- Does the UA-G2 need a UniFi Access hub?
- Yes. The reader is a door device managed by UniFi Access, so it needs a UniFi Access hub or controller on the network. It does not run as a standalone reader.
- Can it open a door with a phone?
- Yes. It reads NFC phones as well as UniFi Access cards, so enrolled users can tap a phone at the door. Users must be set up in UniFi Access first.
- What is different from the first Access Reader?
- The G2 adds a camera, a speaker and two-way talkback for door intercom use. The original reader is entry-only, without the camera and audio.
- How is it powered and connected?
- It runs on PoE over a single Ethernet cable, which carries both power and data. That means one cable run per door and no separate power supply.
- Can it work with existing cards?
- It is built around UniFi Access cards and NFC phones. Other card formats are not the focus, so check your existing credentials before planning a swap.
- Where can it be mounted?
- It is designed for wall and mullion mounting at the door. Plan the cable run and network drop before installing.
