Certified Installer

Technology partners

We work with four manufacturers — chosen because each is best-in-class for its job, and because their kit talks to the others cleanly. No mystery hardware, no proprietary lock-ins, no orphaned platforms.

UniFi
The unified networking platform.

UniFi is a single integrated stack — switching, routing, Wi-Fi, CCTV, access control — all administered through one controller. We use UniFi Network, UniFi Protect, UniFi Access, and UniFi Talk so the entire site lives behind one login and one set of cables.

What it means for you
  • One pane of glass — no jumping between vendor apps
  • Remote monitoring & alerts, included free
  • Hardware widely available; no proprietary lock-in
  • Wi-Fi 6E / Wi-Fi 7 access points for dense deployments
Paxton
Access control, simply done.

Paxton10 is a cloud-managed access & video platform; Net2 is the field-proven on-premises system used across UK schools, offices, and industrial sites. We specify, install, and program both — readers, mag-locks, gates, intercoms, and the full audit trail.

What it means for you
  • Card, fob, smartphone, or biometric credentials
  • Time-and-attendance reporting out of the box
  • Scales from one door to multi-site enterprise
  • Made in the UK — fast spares, real phone support
HikVision
Professional IP surveillance.

HikVision builds professional-grade IP CCTV — turret, bullet, dome, and PTZ cameras with AI analytics (line-crossing, object detection, ANPR). We deploy them on dedicated camera VLANs with on-site NVRs and encrypted remote viewing.

What it means for you
  • 4K and AI-equipped models for ANPR & detection
  • On-site NVR storage with 30–90 day retention
  • Encrypted remote view from anywhere
  • Integrates cleanly with UniFi or Paxton platforms
Connectix
The cable that everything sits on.

Every network is only as good as the copper it runs on. Connectix is a UK-manufactured structured cabling system — CAT6, CAT6a, CAT7 — with 25-year warranties on certified installations. We terminate to Connectix patch panels and faceplates so the work is testable, labelled, and warranted.

What it means for you
  • 25-year channel warranty on certified installs
  • CAT6a future-proofs for 10GbE in the rack
  • UK-made — shorter lead times, fewer counterfeits
  • Patch panels, faceplates & rack frames all matched
Our process

From quote
to sign-off.

Five steps. Documented at every stage. The same process whether it's a flat in Solihull or a multi-floor office in Birmingham.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    We listen first. What's the site, what's the pain, what's the budget?

  2. 02

    Site survey & scoping

    On-site walk-through, signal testing, infrastructure review. UK-wide.

  3. 03

    Showcase & quote

    Network diagrams, wireless heat maps, itemised proposal. No upsell.

  4. 04

    Installation

    Cleanly terminated cabling, configured hardware, documentation handed over.

  5. 05

    Support

    Monitoring, alerts, and contracted support. We don't disappear after sign-off.

Frequently asked

The questions
we hear most.

Can't find your question? Email info@netlayer.co.uk and we'll come back the same day.

01
Do you provide site surveys?

Yes — every install starts with an on-site walk-through, signal testing, and a written report. Surveys are free for projects in the West Midlands; chargeable elsewhere and credited against the install.

+
02
Do you work with small businesses?

Most of our work is small and mid-sized business — sole-traders, professional services, light-industrial. We scope projects from a single AP up to multi-floor structured cabling.

+
03
Can you upgrade existing cabling?

Yes. We audit existing CAT5e/6 runs, test certify, terminate properly, and add new drops where coverage is short. Where the existing cable can't carry what you need, we re-pull cleanly.

+
04
Do you supply hardware?

Yes. Certified UniFi, Paxton, and HikVision installer. Hardware can be supplied or you can provide your own — we'll commission either way.

+
05
Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes. Block-hour contracts, retainer agreements, and 24/7 automated monitoring on UniFi sites. We can also act as MSP-subcontractor for IT providers.

+
06
What areas do you cover?

We work nationwide across the United Kingdom. Our HQ is in the West Midlands, but we mobilise to site for installs, surveys, and project work across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
