Scalable and Future-Proof. Seamless Multi-Site Visibility

Easily scale as your business grows — add cameras or upgrade hardware without replacing your core system or retraining staff. UniFi lets you manage unlimited cameras and sites from one platform, eliminating multiple NVRs, complex logins, and costly license fees.

With DS Protect’s UniFi CCTV System, say goodbye to multiple NVRs and connecting to multiple sites to see your cameras.

Highly Customisable Alerts and Automation

UniFi Protect’s Alarm Manager and no-code automation let you create custom alerts — from triggering recordings when deliveries arrive to linking suspicious activity with other systems. Its unified, license-free platform combines analytics, motion triggers, and event rules to actively prevent incidents and protect assets.

This isn’t just surveillance — it’s a smarter, faster, always-on security partner.
