Access control, cameras and WiFi for residential communities
No more duplicated garage remotes or pool keys: each resident enters where they're allowed, with their phone or card.
In short: In a community we install access control at pedestrian entrances, garage and pool, with credentials per home and schedules, cameras at entrances and common areas, and outdoor WiFi in common areas if the community wants it.
Common situations
Does any of this sound familiar?
- Garage remotes copied without control.
- Pool keys in anybody's hands.
- Incidents in common areas with no record.
- Non-residents getting in.

What we do in this type of project
Access control
Stop copying keys: each person opens the doors they're allowed to, at their times, with a card, PIN or phone, and everything is logged.
View serviceGates & garages
Open the gate or garage with your phone, a card or your car's licence plate, and stop handing out remotes nobody keeps track of.
View serviceLicence plate recognition
Log the plates that come and go and open automatically for authorised vehicles, without remotes or cards.
View serviceCameras & CCTV
Cameras placed where they really help, recording on your own premises and alerts only when it matters: people or vehicles, not leaves moving.

Questions about residential communities and estates
Can the community garage be opened by phone?
Yes, with the UniFi Access Gate Hub connected to the existing operator.
How is access removed when a home is sold?
The administrator cancels that home's credentials from the application, without changing locks.
Does your community want to control its entrances?
We prepare a technical proposal you can present at the owners' meeting.
