Challenges

  • No existing camera system to protect property or monitor daily activity

  • Paying for two separate Internet connections to keep business networks isolated

  • Unstable and inconsistent Wi-Fi performance

  • Lack of centralized management or visibility into network devices

  • Need for a professional-grade solution that could scale with growth while improving speed and reliability

ZATIS Solution

ZATIS IT & Cybersecurity designed and implemented a complete network and security transformation, delivering a faster, smarter, and more secure environment that reduced costs while elevating performance.

Core Upgrades

  • Network Segmentation & Consolidation

    Previously, Element Property Solutions was paying for two separate Internet services to maintain separation between business operations. ZATIS eliminated the need for duplicate services by virtually segmenting the networks using advanced VLAN configuration — maintaining security and compliance while cutting unnecessary costs.

  • Fiber Internet Transition

    ZATIS coordinated an upgrade to Metronet Fiber, providing dramatically faster speeds and more stable connectivity. Metronet proved to be an outstanding partner, offering exceptional service quality and competitive pricing — a huge win for ongoing performance.

  • Smart Security Implementation

    Installed Ubiquiti UniFi AI 360 cameras across the property — the company’s first security camera system. These AI-powered, high-resolution cameras now provide panoramic visibility, remote monitoring, and event-based recording for complete peace of mind.

  • Professional Infrastructure Build-Out

    Organized the entire network with a wall-mounted rack, patch panel, UPS power protection, and a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro to centralize management, routing, and security — all neatly installed and labeled for ongoing support.


Implementation Highlights

  • Consolidated two Internet connections into one secure, virtualized network

  • Upgraded to Metronet Fiber for ultra-fast, reliable speeds

  • Installed the company’s first complete camera system for site-wide visibility

  • Delivered a clean, labeled, and future-ready rack and cabling system

  • Enabled secure remote access and centralized management across all systems


Results

Cost Savings — One Internet connection instead of two, thanks to smart network segmentation

Faster Performance — Upgraded to fiber Internet with outstanding reliability

New Layer of Security — Installed a full smart camera system for the first time

Centralized Management — Unified dashboard for all network and security devices

Client Feedback

“The new setup has been a game-changer. The network is faster, more secure, and far simpler to manage. The cameras give us visibility we never had before, and the entire installation looks fantastic. ZATIS took care of every detail.”
