UniFi Specialists

UniFi, done properly.

Wi-Fi, cameras, intercom and access — one platform, no subscriptions, installed by Melbourne's UniFi specialists.

Our favourite platform. By a distance.

Ubiquiti UniFi is the backbone of nearly every system we install. Enterprise-grade networking, cameras, intercom and door access — all managed from one interface, all owned outright, with no monthly fees on any of it.

We design UniFi systems the way the platform is meant to be used: every device hardwired on Cat6, powered over PoE, terminated at a proper rack with a UPS. Not a router on a bench and a prayer. The result is a network that disappears — it just works, for years.

Homes, offices, warehouses. Four cameras or forty. The platform scales, and so do we.

How a UniFi system fits together

One platform, five layers.

01 · The brain

UniFi Cloud Gateway / Dream Machine

Routing, firewall, VPN, and the recorder for every Protect camera on the property. One box, one login, no monthly fees. We size it to the property — a Cloud Gateway for most homes, a Dream Machine Pro with 10G networking for larger installs.

02 · The spine

PoE switching

Every access point, camera, intercom and touchscreen runs on a single Cat6 cable carrying both power and data back to the rack. Managed PoE switches let us monitor, restart and prioritise every device on the network remotely.

03 · The coverage

Wi-Fi 7 access points

Ceiling-mounted, hardwired access points placed for real coverage — not hopeful mesh nodes on shelves. Every AP is wired, so full speed reaches every corner of the home instead of degrading hop by hop.

04 · The eyes

UniFi Protect cameras

G5 and G6 cameras with AI detections that actually work — people, vehicles, packages. Footage records to your own hardware. Nothing goes to the cloud unless you choose it, and there is no subscription. Ever.

05 · The front door

Intercom & access

UniFi intercoms ring straight through to your phone, with an optional wall-mounted viewer inside. Door strikes, keypads and readers integrate into the same platform — see, speak, unlock from anywhere.

A real install

What a full UniFi home actually looks like.

A recent single-storey four-bedroom build in Melbourne's south-east. Whole-home Wi-Fi 7, eight cameras, video intercom with an internal viewer, all running from one rack in the garage. Installed, programmed and handed over in full working order.

The access point truth nobody tells you.

Every Wi-Fi generation gets faster. What the box doesn't say: the higher the speed, the shorter the distance it survives. The frequencies that carry Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7's headline numbers don't punch through walls the way old, slow Wi-Fi did.

So the honest answer to “how many access points do I need?” keeps going up. A home that got by with two APs a decade ago needs four today. A larger home that had four may genuinely need eight to deliver full speed in every room.

We design coverage from the floor plan — walls, construction materials, where you actually sit — and wire every AP. That's the difference between Wi-Fi that tests well next to the router and Wi-Fi that works in the back bedroom.

Go deeper.
