameras?
Yes, the Network Video Recorder Instant supports seamless integration with ONVIF-compliant third-party cameras, allowing smooth and easy migration of existing security systems to UniFi Protect."
POE budget of 40W though.
