I have enabled a few machines as unmanaged dectors. Do i also need to install the sep firewall component on the unmanaged detectors?
Is this Really necessary?

it is necessary as it add more security. However the end user should be aware to manager the firewall rules. On unamnaged client end user will fine tune the firewall rules as this computer do not report to SEPM to get the policy/content.

Hello,
In order to act as an unmanaged detector, SEP clients must have Network Threat Protection (NTP) enabled and be in Computer Mode. User Mode clients or clients without the firewall component (NTP) cannot act as unmanaged detectors.
To configure the client as an unmanaged detector, you must do the following actions:

As Mithun says, you have to enable NTP or, to put it more precisely, you need to install the UD with a packet with enabled NTP. But that doesn't mean you need to use the NTP components (firewall/IPS). It's possible to withdraw the Firewall and IPS policies in the UD group .
