Hello everyone.
For our new build (single-family house), I am planning a network cabinet. A total of 13 Cat7 cables will terminate in the utility room.
I would like to store the router, switch, patch panel, and a power strip inside the cabinet.
The provider will supply a FritzBox 7590 AX. In my shopping cart, I currently have a 10" switch, 10" patch panel, and 10" power strip. What wall-mounted cabinet would you recommend? I am currently considering a 10" cabinet with 6U of rack space.
We will also have outdoor cameras and a doorbell with PoE. I would prefer to store the data centrally instead of on the camera’s SD card. What kind of system would you suggest for this? The hardware should ideally also fit inside the cabinet.
Best regards

I approached it differently and simply used a 5-module sub-distribution board. One of the modules is set up as a multimedia panel, featuring 2 x 12-port keystone patch panels, below which are 4 mounting plates for devices (in our case: 1 x TP-Link Omada ER7212PC router/WiFi controller/PoE switch, 1 x cable modem, and later an Omada switch if we want to utilize all the Ethernet ports). At the very bottom is the power strip for the devices.
Most people advise against this, but I find the solution much neater and more compact—admittedly, we chose and implemented it this way due to limited space. Naturally, it also has disadvantages; larger devices won’t fit in there.

At some point, wireless charging will be available (hopefully the house will last longer than combustion engines are allowed ;-)We’ll see :-)i_b_n_a_n schrieb:
Better to plan for an outdoor (PoE) Wi-Fi access point from the start (Unifi?) -> laptop on the patio table / home office? Guest Wi-Fi outside, etc.Where would be the best place to position the access point?Here are my thoughts on the property for the cameras. At the front, the doorbell camera, then instead of just at NW and SE, a third camera on the SW side as well. This would cover most of the property.

Be careful with what the cameras might record outside your property. Even if you assure your neighbors that you will "black out" those areas, it can still lead to disputes.Thanks for the tip, I’m aware of that.Rhyem86 schrieb:

Here are my thoughts regarding the property for the cameras. At the front, the doorbell camera, then instead of only at the northwest and southeast corners, add a third camera at the southwest. That way, most of the property would be covered.

(Possibly a false sense of security; attracting the interest of thieves; maintenance effort and additional costs) Effective building security must be well planned and consistently implemented. Just having a network camera won’t achieve much. Just a small thought to keep in mind.

Effective building security needs to be well planned and consistently implemented.
Installing just a simple camera achieves little.
Take this as a small suggestion to think about. Thanks for the suggestion :-)
We have already had a consultation with the police and received advice on all components of the house, including the property’s lighting and also cameras.
