There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I use one of these for my home deployment of 5 WAPs, 6 cameras and 3 UniFi Talk phones as well, and it has been rock solid.
The CloudKey can manage a few of UniFi's product lines, including: Wireless (Network), Cameras (Protect), Phones (Talk), Access Control (Access), Multimedia Displays (Connect) and Deployment Visualization (Innerspace). There is a lot to be said about all of these technologies, but I will focus on the CloudKey for this review.
The CloudKey is a small, simple to install management and storage device. It comes with all of the software you need installed and can be provisioned easily via a web browser or a cell phone app using Bluetooth. Once provisioned and added UniFi Site Manager, web based management is possible from anywhere and free! Overall it is a great little device and will continue to be my preferred management method for my UniFi deployments, but because there is a hard drive in them and a lithium-ion battery, I put them on a 5 year replacement schedule for my deployments.
PROS:
Small, inexpensive and simple to deploy
Intuit screen for a quick glance to see WAP and Camera status
1TB HDD included (replaceable) for NVR storage and backups
Lithium-ion battery for safe shut down in case of power failure
Free management from anywhere via web browser or cell phone app
Automated Cloud backups
Configurable notifications (via UniFi Site Manager) for all applications
CONS:
Lithium-ion battery is not user replaceable
HDD is replaceable, but is a spinning drive with a limited lifetime.
No power supply included (These are PoE powered but can also be powered via USB-C with a QC 2.0/3.0 adapter)
It is my own fault really, I've been hosting my software on a standard workstation that has no battery backup and wasn't using a server grade operating system so everytime the power goes out I get locked out lol.
The cloud key has a small battery to power down after power loss and can be accessed from anywhere on any device in your network instead of being forced to use just one machine and if it has never powered down.
It does have the option to install additional software which includes unifi protect preinstalled but isnt needed if you dont have the cameras that cost an arm and a leg.
Uses standard 2.5" hard disk, can install whatever you want in that bay when it comes to storage for the optional cctv software.
Overall, the device makes the unifi equipment more user friendly for the average Joe like myself and I encourage you to get one for your unifi network because it just makes your life easier!
I did some research and found that the battery issue is common. I opened up the device and uninstalled the battery which had swollen to twice its size. The device is not intended to be service. It was also running VERY warm. It uses the chassis as a passive heatsink. I had mine in a rack with the optional rack accessory for home use and was being powered by a POE UniFi switch. I decided to try a few troubleshooting techniques and while i had it apart i drilled some holes in to the aluminum for airflow. I decided to replace the HDD with an SSD. This helped stability but not a full fix. I then unplugged it from the POE switch and powered it via USB-C. This didn't have much change. Finally I had an extra POE injector and used that for power. This had the best outcome and was able to get another year out the device. It finally quit turning on early this year and bought a new unit.
I would much rather replace the device every few years than pay a SAS model monthly fee like others. I just would have liked to have known (which is impossible) that this device is not intended to be as robust as i needed it to be. I'm using all their enterprise gear (gateway & switches) but there was no other option to get cloud access besides getting a Dream Machine. And that device didn't have the features or power i needed.
So i the end, if i have to pay $200 every 3 years is still cheaper than paying 10-20 a month for a worse product like EnGenius, then I'm still happy.
