Ubiquiti UniFi Access Reader G2 (UA-G2-BLACK)

The Ubiquiti UniFi Access Reader G2 is a highly compact, second-generation access control terminal engineered for modern building security. Finished in a matte black profile, this intelligent edge device acts as a secure entry scanner or a convenient request-to-exit terminal. It bridges physical entry points with digital corporate security, allowing businesses to replace old metal keys with encrypted digital credentials.

Operating as a native element of the UniFi Access ecosystem, the reader ensures rapid, unhindered door authentication while tracking entry logs in real time.

Multi-Credential Unlock Framework

The UA-G2-BLACK provides versatile entry and exit mechanisms, adapting smoothly to different staff preferences and accessibility guidelines:

• Encrypted NFC Scanning: Features a high-frequency 13.56 MHz reader that validates physical key fobs, staff ID badges, and secure credentials from less than 30 mm away.

• Mobile Phone Unlocking: Authorised users can securely unlock entries using the UniFi Identity mobile app via an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.1) wireless handshake.

• Touchless Hand-Wave Access: Built with an active proximity sensor. This allows the unit to trigger a "request-to-exit" cycle completely hands-free simply by waving a hand near the sensor—a critical addition for hygienic, high-traffic commercial environments.

NFC Technology Compatibility Matrix

The reader's internal scanning chip is broadly compatible with global industrial security standards and access tokens:

Single-Cable Installation: The UA-G2-BLACK requires no external power transformers or separate low-voltage lines at the door frame. It connects directly to an upstream UniFi Access Hub using a single standard Category 5e (or better) copper Ethernet line, drawing a maximum of just 5 Watts via Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Physical Enclosure & Environmental Resistance

• IP55 Weatherproof Build: Housed in a durable polycarbonate and glass frame designed to survive exposed external door mountings. The casing effectively resists driving dust and rainwater splashes across temperatures from -30°C to 45°C.

• Audio-Visual Feedback Array: Equipped with an integrated 0.7W speaker and customizable RGBW status LEDs to provide distinct visual cues and custom audible greeting messages during entry and exit events.

• Streamlined Form Factor: Designed with an ultra-slim profile that mounts flush against wall surfaces or standard single-gang electrical boxes.
