CURRENT PROJECTS Retired couple (retired electrical contractor) 100% hardwired both security w cameras & network Tech couple w teens (chip design mgr) wireless security, 100% network no cameras + 7 extra conduit runs Tech couple under 30 (design & finance) hardwired security, 9 camera runs, full network w several repeater points SECURITY NOTES At the point we will remove security prewire from our proposal templates as the big wireless providers have installed in 3 of last 4 completions, and 1 of 2 in process. Each of the wireless installs required visible to the eye white sensors on all exterior doors which some might find surprising and tacky in custom homes Typical wireless contact install. The lower photo is an 84" x 120" entry pair for scale. What bothered me most is the salesperson told the client they would use the prewired contacts and prewire to control pads he had just installed and paid for. An hour later the install mgr made flimsy excuses why they couldn't (but was able to use in a prior build). Client paid $1600 to the wireless company. NETWORK Home uses a hardwire camera system hardwired network w repeaters. All clients are set up to work from home using their cell phones, so high quality wireless network is also critical. MISC "Smart" aftermarket doorbells w cameras don't connect the same as typical door bell buttons. Typically the units need an internet provider installed, up and running and the transformers in the doorbell system need to be modified, replaced, etc. Cryptic translated install instructions. Similar with some smart thermostats.

Can't see your drawing, out of focus. But, I would put in several hard-wired Ethernet points and one central WiFi router. You can always add more using one or more of the Ethernet ports.

My company installs cameras. Virtually all wireless cameras are less than perfect. Install wired POE cameras if at all possible and you'll never regret it. With that said, Reolink is pretty good and fairly reliable. Just remember most wireless cameras only record on what they determine to be motion. Ones with some kind of AI to determine if thats a person, dog, etc is very important if you plan to use notifications to alert you of activity. Personally I would not use cameras like Ring or Nest inside my house as they are too prone to data collection IMHO. Stick with companies that do JUST cameras and are not owned by a Google or Amazon type company.

So first of all does ANYONE know of some type of known wifi issue with Daikin controllers or is it all BS? and Secondly what are my options for getting this corrected? Mini split type units regardless of brand name will have their challenges. These are almost always proprietary controlled communicating systems. What you have is specialty equipment, with add ons in the form of proprietary zone system. It wouldn't matter if the brand was Lennox, Trane or Carrier or some other brand--- proprietary gives you less choice forces you down a certain path. Getting it corrected: Your installing contractor. It's specialty equipment and if I had to guess 9 out 10 companies you call out there will probably tell you to call the installing contractor. It's their baby as they say. If it was older and out of manufacture warranty period? most will probably tell you to replace it with something else. Proprietary anything doesn't give you many options. While someone (other than your installing HVAC contractor) "could" look into fixing the the problems you have with your system... who is going to pay them? You already paid 28k so I'm sure you're in the camp of no more money? --- that put's you back to your installing contractor. The manufacture warranty only covers the part cost nothing else. If something was done improperly that falls on installing contractor. They were paid. I doubt if you called Daikin they would tell you any different. High end communicating equipment such as this is a different beast to get warranty parts for. It involves in many instances getting approval before hand. Those parts aren't cheap and so getting what is commonly known as "parts changer" for these types of systems -- uh no. This is another way that HVAC contractors have to keeping you all to themselves, unless a competitor that sells the same brand, same system is willing to look at it for? What does an outsider have to gain for a system you paid 28K to someone else that doesn't work right? Daikin isn't paying anyone to do it. This is why service after the sale is most important part to any HVAC system. I service the Katy, Texas area.
