UniFi NAS & Storage

UniFi NAS & Business Network Storage

Ubiquiti's UniFi NAS line brings network storage into the same ecosystem as your network and cameras. We configure storage for shared business files and backups, set permissions, and integrate it cleanly with your UniFi network.

What's included

Every engagement is scoped to your site, but this is the work typically involved.

  • UniFi NAS selection and drive configuration
  • Shared folders and user or group permissions
  • Storage network placement and access restrictions
  • Backup destination planning
  • Protect NVR storage sizing for camera systems
  • Drive health monitoring and replacement guidance
  • Documentation of storage layout and access

How we approach it

Separate file storage from camera storage

Camera recordings and business files have different needs. We size and configure each so one doesn't crowd out the other.

Permissions that match your team

Shared folders are organized by department or role, with access granted to groups rather than individuals.

Plan for drive failure

Drives eventually fail. We configure redundancy and monitoring, and recommend an off-site backup strategy for critical data.

Equipment and scope

Supported UniFi products

UniFi NAS (UNAS) devices managed with UniFi Drive, and storage in UniFi NVRs and consoles for UniFi Protect.

Third-party equipment

Third-party NAS devices, cloud storage platforms, and backup software are outside our configuration scope, though we can plan network access for them.

Common for

  • Professional Offices
  • Medical & Dental Offices
  • Commercial Property Management
  • Warehouses & Industrial Buildings

UniFi NAS & Storage FAQ

Is a NAS a backup?

A NAS with drive redundancy protects against a single drive failure, but it isn't a complete backup. Critical data should also be copied to a separate location, such as an off-site or cloud backup.

Can UniFi NAS store camera recordings?

UniFi Protect records to UniFi NVRs and compatible UniFi OS consoles. We size Protect storage separately from general file storage so each meets its requirements.

Can staff access files remotely?

Remote access can be provided securely, typically through VPN, so files aren't exposed directly to the internet.
