UniFi Dream Machine Pro Max: what it is & who it's for
The top of the rack line: 8 GB of memory, 5 Gbps of IPS, two 3.5" drive bays, and ratings for 200+ devices and 50 HD cameras. No PoE, so it assumes a switch beside it. Larger sites and multi-building networks where the camera count and device count outgrow a UDM-Pro.
