In this video I take a look at the new Unifi access reader G2 professional by Ubiquiti networks. This reader has a ADA compliant camera in it, a 4.7 inch touch screen and more

No integration with Protect. Such a missed opportunity.

I agree with you !! Can’t understand why UniFi don’t have a real doorbell with access functionalities. We could be able to see the front door camera with other cameras in protect app. They just need to add that functionality to the UniFi doorbell

I still can't believe that these functions don't exist in the g4 doorbell pro!

Ya would be cool to see it
i'd love to see you test it outside cause that's a huge selling point for this reader.
Just to clarify, the screen tearing defect on the UApro occurs both indoors and outdoors. Speaking from personal experience.
Ordered mine yesterday. Can't wait! Thanks for the video!
Would be great to customise the messaging based on time of day, as well as the access response.
I am on Access Pro Reader number 3 now because of the screen tearing issue when being used outside. Really hoping this does better.
This is the second home in which kzread.infoUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU we've replaced our "regular" doorbell with a Ring video doorbell and we really enjoy it. It is very easy to install and it works very well, with a clear picture through the app and good in-home use (we added the chime, which is also easy to install and doesn't require another thought to use).
No fingerprint reader. No unifi protect. Missed opportunity. I'm changing back to Dahua. :(
Good video Cody, interesting looking unit !
Nice review. 1 question though: on the old reader you could change the "SWIPE TO RING THE BELL" to just a push button. Is this also possible on the new doorbell? Thanks

I have the same question… An answer would be very appreciated
I'm working in a Unifi Door Control Access with the G2 Kit. What is the recommended device to enable two-way communication with the person in front of the door?
Are we able to use an iPhone by walking up to the access G2 Pro swiping your phone next to it and it unlocks the gate or door?

You can forsure using UID but I do not know if the NFC chip inside the iphone allows this natively
I am recommended to use G4 doorbell Pro along with the Access Reader G2 Pro. The reason is the better doorbell quality in recordings. Maybe also that doorbell have continuous recording and face recognition. Is this correct and what you would recommend as well - to have these side by side?
What happens below -30C? We live in Calgary, and are looking at this. What do we do in that situation?
What is the difference between this and a standard Unify door bell unit? Why would I choose this over their doorbell camera? Thanks!
- What is the ToF sensor used for here? - Seems like it would be easy for someone to vandalise this and just yank it off the wall (not saying they'll get in, but it doesn't seem sturdy). - Is it possible to generate temp. pins, valid for e.g. 2 days or e.g. 1 access for guests/package delivery?
Can you remove the "swipe to ring" option from the screen and just have a card or number pad reader?
Nice review. Note that the Reader Pro Firmware 2.4.199 changed the camera FOV to be much more useful than the chest view we were all used to, so you should check into that and maybe post a comparison. I think the new G2 reader is still a better design, and having had 3 Pro screens ruined over the last 2 years, I'm also hoping the G2 will be more durable.
I like it. But wow what a cut out like on a aluminum frame store front you would have to get the grinder out. I usually use HID. The Signo 20 it’s surface mount The only issue is mobile access you have to pay subscription which a lot of customers don’t like.
In your next video please show us the configuration for PIN. Eg. can you assign several? also add starting/expiration dates? etc. Thanks.
Is it possible to change the text "Slide up to ring" to custom text?
Have they added an ability to lock doors with the reader yet? It was promised over a year ago. Had to uninstall this setup at clients because lack of such a basic feature
The G4 Doorbell pro should have some of the access functionality. Sliding doorbell, really???
I'm looking for your video on the new intercom!! :)
Can you tell us what height you mounted the card readers at in your basement? ADA requires 48" off the ground (unless someone in a wheelchair has room turn sidways by the pad then it's 54") just wanted to know if it captured someone's face that's standing when mounted at those heights.
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Those hands are screaming for help.

