I have ubiquity cameras around my property and they work great. I initially had just a UVC-NVR but upgraded to the DreamMachine.

I had headaches at first because my DreamMachine's SATA port was faulty and had a poor connection to the HDD. I used 4 different HDD's to prove this, and getting Unifi support to agree with me was about impossible. They ended up giving me an RMA with a "yeah, buddy.. I'm suuuuure it's the SATA port." I had to pay to post the RMA for a machine that never actually worked.

The exchanged DreamMachine has been working quite well for over a year now though.

If I were to do it again I'd buy it from a reseller instead of directly from Ubiquity for better product support.

I live in a humid area and all my Ubiquiti cameras died within a year. If the NVR powered off without a shutdown mongo would get corrupted, losing all recording metadata. I could import videos but what a pain.

I went with Hikvision and wouldn’t look back.
