✔ Pros:Integrated UniFi Network controller; 1 Gbps routing with IDS/IPS enabled; compact and efficient design; 2.5 GbE WAN port for high-speed internet ingest.
✘ Cons:Internal switch lacks PoE support; no built-in Wi-Fi (requires external APs); LAN ports are limited to 1 GbE, creating a bottleneck for single-client 2.5 Gbps WAN speeds.
✔ Pros:Industry-leading 5 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput for its price point; Dual 3.5" NVR bays with RAID support; 2.5 GbE and 10G SFP+ WAN options; Shadow Mode for high availability.
✘ Cons:The 8-port integrated switch lacks PoE support; Most LAN ports are limited to 1 GbE throughput.
