Unifi Install - Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Today we were lucky enough to get to install the new Gen2 Cloudkey+ from Ubiquiti. Ubiquiti offers the fastest, most solid Wifi solution here in Thailand. The new Cloudkey has a built-in battery so that it can power down the Cloudkey if there is a power outage. This prevents it from losing power during an important task, it senses when the power is cut and starts the process of a safe shut-down, preserving your settings.

This install will consist of a CloudKey to manage the Unifi interface, 2 AC-Lite’s for great WiFi coverage and 6 of Ubiquiti’s G3 CCTV cameras for security, the owner will be able to login from anywhere in the world and see what’s happening in his villa. The new Cloudkey has a battery backup.

The new security system is called Unifi Protect, the Cloudkey+ features a 1Tb hard disk to store video and allows the owner remote access from anywhere in the world.

Most of our Smart Home installs now feature Ubiquiti Wifi, for the owner it means they will have the fastest Wifi experience possible in Thailand, for us it allows easy setup of all networking or network connected equipment so we can at a glance see exactly what’s happening, name and catalogue devices and administer it remotely.

This house features a Control4 Smart Home system so it’s important that the network is solid, although the Control4 keypads are Zigbee the brains of the Control4 system are all IP Networking so it’s fundamental to have a rock solid network infrastructure as the backbone.
