The Basics

What is UniFi?

UniFi is the unified business network platform from Ubiquiti. It runs your WiFi, network switches, security cameras, door access, and even your phone system from a single dashboard, with hardware you own outright. Once installed, your stack keeps working — even if the internet goes down.

Unified networking

Enterprise-grade switching, routing, VPN, and WiFi managed from one dashboard — with multi-WAN, VLANs, and 802.1X built in.

Smarter cameras

UniFi Protect with on-device AI for person, vehicle, and license-plate detection. Local recording, remote viewing, no per-camera cloud fees.

Modern door access

Card readers, mobile credentials, intercoms, and elevator control on the same UniFi dashboard — tied directly to your camera footage.

UniFi 5G Backup

The Ubiquiti UniFi 5G Backup is a highly affordable, $99 plug-and-play cellular modem designed to provide automatic internet failover for UniFi networks. Powered entirely by PoE, it utilizes 5G RedCap technology to deliver reliable backup speeds up to 220 Mbps while keeping hardware and power costs exceptionally low. Ultimately, it serves as a cost-effective "insurance policy" for homes or small businesses, ensuring your critical connectivity remains active during primary ISP outages.

Platform fit

Where UniFi fits — and where another platform makes more sense

WLV designs and installs on every major platform: Meraki, Cisco Catalyst, Verkada, Brivo, and UniFi. The right choice depends on your environment, not on what we’d rather sell. Here’s an honest look at where UniFi tends to be the best fit, and where the enterprise incumbents still are.

Often the best fit

Choose UniFi when…

You want one unified dashboard

WiFi, switching, cameras, and door access all in a single pane of glass.

You'd rather own your hardware outright

No recurring per-device subscription gating basic functionality.

You're SMB to mid-market

Single building up to roughly ten sites, where flexibility beats vendor uniformity.

You need local-first operation

The stack keeps working if the WAN drops or the cloud has a bad day.

You want built-in AI

LPR, person/vehicle, and occupancy detection without paid add-ons.

Often the best fit

Stay on Meraki, Cisco, or Verkada when…

You need SLA-backed vendor support

Large enterprises with 24/7 escalation paths and named TAC engineers.

You're standardized across many sites

Consistency across dozens or hundreds of locations outweighs hardware cost.

Your compliance requires specific certifications

Regulated environments where vendor-specific FedRAMP/CJIS/etc. is mandated.

Your IT team is already trained on it

Switching costs and retraining outweigh the platform's licensing premium.

You need deep cloud-managed multi-tenancy

Service-provider scenarios where the platform's MSP tooling is the moat.

Not sure which platform fits? We'll do a free, no-strings platform-fit assessment and recommend whichever makes the most sense — including platforms we don't lead with. We design Meraki refreshes, keep Cisco Catalyst networks healthy, and pull new Verkada cameras every month. The brand on the box doesn't matter; the right answer for your site does.

Our process

How a WLV UniFi project actually runs

Five steps from your first call to a network that runs itself. No vague handoffs, no “plus shipping and handling” surprises.

  1. Step 01 · ~1 week

    Site Survey & Design

    We walk your space, run an RF survey, plan camera sightlines, and audit your existing wiring and door hardware. Predictive heat-maps in UniFi Design Center show exactly where every AP and camera will go.

  2. Step 02 · 2–3 days

    Detailed Proposal

    You get a line-item proposal with the exact hardware, cabling, labor, and timeline. No surprises — every part number priced out, every labor hour accounted for.

  3. Step 03 · on-site build

    Cabling & Install

    Our crew runs every Cat6/Cat6A drop, builds your network rack, mounts every AP and camera, and pulls every door wire — all in-house by a licensed Michigan low-voltage contractor.

  4. Step 04 · scheduled cutover

    Configuration & Cutover

    VLANs, SSIDs, RADIUS / 802.1X, camera AI tuning, access credentialing — configured before we leave. Cutovers are scheduled when it's safest for your business.

  5. Step 05 · 24/7 ongoing

    Ongoing Support

    Pair the install with a Dark Blue Technologies managed agreement and we monitor the whole stack 24/7, push firmware updates, and respond to issues before you notice them.

CASE STUDY · RESTAURANT · GRAND LEDGE, MI

Anna’s House — Full Low Voltage Buildout

The Challenge

Anna’s House needed a complete low-voltage installation for their Grand Ledge restaurant, tying together the network infrastructure, kitchen display systems, TVs, wireless access, audio, POS connectivity, and surveillance cabling into one clean, serviceable build. The site required a large number of Cat6 home runs back to a new office rack location, multiple HDMI feeds for display mirroring, commercial display mounting, and reliable WiFi coverage throughout the restaurant.

The Solution

Wolverine Low Voltage provided a full structured cabling and systems installation package, including network rack buildout, Cat6 cabling, HDMI distribution, KDS display mounting, commercial audio, device installation, and UniFi network deployment.

One complete low-voltage deployment across the restaurant:

The Outcome

Anna’s House received a clean, organized, and scalable low-voltage backbone for restaurant operations. The completed system supports kitchen display workflows, POS connectivity, guest and staff wireless access, surveillance coverage, distributed audio, and centralized network management from a professionally built 16U rack. All cabling was labeled, tested, and routed back to the new office rack location, giving the Anna’s House team a reliable foundation that is easier to service, expand, and support long-term.

FAQ

Frequently asked about UniFi in Michigan

Common questions from clients evaluating UniFi against their current platform. Have a more specific question? Send it our way.

Is WLV a licensed UniFi installer in Michigan?

Yes. Wolverine Low Voltage is a licensed Michigan low-voltage contractor and an authorized UniFi/Ubiquiti professional integrator. We design, install, and support UniFi systems across the state — from a single AP to multi-site deployments.

Pricing depends on site size, cabling, and which UniFi product lines you need (WiFi, cameras, door access). Most small-office WiFi refreshes start around $4–8K installed; multi-camera Protect deployments run higher. We always provide a line-item proposal — no surprises.

In most small-to-mid business environments, yes — and you eliminate recurring license fees in the process. We give an honest assessment first: if your environment is better served by Meraki or Cisco (very large enterprise, specific SLA needs), we'll tell you.

Yes. UniFi supports VLAN-per-tenant, isolated WiFi networks per unit, and per-tenant billing/usage reporting. We've deployed it in mixed-use buildings, apartment complexes, and shared office spaces across Michigan.

WiFi 6 (802.11ax) is the modern baseline — fast, efficient, great range. WiFi 6E adds the 6 GHz band for less interference. WiFi 7 adds Multi-Link Operation and wider channels for very high throughput. For most offices, WiFi 6 or 6E hits the sweet spot today; WiFi 7 makes sense for high-density or future-proofing.

Yes. UniFi Protect outdoor cameras (G6 Bullet, G6 Pro, AI Pro) are IP66/IP67 rated and operate well below freezing. We mount them with proper conduit and weatherproofing for Michigan conditions, and we factor cold-weather PoE budget into the design.

Yes — that integration is one of the biggest reasons people choose the platform. A door unlock event can pull up the camera footage from that door automatically, all from the same dashboard, with no per-door monthly fee.

Yes. Through our managed services partner Dark Blue Technologies (DBT), we offer 24/7 monitoring, firmware management, and incident response. Most clients pair installation with a managed agreement so they never have to think about the network again.
