Lost keys, copied badges and complicated access schedules are a problem for offices and multi-tenant buildings across Los Angeles. UniFi Access Control replaces keys and cards with programmable credentials, works with UniFi WiFi and Protect, and has no monthly fees.
1. Security
UniFi Access Control replaces traditional keys and cards with programmable credentials. Access can be granted or revoked remotely. A production studio, for example, can disable a former contractor’s access without changing locks or collecting keys. The system logs every entry attempt, so property managers can see who came in and when.
2. Integration with UniFi
Access Control works with UniFi WiFi and UniFi Protect cameras. A retail store can link door events with video footage, and IT can manage everything from one dashboard instead of coordinating several vendors.
3. No monthly fees
Many access control systems charge a subscription for cloud management or support. UniFi Access is self-hosted: you pay once for the hardware and installation, then run it without recurring costs. For a property manager with several buildings, that adds up.
4. Room to grow
You can start with one door and add more, as many entry points as you need. The system supports multiple access levels and schedules, so employees or tenants can have different permissions. That suits multi-tenant buildings and mixed-use developments where access needs vary.
5. Remote management
Administrators can grant temporary access to a delivery person or maintenance worker without being on-site. The interface works from a phone, so changes take minutes, which helps when traffic and distance make site visits slow.
6. Audit trails
UniFi Access records every entry and exit. Businesses that handle sensitive data or valuable assets can use those logs as a record during audits.
7. Installation
Gbit Tech labels every cable and keeps the install clean, with structured cabling behind it so later upgrades and additions do not need rewiring.
Getting started
- Count your entry points and decide what level of access control you need, including future doors.
- Hire a licensed installer. Gbit Tech LLC is a C-7 licensed contractor that works to local building codes. We carry liability insurance and can issue certificates of insurance.
- Plan the integration if you already use UniFi WiFi or Protect cameras.
- Train your staff on the remote management features, so access changes happen quickly.
