Dream Machine Pro Max
UDM-Pro-Max€539 excl. VAT
Dream Machine Pro Max is a rack-mounted UniFi gateway without Wi-Fi, with drive bays, SFP+ ports and a screen on the front.
Who it suits
Suits offices and businesses with a larger network, many UniFi devices or a camera installation, where the gateway should also be the recorder for UniFi Protect. It mounts in a 19-inch rack and is the router and firewall of the network. The gateway has no PoE output, so access points and cameras need a PoE switch.

| Notes | Two 3.5-inch drive bays, for example for UniFi Protect recordings. | Has no Wi-Fi and no PoE output, so access points need a PoE switch or a PoE injector. Has a bay for one 3.5-inch hard drive for Protect recordings. | Eight ports provide PoE (six PoE and two PoE+), with a total budget of 180 W. | Two 3.5-inch drive bays (RAID 1) for storage such as camera recordings. | Two hot-swappable power supplies (2 × 150 W) and Shadow Mode provide redundancy; a second EFG can take over on failure. | Dual hot-swappable power supplies and a swappable fan. |
