Dang this thing is a lot bigger than I imagined. I have one on the way to use in a property gate opener system.

[REPH]

thanks for the video. Will you make an additional one which goes more into detail like:
- can the keypad be turned on and of
- same for the NFC
- show how good the camera and audio is
- how easy it is to set up with e.g. a GU secury lock

[paulhawes]

Will be great when it works. Currently the directory does not allow you to add tenants. Unless you set them up as a Admin. Tennants cant use the identity app yet. Also another problem is the back light number stay on and cant be turned off.

Looking forward to grabbing one of these very soon ;)

That's a lot of glare. I'd sure like to see it with the sun on it like it would be at my place. I see there is some trim available for it that put a little hood at the top. I hadn't thought I'd need one until now.

I want to know what the calling experience is for the apartment occupant. Many older systems call a phone number on file, which works great for immediately getting the attention of the occupant, but what does the Unifi Intercom do? Is it just a push notification? Does it take over the occupants mobile phone screen and present itself as a "call" using Apple CallKit framework? Using the wall mounted viewer device or using a Ubiquiti desk phone are not adequate options for this use case, the occupant needs to be be notified of visitors as quickly as possible on their mobile phone, but in a manner that won't get missed.

For once Ubiquiti have done a good job with leaving a lot of the features either unused or open to further improvement. With the physical buttons this is perfect for a gate entry system. Hopefully we will be able to configure it to be used for that, where it would then give the option to remove the directory and have one press ring on the ring button

[tejvandijk]

Is it possible to run the intercom without viewers? We would like to add mobile (app) users to the directory of the intercom. The visitor selects the resident from the menu and the resident then receives a push notification and can open the door. Is that possible with the UA-intercom?

[forevervigorous]

So if this is in an environment like an apartment complex, will guests be able to dial the user in the directory and allow the user to unlock the door from their app?

hi dear, i have an old historic bronze keyboard that i use it as secondary entrance. In the general entrance i will use the ubiquiti intercom. In the bronzed keyboard i have 6 buttons. Can i reassign the others input of the access hub to call the apartment inside a secondary block?

[itsme_jenmedia]

look. greta to be an gate opening but it doesn't have GSM like Akuvox, How does it work as a gate opener. I would love it to work with my system

[Finndian]

OK, say I go for a walk and forget my phone. I lock myself out of one of the two gates I use the intercom to control. Can I let myself in my gate using a code, do you know?

[A-Bridger]

Does this need to be plugged into the control hub directly or will it work just being on the same network? I'd like to use this in conjunction with an extended range POE switch (180 metre driveway), would this work?

[andrewdellimore]

Can each tenant use the app instead of the viewer? Will they be able to have a two way conversation through the app?

[cpjolicoeur]

Someone get this man an air conditioner....

[northblue]

They trying to compete with the likes of Paxton, huh?
