This project involved upgrading a compact 6RU communications cabinet in a fully integrated smart home, improving performance, cooling, and centralised control.
🔧 Installed & Integrated
-
16-Port UniFi Pro Max Switch
-
UniFi Cloud Key Gen2+ managing the G6 Doorbell & Protect
-
Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant

-
UniFi Dream Router (UDR) gateway
-
3 x UniFi Access Points for full-home coverage
-
8 x CCTV cameras + NVR
-
HDMI-to-RF modulator distributing camera feeds to TVs
