Coverage objectives
Entrances, approaches, parking, work areas and property edges are reviewed for identification and situational views.

UniFi Protect camera coverage planned around useful views
A camera is only useful when its location, field of view, lighting, network connection and recording plan support the question you need it to answer. We plan coverage before mounting hardware.
What the work includes
Mounting and connectivity
Camera height, weather exposure, cable paths, PoE capacity and maintenance access are considered together.
Recording retention
Recorder and storage choices are matched to camera count, resolution, recording behavior and desired retention targets.
Usable notifications
Detection zones and alerts are tuned to reduce avoidable noise while preserving important activity.
How we approach the project
Identify what needs to be seen, when, and by whom.
Walk views, lighting, mounting locations, cable routes and network capacity.
Create a camera, recorder, storage and installation scope.
Install, aim, test recordings and review access and notification settings.
Common questions
How many days of video will the system keep?
Retention depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate, recording settings, activity and usable storage. We estimate it from the proposed design rather than promise a universal number.
Can you add cameras to an existing Protect system?
Often, after checking controller compatibility, recorder capacity, PoE budget, storage and network health.
Do you install cameras outdoors?
Yes, when the selected camera, mounting, cable protection and placement are appropriate for the exposure.
