There’s a lot of tech out there claiming to be “smart”.
Very little of it actually feels considered.
At DASH Symons, we’re constantly reviewing new systems, platforms and hardware - not just for how they perform on paper, but for how they integrate, scale and actually live inside a home or building. The kind of technology that doesn’t just solve today’s problems, but still feels right years down the track.
Right now, UniFi is setting the pace.
Not because it’s flashy for the sake of it - but because it brings together security, networking and control into one beautifully engineered ecosystem that just works. And looks good doing it.
What sets UniFi apart isn’t one standout product - it’s the way everything connects.
CCTV. Intercoms. Doorbells. Access control. Alarm systems. WiFi. Networking.
All managed through a single, unified platform.
No juggling apps. No clunky third-party integrations. No Frankenstein systems stitched together over time.
UniFi is a full-service ecosystem, designed to connect everything in your home or building into one intelligent suite - accessible from your smartphone, tablet or desktop, wherever you are.
That level of cohesion is rare. And once you experience it, there’s no going back.
Let’s start with CCTV - because UniFi has quietly turned surveillance into something far more refined than most people expect.
The latest G6 Dome Cameras are a perfect example. With high-res imaging and housed in sleek, vandal-resistant domes, they deliver exceptional clarity.
Unlike bland industrial security cameras, they’re equally at home in a luxury residence, a retail environment or a high-traffic commercial space.
UniFi’s next-generation PTZ cameras take things even further. Intelligent tracking and long-range detail capture mean these cameras don’t just watch - they respond. Ideal for large sites, open areas and environments where static coverage isn’t enough.
And for everyday entry points - front doors, side gates, lobbies and access points - the G6 Entry lineup has got every entrance covered. Clean design, reliable low-light performance and seamless integration into the broader system - these cameras are deceptively powerful for their size and simplicity.
High-quality cameras demand serious backend performance, and UniFi delivers that with the UNVR Instant.
This isn’t just storage - it’s the backbone of the entire video ecosystem. Designed for fast access, reliable recording and smooth playback across multiple cameras, the UNVR Instant keeps everything responsive and centralised without adding complexity.
For homeowners, that means effortless access to footage whenever you need it.
For commercial and strata environments, it means scalable, enterprise-grade performance without enterprise-grade headaches.
Security isn’t just about cameras. It’s about how people move through a space.
UniFi’s approach to intercoms, doorbells and access control brings visibility and control together in a way that feels intuitive, not intrusive. See who’s at the door. Grant access remotely. Review activity history. Manage credentials. All from the same interface you use to manage your cameras and network.
Even better? UniFi Access integrates seamlessly with Apple Wallet - so doors can be unlocked with a simple tap of an iPhone or Apple Watch, even in Express Mode without unlocking the device. It continues to work for hours after a phone battery runs flat, so access isn’t lost when you need it most.
Layer in UniFi’s alarm and security systems, and you get a platform that understands context - not just triggers. It’s smart security that feels designed, not bolted on.
Of course, none of this works without rock-solid connectivity - and UniFi’s WiFi 7 is one of the most exciting developments we’ve seen this year.
With improved handling of high device counts, better performance for IoT and legacy devices, and dramatically lower latency, UniFi 7 isn’t just about speed. It’s about reliability at scale.
The expanded lineup - including discreet in-wall options and accessible, high-performance access points - makes it easier than ever to design networks that disappear into the background while powering everything from streaming and work-from-home setups to security systems and automation.
When WiFi is done properly, you stop thinking about it altogether. That’s the goal.
There’s an understated confidence to UniFi hardware.
Clean lines. Thoughtful materials. Devices that look intentional - not like afterthoughts. Whether it’s mounted on a ceiling, wall or exterior surface, UniFi gear feels considered and architectural, not technical clutter.
For us, that matters. Because great technology shouldn’t detract from a space - it should quietly enhance it.
If you’re thinking about security, connectivity or smart systems - whether for a home, a development or a commercial property - UniFi represents some of the most exciting, well-engineered technology available right now.
And when it’s designed, installed and supported properly, it doesn’t just meet expectations - it raises them.
If you’re curious about what a fully integrated UniFi system could look like in your space, that’s where we come in.
