Notes from the field
Real jobs around London and Southwestern Ontario — how we approached them, what we installed, and honest costs. Photographed by us on site.
UniFi Gate Intercom and Access Control for a Sarnia Lakeside Home — And What It Cost
A custom lakeside home near a busy beach needed a secure, recorded front gate. We designed a UniFi G3 Intercom, Door Hub Mini and 1,200 lb maglock into the gate as it was built — integrated with Control4. Here's how, and what it cost.
Active Deterrence vs. Passive Monitoring: Why Manufacturing Facilities Need Both
Passive cameras record the break-in; active deterrence prevents it. How we covered a South London manufacturing facility's full perimeter with 6 Hikvision panoramic cameras with strobe and siren — for about $8,000.
How We Installed a Security Camera System in a 100-Year-Old London Ontario Home — And What It Cost
Solid brick walls, no attic access, a detached garage with an EV charger — and still a clean, full-perimeter UniFi Protect system in a single day. Here's how, and what it cost.
What a Proper Small Office Network Actually Looks Like
We pulled the inherited mess and built it right — 12 Cat6 drops, a labelled patch panel, U7 Pro XG WiFi, and an IQ4 alarm. Here's what a proper office network looks like, and what it cost.
How We Secured a Multi-Building Construction Site in Ilderton, Ontario
Multiple buildings, an active work site, no trenching. Point-to-point wireless radios and local PoE tied 8 cameras into one UniFi Protect system with licence-plate logging.
