Bandit Systems

After Bandit Systems installed my new NVR and HA security cameras, it became obvious that I needed higher network bandwidth at home to stream the 8 cameras over the Internet. I decided the time was right to implement Cat 5e throughout my house and put all of the gear in a wall mount rack in my garage.
Although it wasn’t Bandit’s primary function to install home networks, James had installed lots of network cable to power PoE cameras for other clients. Given how happy I was with the original installation, I gave James first right of refusal on my network project.
The task was to run 14 drops around the house, two to each bedroom, four to the office, etc., and terminate everything in a patch panel in the cage in the garage. I pre-​ordered the cage, UPS, switch, patch panel, and James supplied the cable, keystones, and face plates. My initial plan was to run the cable from the ceiling and through the wall cavity, but additional studs in the middle of the wall made it awkward; we went under the house instead. James and his colleague worked tirelessly to pull all the cable on the first day, then returned the following day to install the jacks in each room, mount the cage, wire the patch panel, and install the network hardware.
The end result: my cable modem, NVR, and other equipment are in a locked cage, protected by a UPS; I have Cat 5e in most rooms, and I have complete control of my network infrastructure because of the managed switch and patch panel I chose. I could not be more happy with the work done.
