SuperLink Sensor Mesh · 4 Gateways

Four UniFi SuperLink Gateways distribute wireless sensor coverage across Del Sol Valley — SL GW 1F Office, SL GW 2F Spa, SL GW GF L-L and SL GW GF Majlis. Each gateway is wired to the nearest UniFi switch via Fast Ethernet PoE and bridges battery-powered UP Sense sensors (motion, door, leak, temperature, humidity) into the UniFi Protect ecosystem alongside the two G6 Bullet cameras and 31-channel Hikvision Surveillance VLAN.

Del Sol Valley IT cabinet — AI-generated artistic interpretation of the smart villa network rack
Smart Villa Rack · Architectural Visualization

The Del Sol Valley Rack, Reimagined as Architecture.

An AI-generated artistic interpretation of the Del Sol Valley smart-villa cabinet — the same 42U enclosure documented in Layers 0–4 above, rendered in clean architectural illustration. Each element in the visualization maps to a real component of the live deployment: the top patch panels and switch banks represent the UDM Pro core and USW Pro Max aggregation tier, the multi-view surveillance monitor depicts the 33-camera Hikvision + UniFi Protect estate, the NVR module renders the Hikvision recording deck, and the stacked chassis at the base illustrate the Eaton 5PX UPS bank safeguarding the entire stack.

This is not a literal rack diagram — it’s a brand-aligned reimagining of the cabinet as an architectural object: structured, illuminated, residential in scale, designed to live quietly inside a villa rather than a data centre. The ambient air-purifier in frame is no accident — it mirrors the real installation environment, where the rack sits beside an indoor air-quality unit in the technical room.
