Manufacturer Contact Info

The Ubiquiti Dream Machine Special Edition is a rack-mountable UniFi cloud gateway with 3.5 Gbps IDS/IPS routing, built-in network management, and PoE switching; it suits small businesses and advanced home networks that need security, device control, and powered access points or other PoE devices in one appliance.

Recommended For

Homes or small offices already using UniFi—or planning a UniFi network—that want to manage their gateway, PoE-connected devices, security settings, and cameras from one console.
Home or small-business security-camera setups that want UniFi Protect recording in the gateway, with a separate hard drive added for longer video retention.
Network owners with several wired UniFi access points, cameras, or other PoE devices who want gateway and PoE switching in one rack-mounted unit.
Network administrators who want features such as VLAN-based segmentation, IDS/IPS, VPN, or dual-WAN failover managed through UniFi rather than assembled from separate networking products.
