Guest entry, Wi-Fi and cameras

Self check-in and the network, in all three dwellings (John, 6 Oct 2026). John supplies all the equipment. Mastacon's part: Ethernet (Cat6) run to every point below at rough-in, before the walls are lined, and the electrician fitting off what John supplies (the access points, doorbells and the patch panel).

Airbnb's rules (since April 2024): no indoor cameras of any kind, on or off; outdoor cameras allowed only if their location and purpose are disclosed, and not where guests expect privacy; noise monitors that measure decibels only are allowed if disclosed (battery units, no cabling needed). John uses a Tapo DL110 at home. All the equipment (the locks, UniFi gateway, switch, access points, doorbells) is John's to supply and set up; Mastacon's part is the cable, the power, the door preparation and fitting off the devices John supplies.

To confirm or price

  • Network cupboard and cabling (first, at rough-in): a Cat6 cable from each point below, run back to one place per dwelling. We suggest the locked owner's cupboard upstairs (section 12a), so guests can't reach the gear, with a double power point and some ventilation; or a small cabinet beside the switchboard in the garage. Which do you recommend? The NBN connection box (NTD) goes in the same place. Please terminate every run on a patch panel there, and price the cabling and the fit-off of John's equipment per dwelling.
  • NBN: the new-development application to NBN, the pit and pipe from the street, and a lead-in conduit to each dwelling's network cupboard. Whose scope?
  • Front doors, smart lock: a TP-Link Tapo DL110 smart deadbolt (keypad, fingerprint and app; rechargeable battery; IP65; two backup keys), supplied by John, on each front door, with guests given a code. Please prepare each door for a standard deadbolt (bore and strike), fit the lock John supplies, and fit only a non-locking matte black pull on the outside (the door hardware in section 11a). Does the Corinthian door's thickness and edge suit it?
  • Backup key: a matte black combination key safe for one of the lock's backup keys, mounted out of sight in the porch. Blocking in the porch wall, please.
  • Video doorbell: a UniFi G4 Doorbell Pro (PoE) beside each front door, powered over its data cable, so the lock has a camera and a bell beside it. A Cat6 point in the porch wall at about 1.3 m, beside the door on the latch side.
  • Wi-Fi access points: UniFi ceiling-mounted access points, one upstairs (central, in the hall or living ceiling) and one downstairs (the bedroom corridor ceiling), and an outdoor one under the balcony over the patio for the back yard. A Cat6 point in the ceiling at each, positions to be set out on site.
  • Other data points: behind the TV unit in the living (section 08a), at each solar inverter (section 07b, Flexible Exports), and at the garage door opener if it isn't Wi-Fi (section 11c).
  • Cameras, if any beyond the doorbells: outdoor only and disclosed in the listing (Airbnb bans all indoor cameras). One covering the driveway at most; none looking into the pool yard or the courtyard, where guests expect privacy. A spare Cat6 point under the front soffit allows for one later.
