## Description

The UniFi Access extension provides centralized management for your Access system, enabling admins to oversee doors, reader devices, user rosters, access cards, and security policies from a single interface. It offers real-time access logs to monitor visitor and employee activity across your workspace.

Key features include doorbell push notifications, remote viewing and granting of access, device configuration (greeting messages, keypad layout, volume, brightness), door grouping and floor-specific policies, user management (PINs and UA Cards), activity tracking with card reader video captures, and card management for existing NFC cards or UA Cards.

## Review summary

Users praise UniFi Access for easy setup, strong UniFi ecosystem integration, and practical, secure access controls across homes, offices, and hotels. The main drawbacks are stability problems after updates, lag in feature parity with the broader product (missing app-only controls and integrations), and notification reliability issues (push/vibration alerts, Do Not Disturb behavior). Overall, it’s functional and scalable but needs improved reliability and parity with the main product.

### Pros

- Easy to set up and use
- Strong integration with the UniFi Protect ecosystem (cameras, access control, Protect)
- Practical access-control features (unlock from the app, issue key cards, manage guests and staff)
- Clear video quality and reliable hardware support (works with G3 readers and doorbells)
- Scalable across multiple locations/devices (home, office, hotel)

### Cons

- Stability issues: the app crashes after updates and can be unreliable
- Feature parity gaps with the main product: missing app-only controls (e.g., multi-door unlock for first-entry, gate hold-open, lights/Protect triggers integration) and delayed feature updates
- Notification issues: push/vibration alerts are inconsistent and may be affected by Do Not Disturb mode or other settings
