Networking and IP Devices

This service reviews your current network and creates a proposal outlining a comprehensive solution for enhancing your network topology, providing flexibility to integrate various devices seamlessly. It includes options such as Network Attached Storage (NAS),  IP cameras, Star-link systems as a secondary internet provider, and a  wide range of IP-connected devices, from smart speakers and wearable to  energy meters and smart appliances. The proposal will suggest a roadmap ensuring easy device integration without network redesign, while also detailing deployment  and ongoing maintenance plans. Emphasizing security, proactive  monitoring, and regular maintenance, the proposal guarantees reliability  and efficiency in your network environment. User training and detailed  documentation further empower users to optimize their interconnected  systems effortlessly. Initial consultations are scheduled for a 2 hr duration.

Initial Household Consultation     $50

Initial Business  Consultation        $75

The initial consultation aims to assess your current  network topology and what enhancement can be made to make the current network  extensible and scalable. The proposal will consider the following items:

1. Network Setup and Configuration:

• Designing and implementing network infrastructure tailored to the client's needs.
• Configuring routers, switches, access points, and other networking equipment for optimal performance and security.
• Establishing VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) and sub-netting for segmentation and traffic isolation as necessary.

2. NAS Implementation and Management:

• Assessing storage requirements and recommending appropriate NAS solutions.
• Installing and configuring NAS devices for centralized data storage and backup.
• Setting up user access controls, permissions, and data encryption to ensure data security.
• Implementing RAID configurations for data redundancy and fault tolerance.

3. IP Camera Deployment and Surveillance Systems:

• Planning and deploying IP camera systems for surveillance and security purposes.
• Configuring cameras, NVRs (Network Video Recorders), and VMS (Video Management Software) for recording and monitoring.
• Integrating IP cameras with existing networks and security systems.
• Setting up remote access for viewing camera feeds from anywhere.

4. Device Integration and Management:

• Integrating various IoT devices, smart home devices, and other connected devices into the network.
• Configuring device communication protocols and ensuring interoperability.
• Managing firmware updates, patches, and security protocols for all networked devices.

5. Security Measures:

• Implementing firewall rules, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) to safeguard the network.
• Conducting regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential threats.
• Educating users on best practices for cybersecurity and data privacy.

6. Monitoring and Maintenance:

• Monitoring network performance, bandwidth utilization, and device health.
• Performing routine maintenance tasks such as firmware upgrades, patch management, and system backups.
• Providing proactive troubleshooting and support to address any network or device issues promptly.

7. Documentation and Training:

• Documenting network configurations, device setups, and troubleshooting procedures for reference.
• Conducting user training sessions to ensure proper usage and management of networked devices.

The Initial Consultation will furnish a customized network roadmap for your household or business, encompassing the following:

• Outlining networking recommendations, priorities, and timelines to enhance the network topology of the individual, household, or business.
• Conducting a thorough assessment of your network and applications.
• Specifying deliverables and presenting implementation schedules.
• Drafting a proposal detailing the associated costs for the networking project.
