He shares his experiences installing various Ubiquiti products and explains how this device differs from others by having the hub built-in, which simplifies the setup process. AJay walks through the unboxing, connecting the device to the access control system, and testing its features, including assigning NFC fobs and setting up an exit button.

Thanks for the overview! What Anker backup device do you use exactly?

How about adding an emergency switch that should cut power to the magnetic lock so that the door is always open?

So you can run the mini headless and still manage to connect the Vision Pro?

Your channel has provided me with many valuable insights. Our company plans to install five Unifi wireless access points linked together through a Poe switch. Do we need to configure each access point separately? Is there an option for setting up a master and a slave, so you can configure one master and it will replicate all others, similar to an Aruba AP?

Quick question: I see that this is Adopted in the Unifi Access software. With Unifi Protect, where do you Adopt the cameras? With Protect software installed on the UDM Pro or installed on the NVR?

What stops someone from removing the Access Ultra from the wall, then disconnecting and powering the door strike directly?

UI is doing some great things in the access control market but until their equipment is UL listed it's not going to guard anything buy a broom closet for us. What everyone seems to forget is Access Control is life safety. It's against code in main places to install these on certain doors since it's not UL listed.
