10 cameras. Nine are PoE and one is Wi-Fi (the doorbell). Out of the 10 cameras, 6 are 4K resolution, 3 are 2K resolution, and 1 is 1080p resolution. Recording is 24/7 and does not depend on a subscription. Everything is recorded locally and accessible from anywhere in the world via mobile app or website. It currently records the last 21 days via the 8TB storage installed, but the system is capable of many times more than this. Because the cameras are wired for power and data, there are no batteries to charge and no monthly fee.
10' × 12'. Shed has electrical and a dedicated 20A GFCI circuit. Shed also has a Cat6 Ethernet port. This can be used to extend Wi-Fi with another access point or be used for a security camera.
Alerts when the shed door is opened or closed. Also tracks temperature and humidity.
An access point has been placed outside to extend Wi-Fi across the patio and the yard.
Dedicated 20A GFCI outlet (shared with shed) for a future pergola. This outlet is weatherproof and located to the left of the shed. The electrical for a pergola or lighting is already run.

Each room and common space has an Ethernet port connected by Cat6 cables. Wired connections are faster and more stable than Wi-Fi and do not degrade as more devices join the network.
7 Wi-Fi access points installed throughout the home and property. Each is wired back rather than repeating a signal, so coverage holds up in the garage, the yard, and the shed.
Every room and common space has pre-installed wiring for ceiling speakers. All speaker wires terminate in the back of the small closet in Bedroom 2 on the first floor, so whole-home audio can be added from one central point.
Most rooms and common spaces have Lutron smart lighting and fans. The switches also work as ordinary switches.
Every toilet is ADA height, and each has an outlet placed beside it for heated seats and/or bidets. The toilet in the primary bathroom already has a heated bidet seat installed. The outlets mean any of the others can be upgraded without electrical work.
Front door, backdoor, and garage door have door sensors to alert when a door is opened or closed. This happens through Ecobee, so it works alongside the thermostats and presence detectors rather than as a separate app.
The kitchen runs on Lutron smart lighting. It is dimmable, schedulable, and can be controlled from a phone or by voice.
