- Plan cable routes
- Check lock type
- Confirm power supply requirements
- Clarify app/cloud fees
Apartments and businesses
Shared buildings can involve approvals and existing systems.
- Check common property rules
- Coordinate with building manager
- Avoid changing shared systems without permission
