Replace physical keys and aging fob systems with mobile credentials, keycard access, and full audit logs — all managed from one UniFi dashboard. No more locksmith calls. No more lost-fob headaches.
UniFi Access transforms every door in your building into a smart entry point. Each reader supports HID keycard, RFID fob, NFC smartphone tap, and Bluetooth mobile credentials — all in one device. Credentials are managed centrally and can be revoked in seconds.
Every door event — entry, exit, denied access, door held open — is logged with timestamp and user identity. When incidents happen, you have an airtight audit trail ready for management, board review, or law enforcement.

The brain of every UniFi Access installation. Controls up to 4 door readers, manages locking hardware, and communicates with the UniFi OS controller. PoE-powered, DIN rail mountable.
Slim, weather-resistant reader for entry doors, garage gates, and side entrances. Supports HID, RFID, NFC, and BLE tap. Backlit keypad optional for PIN-based backup access.
Full-featured reader with a 1.3" LCD display showing the user's name and access status on every tap. Ideal for lobbies, amenity spaces, and high-visibility entry points in luxury buildings.
Residents use their iPhone or Android as their key via NFC tap or Bluetooth proximity. Issue new access instantly from the admin dashboard. When a tenant moves out, revoke their credential in 10 seconds. No lock changes. No locksmith. No cost.
Every access event is logged: who, which door, exact timestamp, credential type. Export to PDF for board reports, insurance claims, or NYPD documentation. Search by date range, user, or door in seconds.
Issue temporary access codes for contractors, housekeepers, and dog walkers — restricted to specific doors and time windows. Access auto-expires when the window closes. No need to track down physical keys after visits.
Set recurring access schedules per user or per group. Your super gets 24/7 full building access. The gym cleaning crew gets Tuesday and Thursday 6–8am, utility room only. Service rules are enforced automatically — no one has to remember to revoke.
