Bro at least take me out to dinner before showing me that cable management
😂Best comment
Right 😂😂
You always impress me with your attention to detail and the neatness if your work. Many people don’t recognize the importance of neat work until it cones time to troubleshoot. My old trade school instructor would be pleased. He always emphasized to us apprentices to do our work in a neat and workmanlike manner. Hope we get to see more on site videos.
Attention to detail? He didn’t record the most important part of setting up the cables and rack. Ridiculous. Why post the videov
Fantastic install, Cody! Thanks for your great videos.
Excellent work Cody. This is the kind of installations that set the bar. Clean and well thought. Job Well Done !!!!
My favorite channel about "on site networking" tasks! Clean, concice and very professional job!
Sweet install, very clean indeed. Must admit that AI theta is looking interesting. It is much more discrete but with that dewarping mode, impressive video output.
Very cool, thanks for taking the time to share.
Beautiful install! You are a true professional Cody. Thanks for all the great content you’ve shared over the years, I really appreciate you sharing your expertise.
Thank you for watching :) really appreciate it
Love these cabling videos. All my clients are remote. So satisfying to watch.
This is my favourite type of content. So peaceful and enjoyable.
Great video! I had a a lot of funny watching everything come together.
Fantastic craftsmanship. Very well done. Enjoyed looking at your cabling work.
That looks great bro. Love it.
Great video man, I'm really liking the Theta!
Nice work Cody !!
Very smart looking install, great job!
Nice work! That little Thea camera works well too
Looks awesome!
Man, great work! That is a huge dentist office haha. Everything looks extremely neat and tidy. Great work man.
It’s a big place ( a doctors office not dentist) but all the same lol
it's now also thankfully protected against bandits.
Clean setup!
Great video as always!
Awesome, very professional.
Dude! You're neater than me, and I didn't think it was possible. I learned from you today! Thank you!
Makes me want to get into networking as a business. Excellent work!
Another great project. Thanks for sharing.
So clean and well done
Hey brother I just discovered your channel about a week ago and have been enjoying your videos very much. Your work is super clean, thanks for sharing
Appreciate you watching :)
Nice setup, a rack shelf is just that a shelf, so far you've figured your own mounting options that works for you, who's to say what's better
Great work 👍🏼
so satisfying to watch all those 6 inch patch cables go in
Yep especially after seeing the mess of wires in our network cabinets at the schools I work at. I'm an IT tech for a school district. I spent many hours about 3 years ago cleaning up the cabinets at 2 sites. They're not pretty, but they look much better than when I started. Its one of my summer projects, but we have too many other projects going on and I feel we're very understaffed relative to the amount of projects we have.
Great video. I'd love to hear about how you go about customer acquisition to get and then any CRM you use to retain customers, as well as any pricing. Would especially love to hear about getting in on new installs.
Dude, that’s one sexy install!!
Hi Kodi, I really love your unifi videos, I was wondering if you could make a video on unifi protect, access and talk multi site management (having same credentials and permissions that work between different sites with different dream machines or UNVR or cloud keys). Basically the setup is going to be to have a user be able to use their door access credentials in different offices and can call a different site/office with and internal extension through talk.
I enjoy watching your videos, funny to me because in the UK we treat things like this like a factory worker, one company for cabling, another for CCTV and in house or or another company for network management, yet you do all three. I would love to do that as my daily job.
Ya I love doing buildouts from start to finish. Some companies only hire us for one thing. But ends up cheaper for them if we do it all
I'm impressed with the 360 camera. Do you put the door access hub above the door in the drop celling? Looks like a great install.
Nice! 🙌
Nice!
If I had that job, I think I would have convinced the Project Manager (probably just one of the Doctor's) to buy and have installed (using different cabling paths) backup CAT-6 cables to each outlet in all critical ares. I managed the Network install of my Brother-In-Laws medical office (as a favor with no Pay). About 6-months later, a fan in one of the Air Conditioner vents was replaced, and they accidentally cut (and pulled-out for some reason) four of the CAT-6 cables, resulting in the loss of network for two Doctors on their Office Desktops (fortunately redundant using WiFi), and connectivity to their CT Scan and one X-Ray room. It took almost a week to get everything back up by running/replacing the runs (once again gratis on my part and also leading to injury on one of my knees - however there were many doctors and 'easy to look at' Nurses around to help). Lesson Learned, unless the 'easy to look at' is considered a bonus.
By the way, your wiring and rack setup is definitely a 'Show Case', and I'm jealous.
That was my thought when I saw that last cable being terminated for the door, what about backup cabling.
pretty slick
Nice job! One recommendation for mounting the equipment. Put the screws in the bottom holes and not diagonal or the top. As gravity holds the top. Plus its a good habit for when you put taller than 1RU items in as it eliminates any torquing and twisting of the equipment.
this is amazing
First thought was I bed this is the video of the same office you posted the picture of on reddit
Excellent video! Where did you put the UA-Hub Access Hub?
Have you seen that tool for wire pulling/guiding in the corner of drop ceilings ? Its pretty cool, snaps on and it like a corner funnel
I have something similar called the pulling pal

Larger service loops. tighter sweeps to patch panels. First two access points are too close. Unifi protect, and access = boo.
