You can choose to use homeplug and no hacking required
Or just add a network switch and lay network cables.

Hi, I have unifi and would like to have 1 point on ground floor and 3 points (1 in each room on 1st floor). How much will it cost?

Also, what is homeplug?

Maybe you have missed this, can you help me with this?

Sorry for the late reply. If you already have network cable, you just need power socket at the location of the camera. if you dont have then you can use the PoE splitter method.

I dont have power socket at the location of the camera, only network cable, if 4 cameras around the house then I have to put 1 or 4 camera's power adapter?

Hope this diagram can help to explain the homeplug.

Every camera requires a power adapter so you need 4 adapters. better if you can provide a simple diagram of your house and the location of camera, power sockets and unifi device.

can pm me the best price for the poe spliter ? tq.
is so hard to get a cheap poe camera nowday.

hi can pm me how much 2 boxes of the network cables cost and at least 6 points. Thanks

Anyone know how much a Cynics POE (CNC 4230) camera costs? Can you get it at Low Yat Plaza? Was quoted RM 600 from a supplier so just want to dbl check the pricing.
Thanks

For the home plug, i can use the power cable as an ethernet cable? and will the speed be effected?

PM me pricing for

Network Cable - Cat5e/Cat6 (305 meters / per box)
Faceplate - Cat5e Single/Dual, Cat6 Angled Type Single/Dual

Hi

Sorry for the late reply.
Homeplug or Powerline is using power/electrical cable to transfer the network data.
Speed will depend on the quality of cable, noise, distance,etc

Assume the environment is good you could get up to 100-150mbps throughput (same circuit)

I got the same quote too, and its from a Low Yat supplier. I have engaged him for upgrading my existing alarm system

Will it work in 3-phase power supply?! Because each power socket may be connected to different phase wire...

Hi

The homeplug needs a physical connection same as using LAN cable.
If the different phases are not connected or there are no link between one link to another, then there will not be a connection.
Bear in mind also when using homeplug best to use in same circuit to get the best throughput or performance. Link between different
circuit will add noise to the link and performance will go down.

From my earlier testing, homeplug connection speed are bad when the distance go longer, and more equipment are sharing the same live wires. Worse if your neighbor using another homeplug (on the same live wires). Sometime can even drop to 10Mbps. I also encounter putting two cheap LED driver, and the homeplug speed became unstable.

Maybe newer homeplug have improvement over the noise.

I just spend ~rm150-200 for wireless N network and my whole house can get connection, no wire mess.

For small throughput maybe 10Mbps or less, wireless are good, but if want to run few high throughput connection say few Media player playing from a NAS storage wireless may not be good.

If house are under renovation, is good to wired it. I have 11 LAN points, 5 for LAN, remaining for future CCTV.

I have the same thought as you. I am going to have 16 LAN port running through out the house. Another good option is to run 802.11AC router which will give you around 500mbps transfer rate (theoretically)
