Your whole property.Connected by UniFi.

Yes. The SmartHome Co. is a Marietta-based technology integrator serving homes and small businesses across Metro Atlanta. We design and install UniFi Network, Protect, and Access systems, with the cabling, configuration, testing, and user walkthrough defined in your proposal. We can also assess an existing UniFi system for upgrades or troubleshooting.

The cost depends on the network design and the work needed to install it. Access points, gateway and switch capacity, cable routes, camera storage, and any door-access hardware all affect the proposal. We review your property and existing equipment, then define the hardware, installation, configuration, and testing included in your project.

Square footage alone cannot determine the right number. Floors, wall materials, device locations, mounting positions, and outdoor coverage all matter. We use the floor plan and a review of the property to plan placement, then check coverage after installation. Adding more access points without a design can create interference instead of solving weak coverage.

UniFi can be a good fit when you need wired access points, more control over the network, or room to expand. A well-placed mesh system may be sufficient for a simpler space. UniFi also supports wireless meshing, but wired connections between access points and the network are generally preferable when cable routes are practical.

Yes. UniFi manages the network inside your property; it does not replace your internet service. We review the provider equipment and connection requirements before deciding what stays in place and how the UniFi gateway connects. Better Wi-Fi coverage also cannot increase the speed of the internet plan you purchase.

The core self-hosted UniFi Network, Protect, and Access applications do not require per-device software licenses. Hardware, internet service, installation, and any paid hosting, optional subscriptions, or support services are separate costs. We identify recurring charges in the proposal so you can compare the full cost of ownership.

Wired PoE cameras are often a good fit for fixed locations where cable routes are practical: Ethernet carries both power and data, so the camera connection does not depend on Wi-Fi coverage. Wi-Fi cameras can suit locations where new cabling is difficult, but still need suitable power and a reliable wireless connection. Recording location and subscription costs depend on the chosen system. We assess your property before recommending either approach.

A local Protect system can keep recording during an internet outage when its cameras and recorder remain connected on the same local network and have power. Remote viewing may be unavailable. A power outage is different: the cameras, network equipment, and recorder need suitable backup power to keep operating.

There is no single retention period for every system. Camera count, recording quality, recording mode, available storage, and retention settings determine how much footage is kept. We start with the number of days you want to retain, size the recorder and storage, and review the resulting retention estimate once the cameras are running.

Often, some equipment can be retained. We first review the models, software, administrator access, cable condition, available power, and the performance problem you want to solve. That assessment determines what can stay and what needs replacing. Any migration or downtime should be planned before changes begin.

Consider Protect when local recording, wired camera coverage, and an expandable system are priorities. Consider the cable routes, recorder, storage, and installation work as part of the change. Ring may still suit a smaller doorbell or camera project. We compare your actual coverage and recording needs before recommending a platform.

Sometimes, but compatibility depends on the door, lock, wiring, power, and entry requirements. A reader alone does not make an existing lock compatible. We review the opening and proposed access hardware, including how people enter and exit, before defining the integration scope and any work needed from other trades.

Yes, a suitable design can separate guests, business equipment, and connected home devices using networks and access rules. Devices that need to discover or control each other still need the correct permissions. We plan those connections and test the intended functions so separation does not accidentally break printing, audio, or other everyday tasks.

Yes. The SmartHome Co. provides Cat6 cabling as part of scoped networking and camera projects in Marietta and Metro Atlanta. We review cable paths, mounting locations, access conditions, and the equipment they will serve. Your proposal identifies the cable work and any access or finish work that needs separate coordination.
