UNIFI NETWORK
Keep the home connected.
Plan access points, wired office connections and guest access around how you use the house. Test the rooms that currently drop out, not just the spot beside the router.

UniFi installation by NeuroDesk
WiFi that reaches
where you live.
The laptop drops in the office. Your phone loses WiFi upstairs. Before buying another extender, find out what your home actually needs.
NeuroDesk designs and installs UniFi home networks around your rooms, wiring and daily routines. Plan compatible cameras and door access alongside the network, or start with WiFi alone.
Windsor and Essex County. Also serving London, Chatham and Southwestern Ontario.
FOLLOW THE CONNECTION
One network.
Different jobs.
Internet arrives at the home. Cables carry it to the right places. WiFi connects your phone and laptop. Cameras and door equipment are optional branches, not requirements for better WiFi.
01Internet service
Your provider's modem or fibre terminal.
Ethernet data
02Compatible gateway + controller
Routes traffic and runs network management. These may share one device.
Ethernet data
03PoE network switch
Sends data and power over Ethernet to compatible devices. Power capacity is planned for the selected hardware.
Data + power (PoE)
NETWORK
WiFi access points
Placed around the home to provide wireless coverage.
WiFi radio
Phones, laptops & compatible devicesData + power (PoE)
PROTECT · OPTIONAL
Wired cameras
Video travels over the network to a compatible Protect console or recorder with local storage.
No WiFi needed for this wired example.Data + power (PoE)
ACCESS · OPTIONAL
Access hub
Connects compatible readers and suitable door hardware. Lock wiring and power depend on the design.
Safe exit and door suitability come first.Management is separate from power.
Network, Protect and Access are related applications with their own compatible hardware and hosting requirements. A suitable console may host more than one; some projects use a separate recorder or controller. Management and camera video travel over the network. An app does not power a device.

UNIFI PROTECT
See what happened.
Choose camera views, local recording storage and who can watch or export clips. Plan privacy-conscious angles and retention instead of recording neighbouring spaces unnecessarily.
Explore home security →UNIFI ACCESS
Plan who can enter.
For suitable doors or gates, consider controlled entry with compatible readers, hubs and locks. We check the opening, safe exit and required specialist work before selecting equipment.
Explore access control →The network supports the smart home. It does not control everything.
Lights, shades and thermostats may use their own bridges, radios or wiring. UniFi is not a universal controller. We verify specific integrations with the systems you choose.

Find the weak spots before adding boxes.
Show us where calls drop, which rooms feel slow and what is already installed. We check the internet connection, existing cables and practical routes through finished spaces before proposing changes.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Questions homeowners ask.
Will UniFi fix my WiFi dead spots?
It can be part of the solution, but the design matters more than the logo. We check the incoming internet connection, wall materials, wiring and the rooms you use before choosing access-point locations. Coverage and speeds depend on the home, equipment and connected devices.
Can you use my existing wiring or internet provider?
We start by checking what is already there. Usable Ethernet cabling may be retained. Your provider's modem or fibre terminal and any TV or phone services affect the gateway setup. We confirm compatibility rather than assuming every provider device can be replaced.
Do the cameras use WiFi?
The cameras in the connection diagram use a network cable for both data and power, called Power over Ethernet or PoE. They do not rely on WiFi. Other camera models have different requirements, so the final equipment list and cabling plan are checked together.
Where are camera recordings stored?
UniFi Protect records locally on a compatible console or network video recorder with suitable storage. The storage choice, camera count, resolution and recording settings determine how far back you can look. We agree on a retention target and check actual playback. Cloud backup, if selected, is a separate choice.
Can I check the system when I am away?
Remote access requires a working internet connection, supported account access and secure configuration. We set up individual permissions and multi-factor authentication where supported. Local recording can continue during an internet outage if the local network, recorder and cameras remain powered. A power outage needs a separate backup-power plan.
Does UniFi control my lights, shades and thermostat?
No. The network is a foundation for connected systems, not a universal smart-home controller. Some devices use Ethernet or WiFi; others use dedicated bridges, radios or wiring. Lighting, shades and climate controls need their own compatible systems. We check each proposed integration before including it.
Can UniFi Access work on my front door or gate?
Only where the opening and hardware are suitable. Access needs compatible hubs, readers, locks and power arrangements. We review weather exposure, safe exit, fire-egress requirements and the work needed from door, electrical or gate specialists before recommending it. An existing lock, alarm panel or gate is not automatically compatible.
What happens after installation?
We walk you through the agreed functions, account ownership, network labels and documentation. You receive the support contact and the scope agreed for your project. Ongoing maintenance or monitoring is separately scoped, not assumed to be included forever.
