Great improvement from the beta access equipment I got to use 5 years ago. I would have liked to see a 12 or 16-port switch with SFP uplinks, but it probably comes down to them looking at statistics of how many installs only use entry readers because of the cost and fire safety push bar exit.
question, for the door position sensor. can you use the protect all-in-one sensor from Ubiquiti. I know it functions as a door sensor as well, but i am pretty sure it's wireless. so I want to know if it actually integrates into the door access systems as well.
Regarding battery backup. Does the Enterprise access hub cache credentials so that in a power loss scenario readers still work or if Unifi Gateway is down will they not have access.
Are you able to schedule future door unlocks? For example, part of our building is always secured, but there is a large training center that outside groups can book for various events. I want to schedule the front and back doors to be open during those future events based on the date and time the space is booked.
I'm wondering if the 12v outputs can be remotely triggered and if the switch can be used to power poe cameras instead of readers. I have a project were I just need 8 12v0.5a sources to open and close valves for a few seconds and need cameras. not exactly the designed use but it would be perfect for this.
Cody did you do a video on the new PDU yet? They have a 42U PDU coming (to Canada). I just wish they would also make a 24U. I am not a big fan of the 19" PDU as I have two APC's which connect to two APC PDU's (24U each) which saves a lot of room in the rack. I will share the picture with you one of these days. :)
Did you ever install the enterprise access hub? If so, would like to see the video on that. Have an upcoming install that may benefit from using that hub.
I don’t understand this product because you have to run so many wires from there to each door. But if you use individual door controllers you only need to run one cat6 to each door and all the other wires are local to the hub/door.
This is how a lot of the other companies do access control hardware. Even more so in the past. So if you are switching to Unifi you already have all the wires run so this would help make the transition easier.
It's common for companies to run all their access controls to one place. It also helps with tampering. With multiple hubs, you would have to make sure each hub is secured. With a central system you can just put it in one secure spot.
My residence needs 6 locks. I’d much rather use a single unit than by $1200 worth of individual hubs and have to build individual battery back ups into every wall.
Where can I find more information on this? I have a client with multiple locations I would like to incorporate this system in, however, one of the location has more than eight doors. Is there somewhere that shows a complete breakdown of all components necessary for running multiple sites? The Ubiquiti website is not very clear, even with the design tool. Thanks
Is there any switch that can be added to initiate a lockdown mode. I have seen in the past that the current implementation requires a password re-entry to lockdown. In a situation where a lockdown is needed you really would not what someone fumbling with a password. Also I heard unifi was going to start charging for their "Access" per user per month did they end up not doing that. Its hard to find out from their website.
Thanks! Can you use CAT cable for the mechanical release units? So each door would need 3 CAT runs (inside reader, outside reader, release). Any anyone modernized the cable management for door access yet?
Is there a maximum time that the relays can be set to? Are the readers ip65 or weather tight. I have a business that's looking into the option to use unifi for gate/arm access.
how can I use this along with camera to give the front desk person the ability to see who is at the front door and then press a button to open the door?
The fact that the enterprise hub does not fully support 8 doors with readers in and out is very dissapointing. They should have added the extra 4 ports for this, seems almost like a design flaw, or worse, a way to force customers to buy more units. Was going to buy this because i have to use it on many doors. Could you perhaps make a tutorial/video on the best way to open doors without a reader? Thank you, love your content. Greetings from Norway.
Why would you need to have a reader to go out? You can use a simple push button to unlock a door if a magnet is used or just a door handle when it’s a strike lock.
@@ropiko In my scenario I was going to use a reader to enter and exit, that was how the access kit I bought from Ubiquiti was intended to be used. Ofcourse, using a simple switch will be easier and also be more cost effective. When you say door handle, do you mean a special type of handle that retracts the locking bolt when pushed down from the non-secure side? Do you have an example of a product like this? Thanks.
Not sure if it was mentioned and I missed it, but will the Enterprise Access Hub charge the batteries if attached? Or would I need to find a solution for that?
1- can i keep my legacy door access just a normal nfs card and also have this as a secondary reader? 2- do you need to open the app to be able to unlock the door , or will it unlock when the phone is nearby? Thanks
I would love to see a in depth unifi access tutorial from start to finish, what to do with doors, locks, readers etc.!
Would love to see a video on the actual install of an enterprise hub.
Would love to see it in action in your clients application. Looking forward to that video
Have not checked but have one that I want to install at my church. Would love to see the install video :)
Good job from Senegal west Africa

Why use low voltage like that can’t you just run a single car 6 to each door and have it branch off there!!
Basically the form factor the dream wall should have been!😅

I know that with the regular ones it does but I'm unsure about the EAH
Looks very nice!

What do you use for security alarm? Unifi does not have that yet...or do they?
Protect All-In-One Sensor

I did install it but couldnt film. We are going back to that site to do an intercom and will film it. We need to rewire the access hub anyways
Any news when access will support home key?
Would this work with standard honeywell dps sensors ? Alot of money for just that , but would in theory i be able to add 8 dps total? Thanks

Havent watched fully but like always like very clear unboxing!

Are the readers ip65 or weather tight.
I have a business that's looking into the option to use unifi for gate/arm access.
Did you upload the installation video from the business?
Nah I never did. But we have another job coming up that is using the enterprise access hub and will be filming
how many enterprise access hubs can the unifi system handle ? i want to control 24 doors
Is this ready for primetime over legacy systems?
I think so it’s a great device
how can I use this along with camera to give the front desk person the ability to see who is at the front door and then press a button to open the door?
They can have a tablet with protect running to view the camera
Question. Is there a limit to how far each door needs to be from this device for it to work efficiently?
Would have to be within Ethernet range so 100m

@@ropiko The reader out is useful for exit time so you know when someone has left site.
Does it charge the batteries?
So with this hub you can't do maglock with motion sensor request to exit?
Ya you can do that
Not sure if it was mentioned and I missed it, but will the Enterprise Access Hub charge the batteries if attached? Or would I need to find a solution for that?
That I’m not sure. I’ll have to get some batteries and test
@@MactelecomNetworks it will not charge the battery when AC power is on. It will only charge battery when AC power is off.
@@ckcfcyentn I don't get it. It charges when AC power is off??? Where does the power to charge come from then? I must be missing something.....
@@Greg.M it does not charge battery.

Can unifi access hub coorporate with 2-wire intercom in a building in order to control access for the main door building ?
