Quick FAQ

How accurate are these recommendations?

These are practical buying recommendations based on your inputs. They are useful for shortlisting gear, but they are not a replacement for a professional site survey or installer plan.

Do I need access points or just one router?

Smaller homes can often work well with one solid router, while larger homes, thick walls, and multi-floor layouts usually benefit from dedicated access points for more even coverage.

How is cable length estimated?

The estimate uses home size, room count, floors, hub location, cameras, and selected needs, then adds extra slack so you are less likely to under-buy cable.

What does usable NAS space mean?

Usable NAS space means the storage you expect to have available for your files after the array setup. Real drive size and RAID layout affect how much raw drive capacity you need to buy to reach that usable target.
