re: General security camera discussion (was "Unifi Protect security cameras")

UniFi Protect G3 Flex 4 @ $79 = $316
CK+ (w/1TB) $199
8 port PoE switch $80
Total = $595
If I just currently have a basic WiFi network at my house (AmpliFi instant) but wanted to go this route for a camera system (say 3ea G3’s and 1ea doorbell cam to start) would I only need to buy the CK+ and the PoE switch to work on my existing network?
The data sheet for the CK+ shows a Unifi Gateway Security pro (DHCP Server) in the chain. Is this required?

quote:Yes, the Protect software runs on the CK+ (or UNVR, or UDM-Pro), and the cameras are powered by a PoE switch. As long as the CK+ and switch/cameras are on the same network, Protect will find them and it will work.
would I only need to buy the CK+ and the PoE switch to work on my existing network?
quote:Definitely NOT required, that's just marketing material. No other part of your network has to be Ubiquiti other than the cameras and CK+. The PoE switch can be any brand as the cameras support 802.3af (I usually use this TP-Link 8 port because it's pretty cheap).
