Ubiquiti Unifi Access Ultra - SETUP & ENTERPRISE ACCESS

[@litchadechonde9034]

I loved your detailed explanation about the device

[@home.network.solutions]

I'm glad it helped. Thanks for watching!

[@jakobholzner]

Nice explanation. Really curious how it works with NFC Access in Apple Wallet 11:21

[@mullany]

Really interested in whether or not you could use the Push to Open terminals to place an emergency override switch combo?

[@home.network.solutions]

It would be better to go straight to the lock than the reader. Too much at stake to rely on reader in my view. You can activate emergency via the app or desktop which will open all door or lock all doors depending on the requirement.

[@jasperbenedicttang]

Is the video for NFC Access to Apple Wallet available already?

[@home.network.solutions]

No unfortunatley not.

[@idjpashka]

What gage wire are you using to connect all the electrical connections?

[@usseg]

When I used to install access control, door strikes used 18/2 (stranded) as they are 12/24v but pull some amps and readers we used 22/4 or 22/6 (stranded) depending on the complexity of the reader.

So I'm a little confused now with the electric lock option. We have a metal frame glass door out front that doesn't have a latch (like the little thingy that you'd turn a door knob to unhook the door from the plate/frame to open it). It's just a handle and you pull or push to open the door, and it has a lock that latches when we close up for the day. We want to do an electric lock but not sure if that would work in our door situation. Would the electric lock make the lock itself turn to lock/unlock as we push the Exit button (or swipe to enter), if that makes sense..? Or would we have to use the magnetic lock option since there's no door latch thingy?

[@home.network.solutions]

It sounds like a maglock would be a better option.

[@usseg]

Sounds like an aluminum storefront door. Generally, we dont recommend putting access control on front doors to stores as you want someone to walk over and lock the thing every day and stores always have doors not designed for electronic controls. If you really really want to add electronic controls you would have to go with the maglock. Just remember to make sure you replace the battery back up every 2-3 years or the mag will let go during a power outage. At a college I worked at we had to electrify all doors for centralized lockdowns so I know there are needs. We replaced all the doors where only a mag would work though as we knew battery maintenance was not going to keep up.

[@1stGruhn]

can you import users with existing cards? Or do you have to make each one every time?

[@home.network.solutions]

Do you mean users who have access to another site with Unifi Access? You can have a user with one card able to access multiple sites but you need Identity Enterprise to do this.

[@adrianryb]

Can you assign people multiple doors? If so, how can they open multiple doors from the app without opening them all at once?

[@home.network.solutions]

Yes you can. They appear separately in the app so you can view them and open them independently.

[@marius-co]

Thanks for the introduction to Access Ultra. It looks great on first sight, but isn't this thing one great security issue? The door buzzer cable must be routed to the front of the door, so unauthorized door opening only requires the removal of the access reader (with the small metal bolt) and short-circuiting the opener contact, for which a paper clip is sufficient. All in all, with a little practice, the door can be opened without authorization in less than 30 seconds without causing any damage or leaving a trace? Even with a built-in sabotage contact for the opener contact, i would only need a power bank for the 12v cables of the buzzer.

[@1stGruhn]

yeah, I would never put it on a perimeter door. It would be fine for an indoor door where security isn't all that important: mostly just for user history or a passage door. Not having a door sensor either is a no go for security: you'd never know if the door was forced or held open.

[@home.network.solutions]

That's a good point. The only thing I would say is this is designed for an internal door, probably in a location where you have already had to enter through a more secure model like the G2 Pro or Intercom. Thanks for watching.

[@jsflood]

Great video, tnx for sharing. I do think it is a safety feature not being able unlock the door if the app is not running, what if someone steals your phone? Question, does it unlock the door if the phone is locked while the app is running? 🤔 I got me the G2 pro kit, I could have saved a bit if I known this device existed 😹

[@ImAnAutie]

Same risks as if you lost traditional keys, only you have the ability to remotely revoke access.

[@robertm1112]

whats not mentioned in the video is that this should be in a low security area, because the lock control wires are easily accessible.

[@usseg]

@@robertm1112 There is an audible alarm that goes off if the device is pulled from the wall, but ya they even say it is for things like a break room or shared office space etc.

[@switz11]

This really needs a keypad on it. I would have these all over my house if it did. i don't want to have to use an app or card to get into my house.

[@home.network.solutions]

They aren’t really designed for home use. This would normally be used commercially where cards make sense.

[@markgrimshaw2716]

A keypad would eventually show wear on the numbers, cutting down the options that a bad actor would need to try. NFC, phone or watch app is a great idea. That being said, I don’t want a smart lock in charge of my home security. Staying with multipoint lock and key! As the presenter shows; this is designed for enterprise usage, but I can see the appeal it will have to some home users.

[@chazprouk]

Just get a G2 Pro then?

[@paybax]

They offer the Reader Flex
