How much does professional UniFi installation cost?
Professional UniFi installation is usually priced as cable runs plus mounting plus configuration time, not as a percentage of the hardware. Installing owner-supplied equipment in a home that already has cabling is a short visit; a full design with several new runs, a rack and cameras is a one- to two-day job.
