UniFi Connect Brings Every Smart Device Into One Managed Platform.

Most "smart" business devices create another app, another login, another vendor to call when something breaks. UniFi Connect is different — it's the same platform as your cameras, Wi-Fi, and access control. One portal, one login, one support relationship.

📺

Digital Signage & Displays

21.5" 4K commercial displays that show any content you choose — promotions, menus, announcements, schedules — scheduled and updated remotely without touching the screen.

📞

Video Intercoms

Two-way video intercom at your entrance, connected to your phone from anywhere. See who's at the door, speak with them, and unlock it — whether you're in the building or across town.

🚗

EV Charging

Level 2 EV charging stations for customer or employee use — with authentication, session logging, and optional payment integration. Managed through the same platform as everything else.

Automations & Schedules

Trigger actions across your entire UniFi ecosystem. Door opens → lights activate. After hours → displays turn off. Access denied → camera records nearby area. Set it once, runs automatically.

🔒

Connected to Access Control

Intercom calls can be answered and doors unlocked from the same app as access control. Displays can show occupancy status. Every smart device coordinates with your door and gate systems.

📷

Camera Mode on Displays

UniFi Connect Display can show live or recorded Protect camera feeds — turning a lobby display into a live view of your parking lot, entrance, or loading dock.

UniFi Connect Hardware — What Each Device Does.

Digital Signage

UniFi Connect Display

A 21.5" commercial-grade 4K display designed for business environments. It runs on PoE — one cable for power and data, no separate power outlet needed. Content is managed remotely through the UniFi portal: images, video, announcements, and schedules pushed to any display from anywhere.

The display also supports a camera mode — it can show live UniFi Protect camera feeds, turning it into a lobby monitoring screen, security awareness display, or entrance view for your reception area.

Common Uses
Lobby display showing promotions, hours, and announcements
Menu board for restaurants or cafes — updated remotely without reprinting
Conference room displays showing meeting schedules
Warehouse or break room showing safety reminders and announcements
Reception security screen showing Protect camera feeds
Video Intercom

UniFi Intercom & Intercom Viewer

A commercial video doorbell and intercom system designed to work natively with UniFi Access and Protect. When a visitor presses the intercom button, it rings the UniFi app on any authorized device — phone, tablet, or desktop — with live two-way video. The person answering can speak with the visitor and unlock the door with a single tap.

The Intercom Viewer is a dedicated indoor display unit that provides a persistent view of the intercom camera and a one-touch answer button — ideal for reception desks or front-of-house staff who need to monitor the entrance without a phone.

Delivery access — answer from a phone, see what's being delivered, remotely unlock
After-hours entry for authorized visitors or contractors

EV Charging

UniFi EV Station

Level 2 EV charging for customer or employee parking. Managed through the UniFi platform — session logging, usage reports, and optional payment processing built in. Authentication ensures only authorized users (or paying customers) can activate a session.

As EV adoption increases across Colorado, having managed charging becomes a differentiator — especially for retail, hospitality, and office businesses where parking amenities matter to customers and employees alike.

Common Uses
Customer EV charging as a business amenity (retail, restaurant, hospitality)
Employee fleet charging for service vehicles
Paid public charging in your parking lot
Compliance with local EV-ready parking requirements

Common Questions

Smart Building Automation -- Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of smart devices can Alpine IT install?
Alpine IT installs the full UniFi Connect lineup -- digital signage displays, video intercoms, EV charging stations, and building automation controllers -- all managed from the same dashboard as your cameras, Wi-Fi, and access control.
Does smart automation require a monthly subscription?
No. UniFi Connect is locally managed with no cloud subscription required. You own the hardware and manage it through your local UniFi portal.
Can smart devices integrate with my existing cameras and access control?
Yes. UniFi Connect integrates natively with UniFi Protect cameras and UniFi Access -- so a door intercom can show a camera feed, or an access event can trigger a display or building automation.
Can the system automate lighting or HVAC based on occupancy?
Yes. UniFi supports automations triggered by access events and occupancy -- such as activating lighting zones when a door opens or adjusting environmental controls based on building occupancy. Alpine IT designs these automations as part of the installation.
