Physical Access Control

Control Who Gets In —
From Any Door, Any Location.

A key under the mat or a code on the wall isn't access control — it's a liability. Alpine IT installs UniFi Access commercial door systems with seven unlock methods, full audit logs, camera integration, and remote management built in from day one.

The Problem with Keys

Physical Keys Give You No Visibility, No Control, and No Audit Trail.

When an employee leaves, how many keys are out there? Who has a copy? Can you tell when someone entered at 11pm? Can you revoke access the moment someone is terminated — without rekeying your entire building?

Traditional key-based access creates gaps that grow with your business. Shared codes get passed around. Lost keycards from legacy systems require expensive re-programming. And when something goes wrong, you have no record of who was where and when.

UniFi Access eliminates these problems. Every entry attempt — successful or failed — is logged. Access can be granted or revoked instantly from a phone. Schedules restrict access by time. And the system integrates directly with your cameras so you can see who triggered an event the moment it happens.

UL 294-Compliant. UniFi Access hardware meets UL 294, the standard for access control units — the same certification required by commercial insurance and compliance frameworks.

What You Get With UniFi Access
Complete Audit Logs

Every entry, every exit, every failed attempt — timestamped and tied to a specific credential or person.

Instant Remote Access Control

Grant, revoke, or modify access for any person from anywhere — immediately, from your phone.

Time-Based Schedules

Contractors only during business hours. Cleaning crew on Tuesday and Thursday evenings only. Granular scheduling with zero manual effort.

No Monthly Subscription

UniFi Access is locally hosted. No per-door fees, no cloud subscription required to manage your own building.

Seven Ways to Enter

One System. Every Credential Type Your Business Needs.

UniFi Access supports more unlock methods than any competitor in its class — without requiring separate hardware for each. You choose which methods are active per door, per user, per time of day.

🔑 NFC / Keycard Standard tap-to-enter. Works with UniFi-native cards or compatible MIFARE credentials.
👁 Face Unlock On-device AI facial recognition — no cloud required. Fast, accurate, touchless entry.
📱 Mobile App Tap your phone. Bluetooth or NFC. No card to forget or lose.
🔢 PIN Code Numeric PIN — unique per user, so you know exactly who entered, not just "someone with the code."
QR Code Time-limited QR credentials for visitors, contractors, and delivery access without a keycard.
Handwave Fully touchless entry. Ideal for server rooms, medical spaces, or hands-free environments.
👆 Touch Pass Fingerprint — biometric authentication without a card or phone required.
Mix & Match Any combination active per door, per person, per time — centrally configured from one dashboard.
UniFi Hardware Lineup

Readers, Hubs, and Controllers for Every Door Type.

Alpine IT selects the right hardware combination for your specific entry points — standard doors, server room doors, gates, elevators, and enterprise-scale deployments.

Most Common

UA-Reader-Pro / G2 Pro

The standard commercial door reader. Supports NFC, face unlock, PIN, mobile app, and handwave. Built-in display shows door status and access feedback. Suitable for most front-door and office entry applications.

NFC + Face + PIN Built-In Display PoE Powered
Compact Option

UA-Reader-Lite

A smaller form factor reader for interior doors, server room access, or secondary entry points where space is a constraint. Supports NFC and mobile credentials.

NFC + Mobile Compact Form Interior Doors
Gate & Elevator

UA-Hub-Gate / UA-Hub-Elevator

Purpose-built controllers for parking gates, exterior access gates, and elevator floor access. The Gate Hub integrates directly with UniFi Protect cameras for LPR-triggered gate automation — vehicle recognized, gate opens.

LPR Integration Gate Automation Elevator Floor Control
Enterprise Scale

UA-Hub-Enterprise

For large facilities with high door counts. Supports more simultaneous connections, higher-volume access events, and integration with larger Protect camera deployments. Scales to multi-building campuses.

High Door Count Multi-Building Camera Integration
Camera Integration

Access Events Linked Directly to Camera Footage.

UniFi Access and UniFi Protect are designed to work together. When an access event occurs — successful entry, failed attempt, or door forced open — the system can automatically pull the corresponding camera clip.

You don't have to scrub through footage looking for a specific timestamp. The access log links directly to the video. One click shows you who was at the door, from the camera positioned right above it.

For parking and gate applications, UniFi Protect's License Plate Recognition (LPR) can trigger the access hub automatically — a registered vehicle pulls up, the camera reads the plate, and the gate opens. No keycard, no phone required.

One Portal, One Login. Access control events, camera footage, network status, and Wi-Fi — all managed from a single UniFi dashboard. No switching between apps or systems.

Auto Clip Pull

Access events automatically link to the camera recording at that exact moment.

🚗

LPR Gate Trigger

License plate recognition opens gates for registered vehicles automatically.

🚨

Forced Door Alerts

Forced entry or propped doors trigger instant alerts with simultaneous camera capture.
