UniFi Security Systems Perth
CCTV • Access Control • Intercoms • Wi-Fi — All in One Dashboard
Perth's UniFi Security Specialists
Ubiquiti's UniFi ecosystem is the only platform where your security cameras, access control, intercoms, and business Wi-Fi all run on a single operating system — managed from one dashboard, on-premise or remotely, with no ongoing software licensing fees.
Great White Security installs and programs the full UniFi stack across Perth. Whether you need a 10-camera CCTV system with 2-door access control, or a multi-site enterprise deployment spanning dozens of locations, we scope, supply, install, and commission everything.
Why the UniFi Ecosystem Wins
No Ongoing Licensing
Every feature — AI detection, license plate recognition, facial recognition, multi-site management — is included in the hardware price. No per-camera fees, no annual subscriptions, no surprise invoices.
Single Dashboard
One login to review camera footage, answer an intercom call, unlock a door, check Wi-Fi performance, and push a firmware update. No swivel-chair management between separate apps.
Local Processing
Video and AI analytics run on your on-site console — not a third-party cloud. Your footage stays on your network. Important for privacy compliance, data sovereignty, and sites with limited internet.
NDAA Compliant
Ubiquiti is a US-listed company (NYSE: UI). UniFi products are NDAA Section 889 compliant — suitable for government, defence contractors, critical infrastructure, and organisations with US procurement obligations.
Multi-Site at Scale
Site Manager and Vantage Point give you centralised visibility across unlimited locations. Manage a single office or a national retail network from the same browser tab.
Genuine AI — No Subscription
Person, vehicle, package, and animal detection built in. Add the AI Key appliance for license plate recognition and facial recognition. Full AI stack, zero per-camera licence fees.

NDAA Compliant Security for WA's Sensitive Sites
Section 889 of the US National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) prohibits the use of surveillance equipment from certain Chinese manufacturers on US federal projects. Australia's own procurement guidelines — particularly for defence-related and critical infrastructure work — increasingly mirror this position.
In 2023, Australian Commonwealth departments began removing affected camera brands from sensitive sites following Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) guidance. Defence contractors, council facilities, critical infrastructure operators, and organisations working on joint ADF/US projects need to ensure their security hardware is compliant.
UniFi Protect is NDAA compliant. Ubiquiti is NYSE-listed, headquartered in New York, and its products are not on the FCC Covered List of prohibited equipment.
Who needs to think about this in Perth:
- Defence industry contractors and subcontractors
- Local government and council facilities
- Critical infrastructure operators (ports, utilities, data centres)
- Schools and universities with government funding requirements
- Healthcare facilities under federal procurement guidelines
- Any organisation that may tender for US-affiliated contracts
Who UniFi Is Right For
🏢 Commercial & Office
Multi-floor offices where CCTV, door access, Wi-Fi, and intercom previously required four separate systems and four separate support vendors. UniFi collapses all of that into one.
🏛️ Government & Councils
Sites that require NDAA-compliant equipment, detailed audit trails, user access schedules, and centralised management across multiple buildings or campuses.
🛒 Retail & Hospitality
Multi-site operators who want to manage camera footage, door access schedules, and Wi-Fi infrastructure for every location from a single browser tab without per-site licensing charges.
🏗️ Education & Healthcare
Schools, universities, and medical facilities needing granular user access control, time-based door scheduling, integrated intercoms, and the audit trail required by compliance frameworks.
💻 MSPs & IT Companies
Managed service providers already deploying UniFi networks who need a licensed security trade partner to install and commission the physical security layer. We work alongside your team.
🏭 Industrial & Warehousing
Large sites needing perimeter cameras, gate intercoms, multi-door access control, and a reliable PoE network — all supported by one installer and one helpdesk call.

UniFi Security FAQs
What is the UniFi security ecosystem?
UniFi is Ubiquiti's enterprise-grade platform where cameras (UniFi Protect), access control (UniFi Access), intercoms, and Wi-Fi networking all run on one operating system — UniFi OS. You manage everything from a single dashboard, on-site or remotely, with no per-camera or per-door licensing fees.
Is UniFi NDAA compliant?
Yes. Ubiquiti is a US-listed company (NYSE: UI) and its products are not on the FCC Covered List of prohibited telecommunications equipment. UniFi Protect cameras and access control hardware meet NDAA Section 889 compliance requirements, making them suitable for government, defence-related, and critical infrastructure projects in Australia.
How much does a UniFi security system cost in Perth?
Costs depend on the scope: camera count, door count, NVR storage, network infrastructure needed, and cabling complexity. A typical small commercial deployment (8 cameras, 2-door access control) starts from around $8,000–$15,000 installed. Enterprise and multi-site systems scale considerably beyond this. Contact us for a site-specific quote.
Do I need ongoing software licences with UniFi?
No — this is one of UniFi's biggest selling points. There are no per-camera, per-door, or per-site licensing fees. AI detection, license plate recognition (with the AI Key appliance), facial recognition, and multi-site management are all included with the hardware. Compare this to enterprise VMS platforms where licensing can exceed the hardware cost.
Can UniFi manage multiple sites from one dashboard?
Yes. UniFi's Site Manager provides centralised management of cameras, access control, and network infrastructure across unlimited locations from a single browser-based interface. Vantage Point adds multi-NVR visibility for large camera deployments. Ideal for multi-site businesses, property managers, and government agencies.
Can UniFi integrate with my existing cameras?
UniFi Protect added limited ONVIF Profile S support, allowing third-party cameras to be viewed and recorded on the platform. The AI Port appliance can extend full AI detection to ONVIF cameras. However, native UniFi cameras (G4/G5/AI series) deliver the full feature set including smart detections, privacy zones, and deep integration with access control events.
Does UniFi work with alarm systems?
UniFi Protect includes an Alarm Manager feature for cross-app automations — cameras can trigger actions, send notifications, or activate outputs when events are detected. For traditional alarm panel integration (intrusion detection, monitored alarms), we can advise on how best to layer UniFi alongside a dedicated alarm system.
Is UniFi suitable for residential homes?
UniFi is primarily designed for commercial, government, and multi-site use. For most Perth homes, other camera and alarm brands offer a better cost-to-feature ratio at the residential scale. That said, UniFi can be a great fit for high-end homes, large rural properties, or tech-forward clients who want everything in one system. We'll advise honestly on the right fit for your situation.
We're an MSP — can you be our security trade partner?
Absolutely. We work alongside IT companies and managed service providers who deploy UniFi networks and need a licensed security installer to handle the physical security layer — CCTV, access control, intercoms, and alarm systems. We can operate alongside your team or under a white-label arrangement. Learn more about our MSP partnership model.
