UniFi console in a nutshell
A UniFi console always runs UniFi OS plus one or more UniFi applications, with Network being the most significantβthe primary app.
However, not every UniFi console is equipped with this app. Network-enabled UniFi consoles are called “UniFi Cloud Gateways” (UCGs) and include the UniFi Dream series, such as Dream Machine (UDM) or Dream Wall (UDW)βall of which are UniFi “routers” if you prefer to call them that way.
A few UCGs have just this Network appβthey are Network-only UniFi consoles. Most UCGs can host additional applications to qualify as a multi-app, Network UniFi consoles.
All UniFi Cloud Gateways (a.k.a. Network-enabled UniFi consoles) share the same basic features and settings. However, their capacitiesβspecifically the number, breadth, and depth of UniFi applications they can handle simultaneouslyβvary depending on the hardware specifications.
The following are the current UniFi applications, with the first six belonging to the original UniFi Application Suite:
- Network (primary): This application enables the hardware to function as an advanced router, thereby qualifying it as a “UniFi Cloud Gateway” (UCG). This app handles all network-related aspects, including security, firewalls, access points, Wi-Fi system management, and more. On a UCG, the Network app is the default and can’t be uninstalled.
- Protect: The support for IP cameras as an advanced surveillance system, including a built-in UniFi Network Video Recorder (UNVR) of a UniFi console. Protect is the default app of a standalone UNVR. Generally, a standalone UNVR is a multi-app, non-Network console that can also host the Access and InnerSpace applications, but it’s often classified as a “Protect-only UniFi console”.
- Talk: A locally hosted Voice-over-IP system.
- Access: A “platform designed for Access Control Systems”βper Ubiquiti. Examples include door-related security IoT devices such as doorbells, key fobs, and locks.
- Connect: Application that manages digital signage and EV Stations
- InnerSpace: A visualization tool that allows users to map out their UniFi network by uploading floor plans, drawing walls, etc., for the deployment of UniFi devices.
- Drive: The latest app that turns a UniFi console into a UniFi network-attached storage (NAS) server, known as a UNAS. Generally, a UNAS server is a single-app non-Network UniFi consoleβit’s a “Drive-only UniFi console”.
Each of these applications is a world in itself, with various in-depth customizations, and some require UniFi devices to function as intended.
As mentioned, in addition to offering a robust network, Ubiquiti’s UniFi also provides one of the best security solutions through its Protect app. If you’re into that, below are the top five UniFi Network Recorders (UNVRs) that work with all of the security cameras listed above, with discounted pricing. Note that most UniFi Network consoles (a.k.a. UniFi Cloud Gateways, or “routers”) have a built-in UNVR.

Hey Dong,
Great find!
It looks like the UXG-Fiber is a stripped down version of the UCG-Fiber. They look similar but it doesn’t look like the UXG has external SSD storage options or the UniFi application suite capabilities.
Interesting as they’re priced similarly normally.
Almost grabbed it until I see the subtle differences.
Yeap, the UXG is a controller, you’ll the CloudKey+ to use it. More here.
