Has anyone installed a system?

I have a USG, 2 switches and In-Wall AP running at home with the controller on AWS.

I also manage a switch and 2 APs for someone else as well.

Is having uni-fi for a home overkill?

Nope, its mostly low to mid end gear.

I have about 80 of their ap’s deployed accross 3 sites.
Using their switches and gateways too.

Made the move over to unifi about 5 years ago at this stage. Almost zero hassle in comparison to other hardware over the years.

Use their cctv products (20 odd cameras and a couple of dvr’s) in place at another location too.
Again. Very straight forward and again almost no issues.

Feel free to ask any questions. Pretty familiar with their stuff at this stage! Except the phones

Apologies for the hi-jack.. just didn't want a new thread for a similar question.

Hey guys, could I ask who ye ordered your stuff from?

Looking at putting in a fairly decent order. 2 24POE Switches, couple of USG, AP, etc

Thanks

I’ve used 4Gon.co.uk, Amazon or Eurodk.com for ordering kit. Open to suggestions on Irish suppliers but in my own experience the prices haven’t been as competitive

EuroDK seem to be the most reasonable so far...

I've learned to not underestimate the advantages of buying from local stores where possible. The small premium is worth it when things go wrong.

Have you any recommendations?

Mr. G

Usually these come with EU plugs so make sure to check that you're getting a UK plug.

I learned the hard way. Ubiquiti gear is pretty good, compatible with mobile devices. Some other stuff I've found doesn't work out of the box with Apple devices for example

Looking like going with eurodk, seems to be the most reasonable when all considered.
