What We Install

Access control that scales with your building.

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.

What makes UniFi Access different.

Mobile Credentials — Zero Physical Keys

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.

Audit Logs & Incident Reporting

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.

Visitor & Contractor Management

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.

Scheduled Access Policies

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.

How UniFi Access stacks up.

Most NYC buildings are still running 10–20 year old key fob systems. Here's what the upgrade actually changes.

Stop paying for locksmith calls and lost fobs.

A 48-unit building eliminates an average of $1,200/year in key costs alone — plus hours of property manager time every month.
