nook or something like that and have a unified network installed yourself onto that device you could also use a hosted unifi network that's what i use myself i host my own unifi network with digitalocean i've done numerous videos on how to set that up so go check out those videos or you could use something like hostify hostify is a really great option riley over at hostify excellent guy he has a really really good service i've got a link down below if you want to check out hostify it's a paid unifi os hosted controller but here's the thing that is not super obvious about hostify he includes support so if you want support on any of your unified devices you can sign up and as long as you have your unifi controller hosted with hostify they will also support your unifi network really really huge bonus by going with hostify link down below check them out for the access point and i should actually say access points because if you're at this level of networking typically you're going to have multiple access points in my house i have four different access points in this case though i gotta again go with the uNUMBER_TOKEN lite there is no better bang for your buck than the uNUMBER_TOKEN light i've done a lot of access point testing and at NUMBER_TOKEN bucks the power and speed that you get out of that access point is not comparable to any other access point that i've tested it's just far and beyond the best bang for your buck so you've got all of your wireless devices you've got any hardwired devices that you want and once again i also still recommend get these usw flex minis behind your television for your audio visual rack plug it in with poe power and then you've got four gigabit ports to power up your tvs and your rokus and your playstations etc so with this robust home network and the cloud key gen NUMBER_TOKEN plus you have a hard drive i think it's a one terabyte hard drive by default in that gen two plus you can upgrade that hard drive i think up to a maximum of about five terabytes but it's a single hard drive there's no redundancy in there and if you're looking to add some cameras to your home network protect is really really awesome except that especially with the default one terabyte drive that's in there you're gonna not have a lot of history when you have more than like three or four cameras right so if you're going to be going beyond three or four cameras around your house which maybe you won't but if you are going to you're going to quickly outgrow that cloud key gen NUMBER_TOKEN plus so now let's add in some surveillance and for surveillance i would recommend the ubiquity unvr it just runs unify os with unifi protect on top of it and that is dollars not counting the hard drive so that does not come with any of the hard drives the hard drives can be expensive you know an NUMBER_TOKEN terabyte hard drive can be something like NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN bucks so you're looking at probably another at least a thousand dollars worth of hard drives if you're gonna fully deck this thing out with like eight terabyte drives but it can handle a ridiculous amount of
START_SPONSOR_TOKEN check out hostify it's a paid unifi os hosted controller but here's the thing that is not super obvious about hostify he includes support so if you want support on any of your unified devices you can sign up and as long as you have your unifi controller hosted with hostify they will also support your unifi network really really huge bonus by going with hostify link down below check them out for the END_SPONSOR_TOKEN