Lucky to have conduit in the wall. Used to fishing everything.
A very clean install. Without giving specifics, what does a job like this cost in Canada today?
I love it! Nice work dude. Working on a Doctors office as well. Started the ubiquiti drip a while ago with a couple of In wall APs and a POE 48 Pro to run their IP phones and whatnot. Now they have a UNVR, UDM Pro, and will have 9+ cameras, 6 are G4 Pros. I'm thinking they're a good candidate for a door system as well.
Thanks! I really like the door access for small offices
hopefully also your doctors office will soon be protected against bandits looting the place.
Great product, completely given up trying to get any stock to run a business in Australia.
Thats to bad. Stock in Canada isnt much better
Excellent work Cody!, I wanted to ask you about the size of the patch cords you used and where I can buy them, I find that it looks much better than using long patch cords and Rack Mount Cable Management Raceway Duct Panel with Cover Black. Congratulations on your work.
Wouldn't you want to have two other switches for failover? Something like the aggregation switch?
Awesome watch as usual. I'm curious how tech proficient some of these businesses are before hiring you.
My contact knows quiet a bit. The doctor was recommended to me from someone in Alberta that watches my channel! Gotta love how CZcams gets me job 😎
I really like your videos giving allot of information, and your installs are neat. Can you do a couple of videos on the settings in just unifi console? In some of your videos you lock the system down tight, others you don't cover I so much. I am trying to manage a church unifi network and end a couple of threats. Something has maipoi usage in the Gb level and trying to lock it down.
Hey James,
I am planning on doing more videos shortly just waiting on the network controller update
Nice & clean work Cody. Just wondering, does WAN sfp+ on udm works with switch? Thanks
They can now be configured to be a LaN port :)
Did you use a separate firewall like PF sense or something like that or is the UDM-Pro good enough in this case? Just curious thanks
Beautiful work, Absolutely gorgeous layout. Is this circuit on emergency power? Did you put in a large UPS. I think EP is key when dealing with access control and security cameras.
They have a big ups that they provided ( not rackmountable)
Beautiful work where do you buy vertical Cable products in Canada?
Hey I buy them from TDL Canada
Beautiful install man I wish I would have gone with ubiquiti hardware instead of FS. I like the rack it's a perfect size. Need to get one myself but a little smaller.
I know a few companies who went with FS as Unifi didnt have stock. Its not back but the interface is a little harder to work with
Nice rack organization but I always get the audio and TV guys trying to cram their stuff into the same rack
Hello Cody, do you make your own 0.15m cables ? If not, where did you buy theim ?
Can you show the process of running cables in a business unit?
I've been in Cisco environments and have now been tasked to find solutions to our smaller clientele with budget constraints. Unifi gear is a god send, however some things I'm traditionally used to such as "Stacking" doesn't look to be supported, am I wrong? How are we managing "Stacks", Lost right now.
If you had two WAN connections, how would you DAC cable the devices together? If the SFP ports were only 1Gb would you LAG the switches together?
Why did you put on the strain relief with the cable ties that early, even before you installed the keystone modules? What do you do, of the keystone Module took too much or too less cable? The keystone would not fit anymore into the patch panel
Nicely done. Ever consider a hinged rack?
Thanks. Not really a fan of hinged racks
At my workplace we often do similar job sites with Unifi Network and cameras - do you know if there is any marketing material (like videos or pictures) we can use on our Website or instagram to promote the products?
Good job but it will be interesting to know also how you configure these networks. For example do you segment data, VoIP, cctv, Guest Wi-Fi with VLANS, etc ?
Hey I do have other video that show setups of UDM pros from start to finish :)
Can you expand on the door locks you used, how they are powered, and how the fail safe?
The lock is just an electric strike that is connected to the Unifi access hub to get power 12v. The network is connected to a UPS in case of power failure
What kind of patch cables are those and where did you get them?
have you heard anything about number porting in canada?
Nice job! What is that tool you are using at 0:50 to organize the cables for wrapping? That looks handy!
Yes that's exactly what I want to know as well!
Its a cable comb ( Affiliate link) amzn.to/42857SP
I had a question where are you getting the wires at for the half of feet or 1 foot? They used in rackmount the connect from that black box to the unify switch it or do you hand make them
These are similar to the ones I use. Affiliate link amzn.to/3LFf1El
I have seen that you have used other brand cameras. How do you know when to user Ubiquiti and when to use other brand cameras? It is because the user asked you for it or did you recommend it to him?
BIG FUCKING METAL DOOR and paper walls :P
Good work
What would you like me to do about that lol I don’t construct it
If I have 6 POE devices (cameras and intercom) over 80m away from the main switch should I run 6 long cables or use small switches at some point in the middle to reduce the cables heading to the main switch?
Hi. From which manufacturer are you using this 6 inch Patch cables? 👋
How many Ethernet jacks per wall box would you prefer?
Nice job. What phones are they using and how did you get them to unlock the door? as in do they work with unifi access?
