Yeah, I think this would be the ideal solution, however I don't think any ISPs are currently offering multiple static addresses in my area i'm afraid (Bangkok, Thailand).

Thanks. I'm guessing scenario b would be much easier to implement than a, but then again a would me more ideal for tenants... Tough choice haha

Thanks for the reply. Subnets are indeed a good idea, but could you elaborate on the double NAT? What about seperating the network into seperate VLANs, since I am considering isolating the security cameras as well.

Hi, I'm wondering if it is possible to 'split' an incoming internet/fibre connection into four seperate SSIDs? Basically I'm building four new houses, three of which will be rented out (I'll live in the fourth one). Would it be feasible to have one fibre connection come in to my server room in my house then split up to the other houses w/ seperate SSIDs, passwords and such (also traffic monitoring/bandwidth ? Planning to wire up the homes with cat5e. Looking into ubiquiti products to manage all of this, including security cameras. Im thinking it would be a disaster to have four different incoming connections vs having only one fibre connection coming in and then splitting it up. Thanks.

Would I still be able to do things like VLANs (e.g. for security cameras) ? Edit: Yes they do. What are the main differences between the Unifi switch and the Edgeswitch?

I'm a beginner right now.. I'll probably be doing this next year though so I'm hoping to gain more knowledge before putting all of this together.

Hmm.. good point. Did not know about the licenses until now. UnRAID box sounds like a really good deal compared to the Synology. What kind of specs would be preferable for an UnRAID box to run Plex and Blue Iris + storage smoothly? I'm not a heavy user though.

Right now my first choice would be Synology's software since it would be more convenient for me to have everything in one place (storage, streaming and surveillance), although I will definitely look into Blue Iris. I'm still pretty sad about the RS815+ 's inferior transcoding versus something like the DS716+ though.. Would it be a good assumption that Synology will refresh their RS815 next year? Also, what do you mean by 2 licenses from Synology?

Definitely going to consider EdgeRouter for aesthetics.. Do you think Blue Iris is better than Synology's Surveillance app? Currently my choice is Synology's. Unfortunately the RS815+ doesn't support transcoding as well as the DS716+ does.. shame.

I see. Also, could you recommend me some good brands for UPS's and PDU's ?

What are the advantages of using an Edgerouter over the ISP issued modem/router combo? I'm thinking about using Synology's Surveillance Station to control my IP cameras.

Hi friends, I am currently in the process of drafting a network for my new house. Since it has three floors, I am planning to do some network drops and a few access points across the house, as well as wire up some IP cameras along with a NAS for storage, streaming and surveillance. Here is what I have so far: Router: ISP router (not sure) Switch: Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch (48 500W) APs: Ubiquiti Unifi AP NAS: Synology DS716+ IP Camera: not sure (maybe ~10 cameras) I would also need a PDU and UPS. I'm thinking of also setting up a seperate VLAN for the cameras to isolate them and to also connect a wireless printer. I have chosen the DS716+ over a RS unit (RS815+) because of the video transcoding capabilities. Would this set up be alright? I am reading about Ubiquiti's EdgeRouter but I am not sure how it will be better than the average ISP provided wireless router/modem combo though. Also, since I may be getting fiber optic, will it matter what router I use? Thanks

my favourite product is the autore keyboard because.. i love minimalistic stuff. very elegant. i like.
