Smarter Garage Security with UniFi
Integrating UniFi products into a garage door system brings smart security and control to one of the most vulnerable access points in a home or building. With cameras, access control, and wireless connectivity, UniFi helps protect your garage from unauthorized access while offering convenient remote features.
Surveillance with UniFi Protect
Installing UniFi Protect cameras near the garage provides real-time monitoring and recorded footage of any activity. Whether it's a delivery, a family member returning home, or an unknown visitor, you can view and review everything from the UniFi Protect app. Cameras like the G4 Bullet or G4 Doorbell Pro are commonly used for this purpose.
Remote Monitoring and Notifications
UniFi Protect allows homeowners or managers to receive instant notifications when motion is detected around the garage. With smart detection features like person recognition and customizable motion zones, you get alerted only when necessary — adding both convenience and peace of mind.
Garage Door Control via Smart Relays
While UniFi doesn’t directly manufacture garage door openers, many users integrate UniFi systems with third-party smart relays (e.g., Shelly, Sonoff) connected to the garage door motor. These devices can be triggered through a secure network set up by UniFi, allowing remote open/close functions from a smartphone or browser.
Secure Wireless Connectivity
Garage locations often suffer from weak Wi-Fi signals. Ubiquiti solves this with mesh access points or point-to-point bridges. Products like the UniFi FlexHD or the NanoStation can deliver fast, stable connections to garages located far from the main router, enabling all smart devices and cameras to function reliably.
UniFi Access Integration
For advanced setups, UniFi Access products can be used to secure the garage entrance with keycard or smartphone access. This is especially useful for detached garages or commercial properties. Authorized users can be given access credentials, and all entries can be logged and monitored through the UniFi Access Controller.
Easy Device Management with UniFi Controller
All UniFi devices used in a garage system — from cameras to access points — are managed from a single, intuitive UniFi Controller dashboard. Whether you're at home or halfway around the world, you can log in and view the garage status, control connected devices, or troubleshoot issues remotely.
Privacy and Local Control
Unlike some cloud-dependent garage systems, UniFi gives you full control with optional local storage. Footage can be stored securely on a UniFi Protect NVR, like the Dream Machine Pro or Cloud Key Gen2 Plus, keeping your data private and accessible even without internet access.
Scalability for Home or Business
Whether you have a single residential garage or a commercial facility with multiple garage bays, UniFi systems are scalable. You can add more cameras, access points, and access control devices as needed without replacing the existing setup. This makes UniFi ideal for both homeowners and businesses with evolving needs.
A Reliable, Professional Solution
Adding UniFi to your garage door system transforms it from a basic mechanical setup into a modern, secure, and intelligent entry point. With its powerful ecosystem of products and user-friendly software, UniFi provides a reliable solution for anyone looking to enhance garage security and convenience.
