Hi

Would like to introduce to you some stuff that you may need during your renovations

Network Cable - Cat5e/Cat6 (305 meters / per box)


Faceplate - Cat5e Single/Dual, Cat6 Angled Type Single/Dual


PoE Splitter - (provide network and power via network cable up to 20meter)


Indoor/Outdoor Super WiFi Access Point - (WiFi with Smart Antenna Technology, can be used indoor and pointing AP to garden/guard house for bigger area coverage)


Wireless-N High Power Extender - (extend the wireless signal of your Unifi/Maxis WiFi router)




HomePlug 600Mbps Powerline AV/AV2 Adapter with AC Pass Through / Gigabit LAN Port


HomePlug 500Mbps Powerline AV/AV2 Adapter with Wireless-N 300Mbps Access Point and Dual LAN Port

3rd picture is PoE (Power Over Ethernet) Splitter.
It enables you to power up and network your device via single lan cable.
I have added a picture in first post to show the connection.
If you already have network port faceplate at certain location but do not have a power socket, use this method and place the power adapter of your device at the router location so all your device power adapter will be centralized.

No you dont need.

Camera;s Power Adapter and LAN cable from router > PoE > LAN Cable > PoE > Camera
See the picture in first post (will try to take a clearer picture)

PM D.

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

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.

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.

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)

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.

Hi

If you have already laid cat6 cable might as well use cat6 keystone/faceplate. the face plate use angle type.
- more ports better than one unless you are going to use a switch.
- use faceplate not just connector. its weird for contractor to recommend it.
- after installation ask contractor to test using cable tester to make sure all 8 wires are working. you might need to use all the 8 wires for poe purpose in future.


As for the performance argued here, you might also need to check the below to get best performance
- connection from faceplate to end device which type of cable used
- end device using 10/100 or gigabit port
- router using 10/100 or gigabit port

yes it require a pair to work.

Sometimes during laying the cables some of the wires might be broken due to force and quality of cable. Lan cable consist of 8 wires in 4 pairs.


So better to check all wires in the cable are working by using simple tester. Contractor should have the basic ones.

Not all 3-phase can be used for HomePlug. Pls consult your wireman on the wiring of your 3-phase.
