Video Description

In this video we will be installing a home network and UniFi Protect CCTV system for my parents where the main requirement was for the setup to be as small and hidden as possible without requiring any redecoraction work. Therefore we will be installing everything into a tiny 10" network cabinet and run all of the cables under the floor and through an existing cable route to upstairs. Was definitely a pretty challenging install, but well worth it in the end!
