Networking
A reliable network is the foundation of every modern security system. IP cameras, access control panels, intercoms, and cloud management platforms all depend on properly designed switching, routing, and wireless infrastructure. Underperforming networks cause camera dropouts, access control delays, and intercom failures.

Gateways
UniFi Cloud Gateways serve as the central routing, firewall, and management hub for UniFi network deployments. They provide the controller software needed to configure switches, access points, VLANs, and traffic policies from a single dashboard — critical for security system networks where reliable, segmented connectivity is essential..
Switches
PoE (Power over Ethernet) switches are the workhorses of security system networks — they deliver both data connectivity and electrical power to IP cameras, access control panels, intercoms, and access points over standard Ethernet cabling. Choosing the right switch depends on the number of devices, total PoE power budget, management features needed, and rack or closet space available..
Access Points
Wireless access points provide Wi-Fi coverage for mobile devices, wireless cameras, tablets, and credential-based systems throughout a building. In security system deployments, access points also support wireless intercom connectivity, mobile credential readers, and management app access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you use UniFi for security networking?
UniFi offers enterprise-grade features — VLANs, PoE budgets, centralized management, and traffic monitoring — at a practical price point for small-to-midsize commercial projects. It gives us the network visibility and control needed to keep security systems running reliably.
Can security cameras run on a shared office network?
We strongly recommend separating security traffic onto dedicated VLANs. Cameras generate continuous high-bandwidth streams that can overwhelm shared office networks and create security vulnerabilities if not properly segmented.