Thank you for looking out for me. Time to get my jergens
I’m looking to buy one for my gate. It can be set up to come and close the gate automatically. But can it be set up to open the gate and stay open and when it’s time to close the gate, I would use again either the pin or the phone.
Nice review. I am considering the Reader G2 and G4 Doorbell models for the main entrance (outdoor). At first glance, I prefer the Access Reader G2 because it supports NFC and pin code access. However, I noticed that it might require a hub. Is it possible to connect the G2 directly to the network without a hub? I would use Shelly 1 instead of the hub. What are the differences between using it with and without a hub? Additionally, do you have any information about Unifi's plans to upgrade the Doorbell with an NFC reader?
Can this be used to replace the doorbell and open zwave doorlocks using home assistant?
What happens if there is a power outage or network outage? Does the magnetic door stay locked or unlocked?
Does the ring have a ringer feature or does it just call a phone/mobile? Would be nice to have a proper door bell ringer for home use as well.
Hi Cody!, how much is the difference between both in depth from the wall?, i have a security metal blind that protect my business door, the question is will my blind touch the new reader? Thanks
Is it possible to control them programmatically? For example, I could have a Raspberry Pi in my network that would send commands to open or close them based on some conditions
Hi Cody. Thanks for the video. Can you tell us if the NFC reading time is faster with the v1 Pro?
Hello, thank you for sharing this review!! Do you know if I can active the built in camera to record all the time? 24/7? Is it possible?
Great video, can you show how the app looks like? We are using pro kit and want to install this at a car door gate. When someone rings can you does the app show the gate next to it so you can just open it or do you have to switch over to from cameras to the access app to open.
Is it possible to add the NFC card to Apple Wallet/Watch, or do you need an actual card?
Can it work like a regular doorbell? Like ring a (wireless) chime inside if someone presses it?
Thank you for your video. Is it possible, in your opinion, to connect 2 G2 Reader Pros to only 1 access hub to control 2 different doors? My situation is this: I live in a condominium, and with 1 access hub I would like to control the opening of the condominium door where I will install the first G2, and with the second G2 I would like to control my apartment door. Thank you.

Hi, Nope it’s one hub per door. If you want a multi door hub you can buy the enterprise hub which can do up to 8 doors
It better be a metal bracket. I just finished the first door at work yesterday. The lite reader's brackets are so janky/weak. Also the wave doesnt apear to work in direct sunlight. Which is ok because they wont make it a scheduled feature (like wave during day cards at night) so that feature is sort of a tease anyway. Idk that i would trust a $360 shiny bit of tech outside if this ones bracket is as janky. If this system is at least stable ill be happy with it. Im kinda leary right now
Can you use any electric door strike on these or does it have to be a Ubiquiti Door Strike?
Does the intercom viewer work with the G1 reader?

I've got a Yale lock/handle and its accompanying keypad feels so squidgy, it's hard to tell whether you've pressed the buttons at all. I know we're supposed to buy in to the entire ecosystem, but it would be cool if this could be made to work with some other smart locks like the Yale. Any hacks?

Can you use a Access Reader Pro to send a lock command. For example, I would like a lock to stay unlocked during the day. Once the last person leaves I would like them to be able to hit “lock door” on the keypad to trigger the lock.

Wasn't there with the older access system, not sure if it got added with the new hardware
no fingerprint? thats insane bruh
So.. can this be used at a residential house.. front door in place of the unit I have now on my door? Like how would this unlock the front door.. does it have a motor with it that turns the dead bolt? Also.. the sun faces my patio where this would be.. during summer easily hits 110 to 120 on the patio.. can this withstand hours of hot heat all summer long.. or going to have issues?
yesssss!!!!
screen slider to ring is GARBAGE and worst idea ever
Its not that safe with a flipper you can access it

Hi @mactelecomnetworks - I cannot get the g2 pro to send a notification to a phone or iPad when swiping up. Are there specific instructions for this?
