Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus, SKU UCK-G2-SSD, is in stock at Mascom International for KSh 50,000, brand new and sealed with a 1TB solid-state drive already fitted. This edition replaces the hard disk of the earlier version with an SSD, so it runs silently and has no spinning parts to wear out. The Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus carries an octa-core Arm Cortex-A53 chip, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC system memory, and it draws power over a single PoE network cable. You can see it at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for IT managers, security installers and business owners across Kenya, the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus hosts UniFi Protect, Network, Access, Talk and Connect on one device. The usual problem is a recorder tied to a cloud plan, with footage held on a server you never see. Here, recordings from up to 24 HD cameras sit on the 1TB drive inside your own office, with no monthly camera fee. A pharmacy in Kilimani, a hardware store in Industrial Area or a school office in Nakuru can check live feeds from the UniFi app on a phone, even from Mombasa.
Unlike many electronics retailers in Kenya that list UniFi consoles without explaining them, Mascom International will tell you whether you need this unit or the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra, which we also stock. At Mascom International, we're seeing more Nairobi offices move CCTV and Wi-Fi onto one UniFi system to cut separate logins and contracts. Customers across Nairobi tell us the local, fee-free recording is what won them over. Walk into our Kimathi Street shop to see the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus running, or order the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus with pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus
How much is the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus UCK-G2-SSD in Kenya?
The Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus UCK-G2-SSD costs KSh 50,000 brand new at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the console with its 1TB SSD installed and a 12-month warranty through Mascom International. It does not include a PoE switch or injector, so budget for one if your network has none. The Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra costs KSh 27,000 less at KSh 23,000, but it does a different job, explained below. Delivery is pay-on-arrival anywhere in Kenya.
Should I buy the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus or the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra?
Buy the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus when camera recording matters most, and the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra when you need a router. The gateway, at KSh 23,000, connects to your fibre line, routes traffic, screens threats and runs UniFi Network, but it has no drive bay for footage. The Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus does no routing; it sits behind your existing router and adds UniFi Protect with 1TB of recording space. Many Kenyan offices run both, one as the gateway and one for cameras.
Will the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus keep recording during KPLC power cuts?
The Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus keeps recording through a KPLC outage only while its PoE source and your cameras stay powered. The console peaks at 9.6W, so a small UPS feeding your PoE switch can carry it alongside the cameras. Because it uses an SSD, a sudden shutdown puts less strain on storage than the spinning disk in older recorders. It also accepts USB-C power from a 9V, 2A Quick Charge adapter. Tell us your camera count and we will help you size a UPS.
How many cameras can the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus handle?
The Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus manages up to 24 HD cameras, 14 2K cameras or 8 4K cameras in UniFi Protect. Higher resolutions need more processing and storage per camera, which is why the count falls as quality rises. It also supports up to 80 UniFi Access hubs for door control. A typical Nairobi shop or clinic with six to ten 2K cameras has room to add more later. A large compound covered by many 4K cameras should look at Ubiquiti's bigger rack-mounted recorders instead.
Can I upgrade the 1TB SSD in the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus?
Yes, the 1TB drive in the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus is a standard 2.5-inch SATA SSD that Ubiquiti lists as user-upgradeable. How many days of footage 1TB holds depends on camera count, resolution and whether you record nonstop or only on motion. Motion-only recording stretches the same drive much further. When you add cameras or need a longer history for insurance or HR reviews, you can fit a larger 2.5-inch drive. We can advise on a compatible drive when you visit.
Where should I install the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus in a hot or humid building?
Place the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus indoors in a room that stays between 0 and 35°C. Ubiquiti rates it for 20 to 80% noncondensing humidity, which matters in coastal towns like Mombasa, Kilifi and Malindi. A ventilated network cabinet or a shelf in an air-conditioned office works well. Avoid tin-roof ceiling spaces, which bake in the afternoon heat. The aluminium body sheds warmth, but dust from roadside offices builds up, so wipe the vents during routine checks.
Who should buy the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus, and who should skip it?
Buy the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus if you run UniFi cameras or plan to, and want footage stored on your own premises with no subscription. It suits shops, clinics, schools, small hotels and estate offices. Skip it if you only need internet routing and Wi-Fi control; the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra handles that for less. Skip it too if your cameras are a non-UniFi brand already tied to another recorder, since UniFi Protect is built around Ubiquiti's own cameras.
