If you missed the recent UniFi Friday Deals, here’s your second chance. Ubiquiti today announces its second discount event of the year, the UniFi Holiday Sale, featuring 30 UniFi devices at excellent prices. Most of these devices weren’t part of the previous sale.
Still, like the previous one, this sale event also includes hardware for multiple applications, spanning UniFi Cloud Gateways (a.k.a. “routers”), access points, PoE switches, and security cameras.
Ubiquiti UniFi Holiday Sale: Everything you need to start a UniFi network
Generally, the UniFi ecosystem starts with a UniFi Cloud Gateway, which is a UniFi console that acts as the router of your network. After that, you can add more UniFi devices, such as switches, Wi-Fi access points, and security cameras, to expand the network or enhance the system’s functionality.
UniFi console in a nutshell
A UniFi console always runs the UniFi OS plus one or more UniFi applications, with Network being the most significant—it’s the primary app.
However, not every UniFi console is equipped with this app, and those that do are called UniFi “Cloud Gateways” (UCGs), including the UniFi “Dream” series, such as Dream Machine (UDM) or Dream Wall (UDW)—they are all UniFi “routers” if you prefer to call them that way.
A few UCGs have just this Network app—they are Network-only UniFi consoles. Most UCGs can host additional applications to qualify as a multi-app, Network UniFi consoles.
All Network UniFi consoles share the same basic features and settings. However, their capacities—specifically the number, breadth, and depth of UniFi applications they can handle simultaneously—vary 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”. This app handles all network-related aspects, including security, firewall, access points, Wi-Fi system management, and much 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”—per Ubiquiti. Examples include door-related security IoT devices, such as doorbells, key fobs, locks, etc.
- 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 console—it’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 deliver their intended purposes.
Below are the top devices that represent those available during this sale event among UniFi hardware I’ve reviewed. You’ll find the complete list of discounted devices underneath.

Among the applications supported by the UniFi ecosystem, the Protect app is an excellent addition to the Network app. It provides a robust surveillance system when hosting the cameras mentioned above. If you’re into that, below are the top five UniFi Network Recorders (UNVRs) powered by Protect. Note that most UniFi Network consoles (a.k.a. UniFi Cloud Gateways, or “routers”) have a built-in UNVR.
On the other hand, if you’re interested in getting one of the UniFi Wi-Fi access points, here are the top five UniFi Network consoles (a.k.a. UniFi Cloud Gateways) that make excellent hosts for them.
Happy shopping!
Ubiquiti says this UniFi Holiday Sale event will last until the end of the day on December 19 (Pacific time). Get yours today before the time runs out.
