The main purpose of the Cloud Key is to host the UniFi controller. The UniFi controller is how you manage & monitor your UniFi devices. However, the controller doesn't have to be running 24/7. That's only needed if you want monitoring, statistics etc.
The Cloud Key 2+ is a combo device that adds NVR capability. They used to sell a Cloud Key 2 w/o NVR support.
I have a gen 1 Cloud Key. I used to have it running 24/7 but now only power it up when I need to make a change, upgrade firmware etc. Though the Cloud Key gen 1 is now osbolsete and no longers gets controller updates. So I'm going to migrate my controller either to my PC or Synology.

I believe it also needs to be running for wireless uplink (mesh) to work for some reason. Unless that has changed recently.
