Get a Free Pro Recommendation
At BUZY Networks, we're committed to helping you find the best Ubiquiti solution for your networking or surveillance needs. Through our distribution partnership, we have access to Ubiquiti-trained engineers who can model your project using professional tools and provide tailored product recommendations — completely free of charge.
Whether it's a handful of cameras around a home, whole-property WiFi coverage, a point-to-point link between buildings, or a larger commercial deployment, we're here to help you get it right the first time.
How It Works
You provide us with details about your site and what you're trying to achieve. We pass that information to our engineering team, who use tools like the
UniFi Design Centre to model camera coverage, WiFi heat maps, and equipment placement based on your actual floor plan or site map. They'll also use the
UniFi Capacity Calculator to make sure the console or gateway we recommend can handle your camera and application mix with room to grow.
We then come back to you with a recommendation, a coverage map, and a quote for the gear to match.
If you create a free UniFi account, we can even share the design project directly with you for your own viewing and editing.
Surveillance & Camera Projects
If you're planning a UniFi Protect camera deployment, here's what helps the engineers produce accurate coverage maps:
- Floor plans or site maps — architectural plans are strongly preferred, but a to-scale hand-drawn sketch with dimensions can also work. For outdoor areas, a Google Maps screenshot annotated with distances and structure locations is useful.
- Annotated coverage areas — mark or shade the areas you want each camera to cover. If you have a rough idea of the viewing angle or direction you'd want a camera pointed, sketch that in too. The more detail you give, the more accurate the result.
- Mounting context — let us know about mounting heights (e.g. single storey, two storey, under eaves), and any obstructions or problem areas you're trying to address.
- Camera preferences — if you already have a mix in mind (e.g. 4K for key areas, 2K for secondary coverage), let us know. If not, the engineers will recommend based on your coverage requirements. The Capacity Calculator is a great tool to explore how different camera mixes affect console resources and storage retention.
WiFi & Networking Projects
For WiFi coverage planning, access point placement, or general networking, the following details help us give you the best recommendation:
- Floor plans with dimensions — as with cameras, to-scale plans are ideal. Mark the areas where you need strong wireless coverage, and note any dead spots or problem areas in your current setup.
- Construction details — the materials used in walls, floors, and ceilings have a significant impact on wireless performance. Brick, concrete, and double-glazing all affect signal differently to timber framing and plasterboard.
- Current setup — tell us what you're currently running (make/model of router, ISP, any existing access points or switches) so we can recommend a path that works with or replaces your existing gear.
- Cabling availability — let us know if there are existing network cable runs to the areas where devices would be installed, or if cabling is not an option in certain locations.
Point-to-Point & Long-Range Links
For situations where you need to connect buildings or structures without running cable — for example, linking a house to a shed, a barn to an office, or bridging two sites across a property:
- Distance between points — even an approximate distance helps. For anything beyond 20–30 metres, a dedicated point-to-point (PtP) radio pair is typically required for a reliable connection.
- Line of sight — confirm whether there is a clear, unobstructed line of sight between the two points. PtP radios are usually mounted on poles or rooftops to achieve this. Please note that even occasional obstructions like tree branches can disrupt the signal — no manufacturer of any brand can guarantee consistent performance without a clear line.
- Site map or aerial screenshot — a Google Maps screenshot annotated with the locations of each structure and the intended link path is very helpful for the engineers.
Important Notes
As a supply-only reseller, we don't provide an on-site installation or design service. The recommendations we provide through our engineering partnership are exactly that — recommendations. They're based on the information you give us and modelled using professional tools, but the nature of radio-based networks means that a full professional site survey is the only way to guarantee an optimum result. That said, this free service puts you well on the right track to determining the right products for a successful outcome.
Privacy: The information you provide will be used solely to help us offer you the most effective recommendations and will be treated with the utmost confidentiality.
