In the world of access control for company premises, driveways and parking areas, Ubiquiti is bringing a breath of fresh air with the UA-G3-SK-GATE (also known as the G3 Gate Starter Kit). The kit combines modern access technologies with the proven UniFi platform and is aimed at users who want to integrate smart control at vehicle gates and barriers.

What is included in the package?

The starter kit comes with everything you need to get started:

• G3 Intercom with high-resolution touch display, camera and NFC
• Gate Hub for controlling gates and side doors
• PoE++ power supply unit with 2-wire PoE extenders for flexible cabling
• 10 Touch Pass annual licenses for immediate user activation
• additionally bookable UICARE-UA-G3-SK-GATE(UI Care)

Ubiquiti thus offers a genuine plug & play system for modern door automation.

The highlights in detail

G3 Intercom

The new intercom panel is the heart of the system:

• 7″ touchscreen with 1000 nits – excellent readability even in sunlight
• HD camera with full-duplex audio
• Access via NFC, PIN, Bluetooth or directly via Apple/Google Wallet
• Robust design: IP65 weatherproof, vandal-proof (UL294-certified)

Gate Hub

Installed in the control cabinet or technical room, the Gate Hub takes over the control:

• Up to 50 W PoE output power for connected components
• Control of 1 main door + 1 side door
• Input for emergency opener or manual buttons
• Top-hat rail mounting for easy integration

Smart features through UniFi

The system only unfolds its full power when connected to the UniFi Access Controller. The central dashboard can be used to:

• Manage users via drag & drop
• Define schedules and access levels
• Using video door communication in real time
• Activate license plate recognition (LPR) when integrating an AI Protect camera
• Automatic door opening for registered vehicles or persons

Thanks to the UniFi interface, operation remains intuitive despite the wide range of functions.

Installation & Energy

A special highlight: with the 2-wire PoE system supplied, the power can also be supplied via existing bell wires – ideal for retrofitting. A PoE++ injector and extender are included in the set.

Who is the UA-G3-SK-GATE suitable for?

The system is ideal for:

• Company entrances with barrier gates or roller shutters
• Gated communities or residential complexes
• Parking spaces with fixed access circuit
• Logistics areas with vehicle and pedestrian control

From the field: Smart access control for a company site

A medium-sized company with around 50 employees operates an access road with an electrically operated sliding gate on its company premises.

Previously, access was controlled via a classic radio remote control – a system with weaknesses: Devices were lost, authorizations could only be changed with great difficulty and visitor management was practically non-existent.

With the Ubiquiti UA-G3-SK-GATE, the entire gate control system has been converted to a modern system:

Before:

• Radio remote controls
• No overview of accesses
• No visitor management
• No time control
• Complex extension

After with G3 Gate Starter Kit

• NFC cards, PIN codes, app access
• Live log of all accesses
• Video communication and one-time codes
• Access according to schedules & groups
• PoE via existing bell line

Result:

• Employees receive individual access via smartphone or NFC card.
• Visitors ring the intercom and are granted access via app or remote release.
• The operations manager automatically receives the door opening in the morning via license plate recognition.
• Security protocols enable tracking in the event of incidents.
• Management is centralized via the existing UniFi Controller.

Our conclusion

The UA-G3-SK-GATE takes Ubiquiti’s access control to the next level. With high-quality hardware, flexible installation and the power of UniFi Access, the system is a smart solution for modern gate systems. Those who are already familiar with the UniFi world will appreciate the seamless workflow and centralized control.

💡 Pro tip: If you also use UniFi Protect, you can even activate automatic opening via license plate recognition with a compatible camera – without the need for a physical key or NFC.
