Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Max (UCG-Max) – Compact 2.5G Gateway & NVR
The Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Max (UCG-Max) is a multi-application UniFi gateway designed for high-density home networks, branch offices, and medium-scale commercial installations. Featuring five 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports, it delivers ultra-fast Multi-Gigabit internet connections and local high-bandwidth traffic routing without bottlenecking modern fiber speeds.
Despite its minimal desktop footprint, the UCG-Max hosts the complete UniFi Application Suite natively. Beyond managing your switches and access points via UniFi Network, it acts as a fully-featured Network Video Recorder (NVR) for UniFi Protect IP cameras using its internal NVMe SSD slot. The front-facing 0.96″ LCM display provides instant at-a-glance system health, IP details, and network stats.
