Access Control
Smart access control from Next2IT, built on UniFi Access and Protect, with keycards, biometrics, mobile credentials and real-time video-verified monitoring.
Control who enters, protect what matters
Security starts at the door. Built on UniFi Access and UniFi Protect, our access control combines smart hardware with real-time monitoring so only authorised people get in. We manage entry points, integrate with video surveillance and network access, and give you centralised control with full audit visibility across every site.
What access control does
Access control manages who can enter your premises, reach specific areas or use particular resources. In practice that means door readers and electronic locks paired with software that logs, tracks and automates every access decision. We specialise in physical access control with UniFi Access, integrated with CCTV from UniFi Protect, giving you a complete, real-time view of site security. The aim is simple: keep the right people in and everyone else out, without slowing your business down.
Key capabilities
