Local Management

Compatible UniFi software may operate without a recurring software subscription. Internet, cellular backup, cloud services, monitoring, maintenance, or third party integrations may involve additional costs.

REMOTE ACCESS

Supported systems may allow authorized users to view cameras, manage credentials, or grant entry through a compatible mobile application.

WIRELESS BRIDGE

A point to point wireless bridge may connect a distant gate to the main network when underground data cabling is impractical.

SCALABLE

Begin with one controlled gate and add compatible cameras, readers, users, or entry points as your property grows.

Built on Ubiquiti

Four components, one controller.

A modern automated entry gate combines surveillance, access control, connectivity, and supporting network equipment.

01 - SURVEILLANCE

UniFi Protect Cameras

Compatible UniFi Protect cameras can provide live video, recorded footage, night viewing, motion events, and supported visitor communication at the gate.

Camera features depend on the model, recorder, software, network connection, and system configuration.

02 — ACCESS

UniFi Access Hardware

Professional gate access control may use key cards, mobile credentials, PIN codes, or scheduled permissions.

Compatible systems can help property managers add or remove users, manage approved access times, and review available entry activity.

03 — CONNECTIVITY

Wireless Bridges

Point to point wireless equipment can connect remote cameras and access devices to the main property network.

Wireless connectivity still requires suitable power, local cabling, compatible equipment, and an adequately clear signal path.

04 — INFRASTRUCTURE

Switches & Gateways

Network switches, gateways, controllers, and supporting cabling connect the cameras, readers, gate controls, and property network.

Our network installation services allow the gate system to be coordinated with the wider infrastructure.

Why Ubiquiti

Integrated Technology for Residential and Commercial Gates

/ REMOTE ACCESS

Manage it from anywhere

Compatible systems may allow authorized homeowners and property managers to view gate cameras, receive supported alerts, manage credentials, and control available entry features.

Local Control Options

Control locally

Some UniFi functions may operate through locally managed hardware without a recurring software fee. We explain all known equipment, subscription, and service costs before installation.

/ SCALABLE

Grows with the property

A residential driveway gate installation may begin with one entry point, while larger commercial gate systems can include multiple entrances, users, schedules, readers, and cameras.

How it works

Three visits, no surprises.

01 / ASSESS

Free on-site walkthrough

We assess the gate, existing equipment, gate movement, available power, network distance, wiring, access requirements, and traffic patterns.

02 / DESIGN

A plan you approve first

You receive a proposal covering the recommended gate technology, access devices, cameras, connectivity, installation scope, timeline, and price.
The condition and compatibility of an existing gate must be confirmed before automation. Structural, fabrication, or major electrical work may require another qualified provider.

03 / INSTALL

Clean install, tested live

As an experienced electric gate installer, we install and configure the approved operator controls, cameras, readers, and network equipment. We test the system and explain how to manage its supported features.
Our gate operator installation in the DC metro area is completed according to the approved equipment and property requirements.

Get started

Ubiquiti offers advanced networking and security solutions ideal for modern gate systems. By integrating Ubiquiti’s reliable hardware and software, property owners and businesses can create smart, secure, and remotely accessible gate control systems. These setups can be used for residential driveways, gated communities, commercial entrances, or industrial facilities.

Key Components of a Ubiquiti Gate System

A typical Ubiquiti-powered gate system includes UniFi Protect cameras, UniFi Access hardware, wireless bridges, and networking components like switches and gateways. Combined, these provide surveillance, access control, and data connectivity at the gate — all manageable from a centralized UniFi Controller interface.

Seamless Remote Access

One of the main benefits of using Ubiquiti for gate systems is remote access. Using the UniFi Controller or the UniFi Protect app, users can view live camera feeds, receive motion alerts, and manage access permissions from anywhere in the world. This makes it easy for property managers or homeowners to monitor and control entry remotely.

Reliable Wireless Connectivity

Gates are often located far from buildings or internet sources. Ubiquiti solves this with point-to-point or point-to-multipoint wireless bridges, such as NanoStation or airMAX devices. These wireless links provide a high-speed, stable connection between the gate and the main building, eliminating the need for underground cabling.

High-Quality Surveillance

With UniFi Protect cameras like the G4 Doorbell or G4 Bullet, you can monitor who enters and exits your property. These cameras offer HD video, night vision, motion detection, and two-way audio. Footage is recorded and accessible through a local network video recorder (NVR) or via the cloud, depending on your setup.

Integrated Access Control

Ubiquiti’s UniFi Access system allows you to control who can enter through the gate using key cards, smartphones, or PIN codes. Access logs and schedules can be configured through the UniFi Access Controller, giving full oversight of who accessed the gate and when. This is especially valuable in multi-tenant or corporate environments.

Scalability and Customization

Ubiquiti systems are scalable, meaning you can start with a basic setup and expand over time. Whether you’re managing a single gate or multiple entry points across a large property, the system grows with your needs. Devices can be added easily through the UniFi Controller without reconfiguring the entire network.

Cost-Effective and No Monthly Fees

Unlike some gate automation systems that require ongoing subscription fees, Ubiquiti offers a one-time purchase model. All software tools, including the UniFi Controller, are free to use. This reduces long-term costs while maintaining enterprise-grade functionality.

Real-World Applications

Ubiquiti-based gate systems are widely used in private estates, apartment complexes, hotels, and corporate campuses. Their flexibility, ease of use, and integration capabilities make them an excellent choice for both small and large-scale installations requiring networked access control and surveillance.

Implementing a gate system with Ubiquiti products enhances property security, simplifies access control, and increases peace of mind. Whether you’re managing a single-family home or a large industrial site, Ubiquiti provides a reliable, scalable, and professional solution to modern gate management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you automate an existing driveway gate?

Possibly. We must first evaluate the gate’s condition, movement, dimensions, power, and compatibility with an appropriate operator.

Compatible systems may support mobile access. Availability depends on the equipment, application, internet connection, and user permissions.

Some locally managed features may not require a recurring software fee. Internet, cellular service, monitoring, cloud storage, or third party services may still involve ongoing costs.

A wireless bridge may be suitable when the distance, signal path, power, and site conditions support it.