Do I need internet to use the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus?
The Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus records to its own drive, so footage keeps saving when your Safaricom, Zuku or Airtel fibre drops. You need internet only to view cameras remotely or receive alerts on your phone. Setup runs over Ethernet or Bluetooth through the UniFi app, so you can configure it before the network is ready. The front screen shows its IP address and status, which saves hunting for it on a busy network. No cloud recording plan is required.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- Dedicated UniFi OS console — a small server that runs UniFi applications on-site, so footage and settings stay in your building
- Hosts UniFi Protect video recording — saves CCTV footage from UniFi cameras onto the internal drive with no monthly cloud fee
- Camera capacity of 24 HD, 14 2K or 8 4K cameras — enough for most shops, clinics and small offices on one site
- Manages up to 80 UniFi Access hubs — controls door locks and staff entry from the same dashboard as your cameras
- Runs UniFi Network for switches and access points — one place to see every Wi-Fi point, switch port and connected device
- No routing function — it sits behind your existing router or UniFi gateway rather than replacing it
Hardware and Storage
- Octa-core Arm Cortex-A53 based chip — eight low-power processor cores share the work of recording several camera streams at once
- 3GB of RAM — working memory that keeps Protect, Network and other applications running side by side without stalling
- 32GB eMMC system memory — a built-in flash chip that holds the operating system and apps, separate from your footage
- 1TB 2.5-inch SATA SSD pre-installed — a solid-state drive with no moving parts, so it runs silently and handles knocks better
- User-upgradeable drive bay — swap in a larger 2.5-inch SATA drive later when you add cameras or want longer history
- On-site footage storage — recordings stay available when your internet line drops, since nothing depends on a cloud server
Ports and Power
- One Gigabit RJ45 port — a single network socket carrying data at up to 1,000Mbps, plenty for multi-camera playback
- PoE powered — takes power and data through one Ethernet cable from a PoE switch or injector, so no wall socket is needed
- Optional USB-C power — accepts a Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0 adapter at 9V DC, 2A when no PoE source is available
- Peak draw of 9.6W — similar to a small LED bulb, so running it around the clock adds little to your electricity bill
- UPS-friendly — the low draw lets a modest UPS behind your PoE switch keep it alive through short outages
- Single-cable installation — one Ethernet run to a cabinet, shelf or desk is all the wiring it needs
Software and Management
- Supports Network, Protect, Access, Talk and Connect — Wi-Fi, cameras, door entry, VoIP phones and connected displays in one system
- Setup over Ethernet or Bluetooth — configure it from the UniFi mobile app nearby, even before it joins the network
- 1.42-inch grayscale OLED screen — shows the IP address and status on the front, so you rarely need to search for it
- Remote viewing through the UniFi app — watch live feeds and playback on your phone wherever you have mobile data
- NDAA compliant — meets US federal rules on surveillance hardware sourcing, a point some corporate and NGO procurement teams check
- Certified CE, FCC, IC and SRRC — passed safety and radio standards in Europe, the US, Canada and China
Build and Inclusions
- Anodised aluminium enclosure — a metal body that helps release heat and feels solid on a shelf or in a cabinet
- Compact desktop size of 131.2 x 27.1 x 134.2mm — about the footprint of a paperback, slim enough to stand anywhere
- Weight of 560g — light enough to sit on a shelf or inside a network cabinet without a dedicated tray
- Operating temperature of 0 to 35°C — keep it in an air-conditioned or ventilated room, not a hot ceiling space
- Operating humidity of 20 to 80% noncondensing — fine for indoor offices, but keep it away from damp walls and open windows
- Supplied with the 1TB SSD fitted — PoE switches, injectors and USB-C adapters are sold separately
Package Contents
The Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus arrives in its sealed Ubiquiti retail box with the 1TB SSD already installed in the drive bay, so there is nothing to fit before setup. You will need a PoE source to power it: a PoE switch you already own, or a PoE injector such as the Ubiquiti U-POE-AT PoE+ Adapter, which Mascom International sells separately at KSh 4,500. A USB-C Quick Charge adapter is an optional alternative. Our team can check the unit with you before you pay.
Warranty
The Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus ships with a 12-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Claims are handled at our service desk in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD; bring the unit and your receipt and our technicians will assess it.
