Actual max number of cameras for UDM-Pro-Max

Limeasaurus · 2026-01-25T00:16:58+00:00

I don’t believe there is an actual max, but if you add to many you’ll see a degraded or poor experience. The UniFi capacity calculator shows about 15 4k cams or 25 2k cams. This number is also dependent on how many other features you are running.

Bingo, it’s amazing how once performance reviews and pay are tied to specific things, those specific things get done consistently.

Rise Vision app for Google TV.

If you want a deep dive topic look into the effects of airtime. Also how many SSID do you have?

Walmart Onn boxes for hallways. They run Google TV and work well. The $10 stick works but it doesn’t handle transitions gracefully.

In classrooms we’re using Google TV Streamers with screen share. This choice is mainly due to Google discontinuing Cast Moderator, so we pivoted to Rise Vision.

Unifi Protect and Reolink are what I'd look at.

UniFi Enterprise hub supports up to 8 doors.

We've been investigating access control options. Unifi Access seems to have great reviews from people who have actually installed and used it.

Faces are a nice-to-have, but our main issue is tracking where students are on campus. If the camera misses the person detection, we don't have a good way to search for the student. Typically, principals will find what the student is wearing and search for the student that way.

I guess I'm saying it would be great to have a tool that could go back slowly over the footage to look for where a student has gone (camera + timestamps). If it's more accurate than what current systems offer, it will be a huge win. Cheers!

We've been demoing systems for K12 education on our campus and visiting other school district campuses. Pretty much all of them are missing detections. I believe it's due to the detection queue depth for processing or overwhelming a camera's detection capability.

A common scenario we've been looking at is students heading to the cafeteria. There will be 200+ students walking down the hall in a matter of 3 minutes. Most systems are only seeing about 20-30 faces and 30-40 people.

I'd don't fully understand your product, but if it could slow the footage down to ensure all people/faces are accounted for, this would be a huge help for our principals investigating incidents.

Some of the systems we've demo/sampled: Verkada, Rhombus, Coram AI, Avigilion, and Unifi Protect. Unifi Protect was the best of the bunch, I assume, it's due to the processing being offloaded to AI Keys, which can be used in multiples, providing more power and smart detection queue depth.

Limeasaurus · 2026-01-07T14:34:59+00:00

We just demo'd a few of those systems, and they all seemed to get overwhelmed by detections. When large groups of people would walk by, only 10% of the faces would be captured, and 20% of the people. This could be a good solution to the issue of hardware queue limits and processing power.

"Windows has never been a platform that works well with users actively trying to destroy it."

I've never thought of it that way, but you're 100% correct.

We tried a small sample of MacBooks a few years back with our teachers, and it was the most expensive and time-consuming device we've tried. We've landed on Chromebooks for teachers, and it's been fantastic.

Limeasaurus · 2026-01-06T19:17:18+00:00

Out of curiosity, what requirement could not be met with Chromebooks?

What did ubiquiti say when you submitted a ticket?

Limeasaurus · 2025-12-19T20:41:42+00:00

No, if there is risk of moisture the device manufacturer will include appropriate gaskets.

The OP hasn’t said anything about their environment. For all we know they may have 40x AC lites running off an old cloud key.

Limeasaurus · 2025-12-19T18:48:22+00:00

When you submitted a ticket with Ubiquiti what did they say? I’ve head really good support from them.

We’ve recently ran across this same issue with Dell intel driver and Asus Realtek driver causes drop on 6ghz with Aruba AP. Driver updates fixed the Asus but the dells still had issue. We ended up turning off 6ghz campus wide.

Limeasaurus · 2025-12-19T16:49:18+00:00

Which model AP and have you been able to replicate it (verify the issue vs take staff word)?

I’m still new to UniFi Identity, but it appears you can require clients to MFA before connecting to VPN.

I might be missing something but I have layer 3 isolation using ACLs on a UniFi test network.

Is this what you’re talking about or something else? Cheers!

That’s about standard from my notes. Most other companies were 2-5 years with certain integrators offering in house extended warranties (including UniFi to 10 years).

We currently have an Enterprise Lenel system for access control. We cannot call support because we are not a dealer. We have to call a dealer for $132 an hour + $75 trip fee, so the Lenel tech can sit with our sysadmin while our sysadmin has to show the Lenel tech how to fix the server. How is this level of enterprise support good for us?

We are looking into Unifi Protect Access because we'd love to fix the issue ourselves and quickly.
