UniFi runs cameras (UniFi Protect) and door and gate entry (UniFi Access) from one console on your network, and Ubiquiti charges no license fee for Protect. Video records to drives inside that console at the property, and Ubiquiti states it cannot view or access your video streams.
Santa Clarita is home turf — our shop is here, so a Santa Clarita site walk, drawing approval and install all run on our normal schedule with no travel lead time. Permitting runs through the City of Santa Clarita or LA County depending on the parcel, and we handle both regularly.
Santa Clarita lots put the gate a long way from the house: sloped drives in Valencia and Stevenson Ranch, ranch parcels off Sierra Highway and Sand Canyon, truck gates at the far end of a Commerce Center yard. An Ethernet run stops at 100 meters, so a UniFi plan here starts with where the switch and the Gate Hub sit, and whether the gate is reached by copper, fiber or a wireless bridge, before any camera is chosen. Our shop is in Valencia, so the walk, the install and the handover run on our normal schedule.
We plan the coverage and the entry points, pull and terminate the cable, wire the gate operator into the Gate Hub, and set up each user in the UniFi apps.
Day and night, at every door, gate and drive you want watched or controlled.
Camera positions, console, switch and hub locations, and cable routes, approved before anything is ordered.
Cable pulled and terminated, cameras aimed at night, the gate operator wired to the Gate Hub and tested.
Owner account, app setup for each user, and the camera and door list in writing.
Scoped to your property, not a flat per-item rate. These are the factors that move the number, in the order they usually matter.
Yes. A single Ethernet run stops at 100 meters, so a long Santa Clarita drive gets a PoE switch partway down, a fiber run or a point-to-point wireless bridge to the gate. Ubiquiti's Gate Hub takes PoE++ power in and has four PoE+ outputs, 55 W in total, for devices at the gate such as a reader or a camera. Ubiquiti rates the Gate Hub for indoor use, so at the gate it goes in a waterproof enclosure.
Yes. The truck gate gets a plate camera and an identification view of the driver, the yard gets detection coverage along the fence line, and everything records to a UniFi console in the office. Wiring the truck gate's operator to a Gate Hub adds credentialed entry and a log of who opened it.
Ubiquiti charges no license fee for Protect, whether it runs 4 cameras or 4,000. Two UniFi products do bill: Touch Pass credentials in UniFi Access (Apple or Google Wallet passes, billed per user per year after a one-year trial that includes 10 passes) and UniFi Talk phone plans.
On drives inside the UniFi console at your property. Ubiquiti keeps no cloud copy by default and states it cannot view, store or access your video streams. Remote viewing runs through your own UI Account.
Ubiquiti doesn't publish a list of compatible operators. For automatic closing, the Gate Hub either relies on an operator with a Full Open input and its own auto-close timer, or runs its own timer, which needs Full Open and Full Closed inputs. To close the gate from the app, Ubiquiti requires a gate position sensor and an entrapment protection device. We check your operator's terminals against those requirements on the site walk.
Yes, with UniFi's License Plate Unlock. It needs a compatible UniFi AI camera, such as the AI LPR, wired directly to a PoE port on the Access hub. On the Gate Hub, the gate opens only when its sensor reads the gate as closed. At night the AI LPR's view shows little beyond plates and headlights, so a second camera on the drive is what shows the car and the driver.
Video is recorded to the console on site, not sent to a cloud, and Ubiquiti's Local Management lets you run the system from the property's own network during an internet outage. Viewing from outside the property needs the internet back.
Name, phone and ZIP. We walk it before we price it.
We protect people, property, and peace.
