Trail Cutter Knows Networks and Security

Commercial access control on the same platform as the network

A modern system for the building. Doors, cameras, sensors, and the network sit in one open platform. A card, a phone, a PIN, or a face opens the door. A visitor can ring the doorbell.

Doors, cameras, sensors, and the network.

Commercial access control belongs with the rest of the building. UniFi Access runs on the same console as the network. Cameras and the sensors for temperature, water, and indoor air run in UniFi Protect on that console. Staff, schedules, and visitors live with the door. When the building needs cameras, sensors, or a gateway, they join the same platform. Trail Cutter Knows Networks and Security. We install the cable, the network, and the door.

On this page, one open platform means UniFi on one console: Access for the doors, Protect for the cameras and the sensors, and Network for the gateway and the switches. It does not mean open-source, a public API, or a reader from another brand. A door quote can stand alone. The customer does not have to buy cameras and sensors on the same visit.

One door, three pieces.

The Door Hub sits indoors and connects to the lock. It also powers the reader. The G3 Reader Pro is the touchscreen reader. The G6 Pro Entry is the reader with the entry camera, a package camera, and a doorbell. The estimate names which reader the door gets. Both run in UniFi Access.

Ubiquiti product images. They show the hardware. They are not photos of a Trail Cutter job.

Card, phone, PIN, or face.

On the G3 Reader Pro and the G6 Pro Entry, Ubiquiti lists an NFC card or key fob, a phone, a PIN, and face unlock. A phone can use the Access app, or a tap from Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. A visitor uses a QR code during the visit. Fingerprint readers and hand-wave exit readers are other models. This page does not include them.

The door follows the list.

UniFi Access holds the people and the schedule: who may use which door, and on which days and hours. A visitor gets a one-time or a recurring visit, and the QR code ends when the visit ends. The doorbell on these readers lets someone inside see the door and unlock it. The G6 Pro Entry can also show a directory of names to call. A door can stay unlocked on a schedule when the survey asks for that, including a rule that it stays locked until a named person arrives. Two unlock methods can be required. That is an option on the estimate, not the default.

The hub jack, then the door.

The Door Hub needs a PoE++ ethernet jack from the building switch. A new jack is quoted with the ethernet cabling service. The reader and the lock connect at the hub, and that door-side work is this service. The hub is indoor only. Both readers are rated indoor and outdoor. The survey picks the indoor spot for the hub and sets the reader height. Ubiquiti’s reader guide says these readers meet ADA accessibility standards and gives 48 inches as the camera-reader mount. UniFi Access is license-free on the console. Trail Cutter does not add a fee per door.

How it starts

  1. Tell us about the building with the form on this page: a new door, another door, a reader or hub change, or the people and schedules.
  2. We look at the site. The door, the lock, the indoor spot for the hub, and the cable path decide the work.
  3. You get a written estimate that names the scope.
  4. We do that scope.

Common questions

Does the door system sit with the cameras and the network?

Yes. UniFi Access runs on the same console as the network and as UniFi Protect. Cameras, and the sensors for temperature, water, and indoor air, show up in that system. The door can be quoted on its own. The survey adds cameras, sensors, or the gateway when the building needs them.

What do you install at a door?

A Door Hub indoors, a reader at the door, and the lock connection at the hub. The readers on this page are the G3 Reader Pro and the G6 Pro Entry. The estimate names the reader and the lock.

How do people unlock the door?

On these two readers: an NFC card or fob, a phone, a PIN, or a face. A visitor can use a QR code during the visit. Someone inside can answer the doorbell and unlock the door.

Does each door need its own hub?

The Door Hub on this page is listed for one door. A building with more doors uses a hub for each door, or a larger hub when the survey calls for it. The estimate names the hardware.

Where does the hub go?

Indoors. The readers are rated for indoor and outdoor use. The survey picks the spot and checks the cable reach from the switch to the hub, and from the hub to the reader and the lock.

Who installs the ethernet jack?

A new jack for the hub is on the cabling quote. This page is the door: the hub, the reader, the lock connection, and the Access setup.

Is there a monthly fee per door?

UniFi Access is license-free on the console. Trail Cutter does not add a per-door subscription. Hardware and the work are on the written estimate.

Can you keep the old readers?

This service quotes the new reader, the Door Hub, and the cable the door needs. The survey looks at the door you have.

How much does it cost?

We look at the door and send a written estimate. The door count, the lock, and whether a PoE++ jack is already there all change the number. We do not publish a per-door price.