Grandstream with some hosted solution. They will be using cell phones with the UID app to unlock the doors
At least we all know if we break into this building where the CCTV cameras are now.
Good morning, Cody, what wire comb did you use at this site?
Hey,
This is the one I currently use

Curious, what is the palo alto used for? I see it hiding at the bottom of the rack..
It’s a juniper which is used for the ISP gear
Anyone know what that roundish blue and yellow cable management tool is? Never seen it, but I like it.
It’s a cable comb similar to this
amzn.to/3OjNcn9
Did you do the structured cabling for this site as well, or was it already run by another contractor?
yup I did everything
4:40 the access points are pretty close, do you enable fast roaming? Bevore i had it not enabled and my wlan call dropped and switched to normal phone mode when it switched from one ap to another, but since i enabled fast roaming, no drops or switching to normal phone mode during talking.
No fast roaming but it will be on low power. I’ll end up doing a wireless survey and if we need to move it we will.
This was the pre design now we validate
Would have loved to hear those satisfying clicks at 2:43
I know!!! I should have done that.
I wouldn't wire both switches to the UDM (like a top of rack switch). It's the weakest switch in the setup and doesn't even support RSTP.
Well that’s good to know I had no clue RSTP wasn’t supported! Thanks you :)
I have the same V-Max 1-Punch Down Termination tool, do you need specific RJ45 Keystone Jacks to use with the tool? thank you.
Need to use the vertical cable VMAX jacks
Do you run the cables or do you only come in and finish after an installer does the cabling?
Yup I ran all the cabling as well
What do you think of the ai 360s vs the ai theta. Just did a install with 7 360s and maybe the theta would’ve looked cleaner. I know night vision is bad on the theta and without many reviews I didn’t want to risk it long term.
The view on both are great imo. I like with the theta you get two lenses one for 360 and one for wide angle if you want. In saying that I love the AI360 and we are adding one to this site as well. For the reception area the AI Theta just looked a lot better ( in this setting anyways)
How do you have an AI Theta camera behind the desk? HIPPA regulations prohibit that as it can pick up personal and private data on computer monitors. for the door access, is that a back door to the office, or the network room? Did you install the emegency push to exit system too for fire code? Also for fire code in your area, are you allowed to power fail CLOSED for the lock, or do you have to power fail to OPEN?...actually, nevermind on thqat, lol, the push bar meets that requirement where in an emergency users can push bar to open door leaving the mag lock fail CLOSED for security.
With any Unifi camera you can have privacy zones so it totally blocks out certain areas ( like computer screens). For Unifi access there is a push paddle on the door so you can always exit no matter what. We never install maglocks but if you do you most definitely need to have some fail safe set
Amazing content! Does anyone know the name of the tool Cody uses to bunch the cables together at 0:45 ??
It’s called a cable comb. Affiliate link below

@@MactelecomNetworks Thank you so much for the prompt reply! I have been searching high and low for this lol Cheers!
@ 1:23 what was that crimper? It crimped the keystone jack all at once?
It’s the vertical cable 1 punch tool
Doesn't the two switches need a link between them in case of failure of one switch or for quick transport if someone need to talk with something and can move from switch to switch.
I'm simply just asking as I normally work with cisco
You can and I've actually added a cable between :)
I've question, why do you use wooden backplate, is something wrong with walls in US/Canada?
Nothing wrong with the walls. It just gives us space behind the rack if we even need to run a cable behind it. Also I prefer it a bit off the wall
I really miss conduit in walls :( Newer buildings suck in the US
There is conduits almost everywhere where data drops were. The electricians did a great job
Do you need to have an emergency release for the door latch that’s controlled by the Unifi system?
You can exit this door no matter what it has a push handle that allows you out
@@MactelecomNetworks I am trying to work out, if it has the push to exit latch what is the point of an access controller on the door?
Do you make your own l patch cables for installs? Ie the cables from switch to the patch panel
Nope i use infinite cables 6 inch slim cat 6
New sub here. Great content. Great explanations and super-clean installs. It should be you with 15 mil subs, not the Linus guy.
Food for thought to consider going forward. We are fast getting to the point where camera resolution will be sufficient to capture details in documentation (either on paper or computer screens) to the point that it is considered PHI (protected health information) as per HIPAA. Storage of PHI opens up a whole can of worms, and the fines for violating HIPAA are mindblowing.
This is unlikely to be an issue for the current gen of Unifi Protect cams. But no question it becomes an issue within two years. Bottom line is that I wouldn't want to be the test case.
Ya that will definitely be an issue in the future. The cameras have pretty high equality already. Thanks for watching !
Do the contractors label all the cat lines when they run them?
Well I mean I ran all the cables 😂 yup everything is labelled with a wire wrap
Cable job would fail fire inspection becuase its not suspended above ceiling, no cables should touch ceiling tiles.
Fire inspection passed we have jhooks
Do you have an electrician physically run all the cabling or do you do that as well?
I do it my self :)
@@MactelecomNetworks Awesome man! Looking to start a similar business after about a decade as a network engineer and building automation engineer. Thanks for your videos, they are great!
