Recent home network upgrades and rack tidy up. Over the last few months I’ve replaced the switches I originally had in this rack with some new Ubiquiti UniFi switches. There is also a PoE switch in another room running some new UniFi WiFi 7 access points.

I also added UniFi Protect as an upgraded NVR for some cameras at the front of the house. They aren’t Ubiquiti cameras so I added UniFi AI Ports to get motion and object detection functionality. These are a little expensive but still cheaper than replacing the cameras. It works well and was pretty straightforward to set up.

I had never really been a fan of Ubiquiti equipment in the past but their current range of products had the ports and features I was looking for and, unlike some other brand products, they don’t rely on cloud management. Overall I’m pretty happy with it so far.
