Understanding the UNV Range

UNV kit is split into three clear categories: Easy, Prime, and Pro. That makes it simple to pick the gear that fits your job — and the best bit is, all the cameras and recorders work together, no matter which series you choose. So, to get started, all you really need to know is which cameras suit your site and which recorder matches your needs.

Cameras Built for Real-World Security

UNV network cameras are designed to make life easier for installers and end users alike. Every camera in the range is PoE powered, ONVIF compatible, and fully IP67 weatherproof, so you can fit them anywhere and know they’ll last.

Whatever the job, UNV network cameras are built to be reliable, easy to install, and tough enough for any environment including anti-vandal domes for IK10-rated protection against tampering, and PTZ cameras for full visual control — all easily managed through UNV’s apps. The range also includes cost-effective smart dual light cameras for everyday jobs, but the real standouts are:

Flexible, Powerful Recorders, Built for Any Job

UNV recorders are split into Easy PoE, Prime IQ, and Pro series, so you can pick the right fit for any job.

EASY PoE Recorders spot-on for homes and small businesses, with ultra motion detection and up to 8MP camera support.

PRIME IQ PoE Recorders ideal for business, retail, and high-end projects, offering face detection, smart intrusion prevention, and handling cameras up to 16MP.

PRO Non PoE recorders built for large-scale and commercial sites, supporting cameras up to 32MP and massive channel capacity — up to 128 as standard, with bespoke models available for nearly unlimited scalability.

All recorders can be managed through UNV Cloud or the Uniease app, and you can mix and match them however you need to build a fully custom, integrated system. Easy PoE models have standard event search, while Prime and Pro step up with smart AI search features like Acusearch, Acutrack, and even SeekFree text prompt searching on selected models. Easy and Prime recorders handle up to 16 channels, while Pro takes care of the big jobs with room to grow.
UNV recorders give you the flexibility to build the system you want, with smart features and reliable performance, all managed from wherever you need.
