FAQ

Equipment Planning Questions

Helpful answers before rough-in, cabling, equipment placement, and final commissioning.

When should equipment planning be planned?

As early as possible, ideally before rough-in. Equipment choices should follow the design. We plan devices, port counts, PoE budget, storage, and support expectations around the finished property. Early planning helps avoid visible compromises, missed cabling, awkward equipment locations, and expensive changes later.

Can you work from plans before the building is finished?

Yes. We can review plans, identify technology requirements, mark up recommended locations, and coordinate with builders, low-voltage contractors, electricians, and owners before final installation.

What should be included in the plan?

The plan should account for gateway, switching, and poe planning, access point and camera counts, nvr and storage requirements, ups and power protection. The final scope depends on the property layout, construction phase, and long-term support needs.

Can you commission the system after construction?

Yes. After the cabling and spaces are ready, we can install, configure, test, label, document, and hand off the UniFi system so the planned infrastructure becomes a working network.
