UniFi Systems — internet, WiFi & cameras on one platform
Your UniFi installer in Pretoria. One brand, one app for your whole property — we design, install and support complete Ubiquiti UniFi systems — networking, WiFi, CCTV, access, intercom and alarm — that work together properly.
- Since 2008 in security installation
- No monthly camera or licence fees
- Records through load shedding · footage stays on-site
One platform underneath everything
Ubiquiti built UniFi so networking, WiFi, cameras, gates and intercoms all run on the same hardware and software. Combine them and every part gets simpler, faster and cheaper to own.
The brain
A UniFi console — often the Dream Machine — is your router, firewall and camera recorder in one box, running the free apps that manage the whole system.
The backbone
PoE switches carry data and power to every camera, access point and gate device down a single cable. Clean, tidy, easy to fault-find.
The coverage
WiFi 6 / WiFi 7 access points blanket the house, yard and cottage in one seamless network — same name, no dead zones.
The edge
4K cameras, doorbells, gate readers, intercoms and alarm sensors — all adopting into the same system, all in one app.
The Dream Machine — the heart of the network
Get the gateway right and the whole property inherits a fast, secure, self-managing network.
Router, firewall, switch & camera recorder — in one
A UniFi Dream Machine replaces your ISP's flimsy router with business-grade hardware: it manages the internet line, protects the network with an enterprise firewall, and — on Pro models — records your cameras internally on a surveillance-grade drive.
- Enterprise firewall & a private network for your cameras
- Built-in UniFi Protect recorder on Dream Machine Pro models
- Dual-internet & LTE/5G failover for when the fibre drops
- Remote management — we support your system without a site visit
UniFi Dream Machine · gateway + recorderWiFi 6 vs WiFi 7 — and the right access point
"WiFi problems" are rarely the fibre — they're the wrong access point in the wrong place. UniFi's professional APs wire back to the switch and work as one seamless network from the lounge to the pool to the cottage.
| What matters to you | WiFi 6 Value | WiFi 7 Latest |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Everyday browsing, streaming, work-from-home | Busy homes, many devices, 4K/8K, future-proofing |
| Speed & capacity | Fast, handles a full household | Much higher throughput & more simultaneous devices |
| Device-heavy homes | Good | Excellent — extra 6 GHz band clears the traffic jam |
| Our recommendation | Great value where budget is tight | The default we spec on new work |
Ceiling mount
The default for open-plan living — even coverage, near-invisible.
Wall mount
For double-storey homes with no ceiling cable route.
In-wall
One neat unit per room — bedrooms, guest suites, B&B rooms.
Outdoor
Weatherproof cover for yard, pool deck, patio & driveway.
PoE switches — power and data down one cable
Every camera, access point, gate reader and doorbell needs both power and a network connection. A UniFi PoE switch delivers both over a single cable — no plug packs at each device, no mess in the roof.
- One cable per device — power + data, up to 100 m
- Sized with spare capacity for future cameras & APs
- Fibre uplinks for long runs to the gate or cottage
- Hardened outdoor switches for gatehouses & farm cabinets
UniFi PoE switch · power + data backbone4K cameras that record locally, with no monthly bill
UniFi Protect cameras are true 4K with on-device AI — they tell a person from a vehicle, read number plates at the gate, and search footage in seconds. No subscription, no cloud fees, footage stored on your property. See our full CCTV installation options.
Bullet
The outdoor workhorse — walls & eaves
Turret / Dome
Entrances, under eaves, indoors
PTZ
Pan, tilt & zoom over a big yard
Number-plate AI
Reads plates at the gate
No licence, no monthly fee
Recording, AI detection and remote viewing are free for the life of the system. Buy the hardware once and own it.
Footage stays yours
Records to a surveillance-grade drive in a locked cabinet on your property — not on someone else's server.
One app, anywhere
Live view and playback from your phone or laptop, free, with no port-forwarding.
Gates, doors and intercoms — on the same system
Grant access from your phone, see who's at the gate on the same app as your CCTV, and let the number-plate camera open the gate automatically. See our full access control page.
Answer the gate from anywhere
A UniFi intercom rings your phone wherever you are — see the visitor in video, talk to them, open the gate remotely. No handset on the wall, no monthly line rental.
- Video intercom to your phone & a guardhouse screen
- Smart entry by face, code, card, phone or plate recognition
- Gate & door hubs that keep working if the internet is down
- The gate reader doubles as a Protect camera — one device, two jobs
UniFi Access & Intercom · gate + doorA real alarm — on the very same system
UniFi Protect includes a full intrusion alarm — door, motion, glass-break and environmental sensors, sirens and a panic fob — on the same app as your cameras. The moment a sensor trips, the cameras react. Prefer a standalone alarm? See Ajax alarm systems.
Sensors that trigger your cameras
Open a door or trip a sensor and the nearest camera jumps to it, records in full quality and the PTZ swings across — while on-device AI checks whether it's really a person or vehicle, cutting false alarms.
- Wireless door, motion, glass-break, environmental & smoke/CO sensors
- 110 dB indoor & outdoor sirens and a panic key fob
- Arm & disarm from your phone, a fob, or on a schedule
- Outdoor perimeter beams & detectors brought into the same system via the UniFi relay
- Optional professional monitoring to signal an armed-response control room — no compulsory monthly fee

We plan your coverage before we drill a hole
Cheaper installers guess where the WiFi and cameras go, then hope. We build your property to scale in the UniFi Design Center and simulate exactly how the WiFi covers every room and how each camera sees — before anything is bought or mounted.
- WiFi coverage modelled room-by-room, allowing for brick & concrete
- Camera fields of view checked for blind spots & angles
- Cabling and equipment planned exactly — no surprises on site
- You see the design and know it's right before you commit
Why one UniFi installer in Pretoria beats juggling four brands
Four brands means four apps and four things that blame each other when something breaks. One platform means one system designed to work together.
Everything talks
Cameras, gates, WiFi, network and alarm — engineered by one company to run as one system.
One app to rule it
Your whole property from a single, genuinely good app. No juggling five logins.
No subscription trap
Network, Protect and Access run free forever. You pay us once, for the install.
Grows with you
Start with WiFi and a few cameras; add the gate, cottage or alarm later — same system.
Supported remotely
One managed platform means we fix most issues without a call-out fee.
Premium, not cheap
The same gear that runs offices, estates and hotels — built to last.
Designed to keep working when the power and fibre don't
Anyone can plug in cameras. Making them survive load shedding, lightning and a dead line at the gate is where experience since 2008 earns its keep.
Load shedding ready
Recorder, switch and fibre box on a properly-sized UPS — cameras and gate keep running through the outage.
Records without internet
UniFi Protect records fully offline. A gate camera on a dead line still captures everything.
Surge & lightning protection
Ethernet surge protection and proper earthing on every outdoor run — essential on the Highveld.
Long runs & outbuildings
Fibre for long runs and wireless bridges to reach the cottage, gate or farm outbuilding.
