Access Control

Every door, one system — full accountability.

For businesses, strata buildings, and multi-tenant sites — video intercoms, door entry, and gates unified under UniFi Access. One dashboard for every entry point on the property, a full audit trail of who came and went, and credentials you can issue or revoke in seconds instead of rekeying the building.

You should know who came through which door, and when

Once there's more than one entry point to manage — a front door and a back gate, a lobby and a carpark, a dozen units in a strata building — a drawer of physical keys or a handful of standalone smart locks stops being a system. Nobody knows who still has a key from three tenants ago, there's no record of who came and went, and locking someone out means physically rekeying the door.

We install UniFi Access as the backbone — every door, gate, and intercom in one dashboard, with a proper audit trail so you know exactly who unlocked what and when. Credentials can be issued or revoked instantly, which matters as much for a business managing staff turnover as it does for a strata building managing tenants moving in and out.

Standalone locks vs. unified access control

One door is easy regardless of approach. It's every door after the first one where the difference shows up.

Standalone Locks & Intercoms
Separate app per device A different login and app for the front door lock, the gate, and the intercom.
No entry history No record of who came and went, or when.
Consumer-grade, DIY install Often self-installed with no licensing or wiring standard behind it.
Cloud account per brand Every device brand has its own cloud dependency and its own risk if that company changes course.
UniFi Access (What We Install)
One unified app Every door, gate, and intercom managed from the same UniFi Access dashboard.
Full audit trail Know exactly who unlocked which door and when, on every entry point.
Licensed install Installed under our NSW Master Security Licence, wired properly and done right.
One platform, shared with your network Access control sits on the same UniFi platform as your cameras and network gear.

Every entry point, one system

From a small office with one front door to a strata building with a lobby, carpark gate, and common areas to manage.

UniFi Access

Every door on the property managed from one dashboard — add, remove, or schedule access without touching individual devices.

Unified Platform

Video Intercoms

See and speak to whoever's at the door or gate before letting them in, from anywhere.

Video & Audio

Common Areas & Per-Unit Credentials

Gyms, pools, mailrooms, and bin rooms brought into the same system as the front door — with credentials issued per unit or tenancy, and revoked instantly when someone moves out.

Strata & Multi-Tenant

Alarm System Integration

Existing alarm systems can often be tied into the same access platform, so arming, disarming, and entry events sit alongside the rest of the building's activity log rather than in a separate system. Whether this is possible depends on the specific alarm system — we'll confirm during a site visit before it goes on a quote.

Model-Dependent

Vehicle & Carpark Gates

Basement carpark gates, staff car parks, and loading gates brought into the same access system as pedestrian doors — one credential, every entry point.

Whole Site

Licensed Security Installer

Installed under our NSW Master Security Licence (Class MA) #000111282 — proper wiring standards, not a self-install kit.

Licensed & Compliant

Full Audit Trail

Every unlock event logged against the door and the credential used — know who came and went, and when.

Entry Logging

Before you get in touch

What happens if the internet or power goes down?

UniFi Access controllers store credentials locally, so doors keep working on the local network even without an internet connection — you're not locked out just because your NBN drops. For power outages, each door is configured as fail-safe or fail-secure depending on what's appropriate for that door (e.g. fire egress requirements), and a battery backup for the controller can be added if continued operation during a mains outage matters for your site.

Can existing gates, doors, or garage access be integrated?

Usually, yes. Retrofitting an existing gate motor, garage door, or door hardware into a unified system is a normal part of this work — there's rarely a need to replace hardware that's still doing its job.

Can staff, tenants, or visitors answer the door or open a gate remotely?

Yes — video intercoms and UniFi Access are both managed from the same app, so whoever's authorised can see who's there and unlock a door or gate remotely, from anywhere.

How does this work for a strata building with multiple tenants?

Each resident or unit gets their own credential — a fob, code, or app-based key — issued and revoked independently. When someone moves out, their access is cut immediately without rekeying anything else in the building, and the activity log shows exactly which credential was used at each door or gate.

Can my existing alarm system be integrated too?

Often, yes — many alarm systems can be brought into the same platform so arming, disarming, and entry events sit in one place. It depends on the specific system you've got, so we'll take a look during a site visit and confirm what's possible before it goes on your quote.

I just need one smart lock for my house, not a whole system — is that still for you?

That's a great fit for our Smart Home service instead — single locks, garage doors, and video doorbells for homeowners sit there rather than on this page, which is built around multi-door business and strata sites. If it's a gate on a rural or acreage property rather than a suburban home, our Acreage & Rural Properties page is the better fit.

Thinking about access control?

Whether it's a small office, a multi-tenant commercial site, or a strata building with dozens of units, tell us what you're trying to secure and we'll design a system that gives you a proper record of who's coming and going.
