What is Ubiquiti UniFi?

What it is

Ubiquiti is the company, and UniFi is its product line for networking. A UniFi network is built from separate devices, such as switches that connect wired equipment and access points that provide Wi-Fi. All of them are adopted into a single management application.

From that one screen an administrator can see every connected device, change Wi-Fi settings, update firmware and watch traffic. UniFi Protect is the part of the line that records and displays video from UniFi cameras.

What businesses use it for

• Wi-Fi coverage: several access points share one network name, and devices hand over from one to the next as people walk through a building.
• Wired connections: switches link computers, printers and phones, and many models can power devices over the network cable.
• Cameras: UniFi Protect records video from cameras and lets staff review it in an app or browser.
• One place to manage it all: settings and updates for the whole network are handled in one console instead of device by device.

How KawaConnect uses Ubiquiti

We install Ubiquiti UniFi switches, Wi-Fi access points and UniFi Protect cameras for offices, shops and homes. We plan where access points should go, lay out the cabling and switch ports, and set up separate network segments so guests and cameras stay apart from business computers.

Where a site needs a stronger firewall, we pair UniFi with OPNsense. Cameras sit on their own segment, and remote viewing goes through a VPN rather than open ports. More detail is on our business network and Wi-Fi service and camera installations pages.
