Still Running Old Analog Cameras or Outdated IP Systems? 

 

Legacy analog cameras and older low-resolution IP cameras can leave gaps in coverage, produce grainy footage, and lack the smart features needed to protect your business today. Modern surveillance should be clear, intelligent, and centrally managed — not a collection of “one-off” feeds and DVRs. 

 

That’s why GCS now exclusively uses UniFi Protect for all our camera deployments. UniFi Protect offers a unified, scalable, and feature-rich video surveillance platform that works seamlessly within your network and grows with your needs. 

 

What UniFi Protect Is 

 

UniFi Protect is a modern video surveillance platform designed to replace outdated CCTV systems with a professional-grade, centralized, and highly capable solution. It runs locally or on your UniFi infrastructure, giving you full control of your video data without mandatory cloud fees.   

 

Key Benefits of UniFi Protect 

  • High-definition video with crisp detail for both indoor and outdoor environments 

  • Centralized management through the UniFi Protect app or web console 

  • Remote access — watch live feeds or review recordings from anywhere 

  • Local storage — retain footage on your own network, not someone else’s cloud 

  • No per-camera licensing fees 

  • Scalable from small offices to large multi-camera systems   

 

Powerful Features You’ll Love

UniFi Protect includes advanced smart detection features that make surveillance more meaningful: 

  • Person and vehicle detection 

  • Facial recognition 

  • License plate logging 

  • Audio classification

Local Recording & Retention 

 

Protect stores footage locally on your UniFi OS Console, Cloud Key, or Network Video Recorder (NVR). You decide how long recordings are kept and how they’re accessed — there’s no enforced cloud storage model or ongoing fees.

Long-Term Cost Efficiency 

 

Once installed, there are no recurring licensing costs for the cameras themselves — just the hardware and storage you choose.
