Ethernet & POE Camera Installation
Hardwired network infrastructure and security cameras for Utah homes that need reliability beyond WiFi. Cat6/Cat6a cabling, Ubiquiti UniFi Protect, and clean professional installation.
What We Install
We handle the full scope of residential and light commercial network infrastructure — from pulling cable to mounting cameras to configuring your system.
Structured Cabling
Cat6 and Cat6a ethernet runs to any room. Wall plates, conduit, and clean routing through attics and crawlspaces.
POE Security Cameras
Ubiquiti UniFi Protect cameras — G4 Bullet, G4 Pro, G5 Flex, doorbell. One cable for power and data.
Network Equipment
POE switches, patch panels, network racks, and UniFi Dream Machine or Cloud Key for recording and management.
WiFi Infrastructure
Hardwired access point placement for whole-home WiFi coverage. Eliminate dead zones with ceiling or wall-mounted APs.
Common Use Cases
Home Security Cameras
POE cameras around the perimeter of your home — driveway, front door, backyard, garage. No WiFi dropouts, no battery swaps, continuous recording to a local NVR you control.
Home Office Networking
Dedicated ethernet drops to your desk for video calls, file transfers, and VPN connections that don't compete with the rest of the household for WiFi bandwidth.
Smart Home Backbone
Hardwired connections for smart home hubs, media streamers, and gaming consoles. WiFi access points backhaul over ethernet for reliable whole-home coverage.
Detached Garage & Shop
Run ethernet from your main house to a detached garage, workshop, or ADU. Bring network access and camera coverage to buildings that WiFi can't reliably reach.
Our Process
From site survey to system configuration, we handle every step.
Site Survey
We walk your property, plan cable routes, identify camera positions, and determine equipment needs.
Cable Routing
We pull Cat6/Cat6a cable through attics, walls, and crawlspaces. Clean routing with proper support and separation from power lines.
Termination & Testing
Every cable is terminated to spec, patched to your panel, and tested for continuity and speed. No guesswork.
Mount & Configure
Cameras mounted, NVR connected, and system configured. We walk you through the app and make sure everything records properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does ethernet installation cost in Utah?
Most residential ethernet projects run $500–$3,000 depending on the number of drops, cable type (Cat6 vs Cat6a), and how accessible the walls and attic are. A single run from a basement to an office might be $150–$300. A whole-home structured cabling job with 8–12 drops, a patch panel, and a network rack runs $1,500–$3,000. We provide exact pricing after a site survey.
Can you run ethernet through finished walls?
Yes. We route cable through attics, crawlspaces, and wall cavities to keep runs hidden. In finished homes, we use low-voltage brackets and wall plates for a clean result. If attic or crawlspace access exists above or below the room, we can usually avoid opening walls entirely.
What's the difference between Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a?
Cat5e supports up to 1 Gbps and is fine for basic internet. Cat6 supports 10 Gbps at shorter distances and is the current standard. Cat6a supports 10 Gbps at full 100-meter runs and is the best choice for future-proofing. We recommend Cat6 for most homes and Cat6a for new construction or homes where you want maximum longevity.
Do POE cameras need separate power outlets?
No — that's the main advantage of POE (Power over Ethernet). The camera gets both data and power through a single ethernet cable, so you don't need an outlet at each camera location. Power comes from a POE switch or injector at your network rack or closet.
Can you install Ubiquiti UniFi systems?
Yes. We install the full Ubiquiti UniFi Protect ecosystem — cameras (G4 Bullet, G4 Pro, G5 Flex, doorbell), the UniFi Dream Machine or Cloud Key for recording and management, POE switches, and access points. We handle the physical installation, cable runs, and initial system configuration.
