Local considerations

Large single-story tract homes with accessible attics make multi-drop Ethernet retrofits relatively quick here.
Builder-installed media panels from the 1990s onward are common and usually worth re-terminating and labeling.
Wider lots mean exterior cameras often need a driveway and side-gate plan rather than just a doorbell.

Common home types here: Single-story tracts, Two-story builds, Detached garages and workshops.

How much does PoE or low-voltage lighting cost in a home?

Low-voltage lighting is priced by fixture count, the cabling to each fixture, and the controller or PoE switching that powers them. It is most cost-effective in new construction and remodels, where each fixture gets a home-run cable before the ceilings close.

What is low-voltage or PoE lighting?: It is a lighting architecture in which compatible LED fixtures, drivers, controls or sensors receive low-voltage power and control data from a central system. In a PoE design, standard network cabling connects each compatible endpoint to PoE switching or a purpose-built lighting node.
Can Cat6 cable power lighting?: Yes, when the complete system is designed and listed for Power over Ethernet. Cat6 or Cat6A can carry standards-based PoE power and data to compatible fixtures and sensors, but cable category, bundle size, length, temperature, switch capacity and device power requirements must all be engineered correctly.
