How to Get Alerted the Moment Ubiquiti Launches a New Product

July 8, 20265 min read

Restocks are not the only ui.com event worth catching. Ubiquiti regularly adds brand-new products — sometimes as full launches, sometimes as quiet "Early Access" drops — with no email, no press release, and no heads-up. By the time a new UniFi gateway or camera shows up on Reddit, early stock is often already gone.

The trick is to stop thinking about a single product page and start monitoring the pages where new products appear: ui.com category pages.

Restock Alerts vs Launch Alerts

A restock alert watches one known product and tells you when it flips from sold out to available. A launch alert is different — you do not yet know the product's URL, because it does not exist. What you can watch is the category or collection page that a new product will be listed on. When Ubiquiti adds a new switch, access point, or camera, that page's content changes — and that change is your signal.

This is where monitoring any change to a page, not just a specific stock badge, pays off. UIPing compares the full content of a page between checks, so a newly added product tile shows up as a detected change.

Which Pages to Monitor

  • Category pages — the switching, wireless, gateway, and camera category pages on store.ui.com are where new SKUs first appear
  • Collection pages — Ubiquiti sometimes groups fresh releases into collection pages worth watching
  • Early Access — if you have access, the Early Access area is where products surface before general availability
  • A product line you follow — watching the whole gateway lineup catches successors like a new Dream Wall or Express variant the day they drop

Step-by-Step Setup

  1. Create your accountsign up at UIPing; a free monitor is enough to watch one category page
  2. Add category page URLs from store.ui.com rather than a single product page
  3. Use "any change" detection so a newly listed product registers, not just a stock flip on an existing item
  4. Enable fast notifications — email is on every plan; paid plans add ntfy, Discord, Slack, and Home Assistant, and check more often so you are earlier

Why Being Early Matters

New Ubiquiti products — especially popular categories like WiFi 7 access points or Protect cameras — often ship in small initial batches. The people who catch the launch in the first hour get one; everyone else waits for the first restock. Monitoring the right category page turns "I saw it on Reddit a day late" into "I already ordered."

Go Broader Than One Product

Watching category pages is the same technique that catches price changes and restocks across an entire product line at once. Instead of guessing which exact SKU to track, monitor the page where everything in that category lives.
