For most systems, we install the CloudKey Gen 2 Plus. You'll need to login to your existing UniFi NVR to get the camera management password, otherwise you'll have to factory reset each camera in order to migrate them. I use this new system in a ton of deployments and it works really well. The clips playback in a timeline rather than each individual clip so viewing and playback are much improved. Good luck! https://store.ui.com/collections/unifi-protect/products/unifi-cloudk...

I'll second this suggestion.  When they introduced Protect a few years ago its functionality was limited and I didn't like it.  It has matured to the point where it is very stable and works great.  I migrated a few systems last week and will do a few more in the near future.   Cloud Key Gen 2 Plus can be had for $200 and handle 20 cameras.  It includes a 2tb hard drive that can be upgraded to 5.  Migration is easy.  Backup the NVR system, install the CK, restore the backup file.  I even did one remotely on a network that had the CK previously installed.

FYI.....I've had way fewer issues with Protect than I had with Unifi Video.  The Cloud connection is much more reliable.
