Door Access Control Systems Across the Northeast
Replace outdated keys and fobs with intelligent access control — manage who enters your building, when they can enter, and get real-time notifications when they do, all from your phone.
For 18 years, Software Que has been helping businesses across the Northeast — from the Northeast to New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania upgrade their security infrastructure. If you're still managing a ring of master keys, chasing down lost fobs, or dealing with a legacy access system that requires a dedicated PC running Windows XP in a closet somewhere, it's time for a modern approach to access control.
We install and configure the UniFi Access system — a commercial-grade door access control platform that integrates seamlessly with your existing UniFi network infrastructure. Unlike traditional access control systems that require proprietary software licenses, dedicated servers, and expensive annual maintenance contracts, UniFi Access runs on the same UniFi OS console that manages your network, cameras, and phone system. One dashboard to control everything, zero recurring software fees.
The UniFi Access ecosystem includes sleek, modern card readers with NFC and mobile credential support, meaning your employees can tap a card, hold up their phone, or even use a PIN to enter secured areas. The Access Hub door controller handles the heavy lifting — managing electric strikes, magnetic locks, and door sensors with enterprise-grade reliability. Every access event is logged with a timestamp, photo, and credential ID, giving you a complete audit trail of who entered where and when.
For businesses looking to make a statement at the front door, the UniFi G6 Entry is a game-changer. This intelligent door system combines an intercom, camera, NFC reader, and touchscreen display into one beautiful, flush-mounted panel. Visitors can announce themselves, you can see and speak to them from your phone, and grant or deny access remotely — whether you're at your desk or across the country. It's the kind of entrance experience that immediately tells visitors they're dealing with a professional operation.
Already have an older access control system with wired locks and strikes in place? The UniFi Access Retrofit kit lets us upgrade your system without ripping out existing door hardware. We replace the brains — the controllers and readers — while keeping your existing wiring and lock mechanisms intact. This dramatically reduces installation time and cost, especially in larger buildings with dozens of doors already wired for access control.
Our access control installations are particularly popular with medical offices that need HIPAA-compliant restricted areas, multi-tenant office buildings where different companies need different access zones, warehouses and distribution centers managing shift-based access, and coworking spaces that need flexible member access. We design custom access zones, time-based permissions, and visitor management workflows tailored to exactly how your organization operates.
Every system we install integrates directly with UniFi Protect cameras, so when someone badges into a door, the camera nearest that door automatically captures a snapshot. You get a visual verification alongside every access event — invaluable for security audits and incident investigations. And because it's all UniFi, there are no integration headaches, no middleware, and no additional software costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you replace our old key and fob system with modern access control?
Absolutely. That's one of the most common projects we handle. The UniFi Access Retrofit kit allows us to upgrade your existing door hardware — keeping your current wiring, locks, and strikes in place — while replacing the outdated controllers and readers with modern NFC and mobile-capable units. Your team gets new cards or can use their smartphones, and you get a cloud-managed dashboard to control everything. Most retrofit projects are completed in a single day per door.
How does door access integrate with security cameras?
When you're running UniFi Access alongside UniFi Protect cameras, every access event is automatically linked to the nearest camera's footage. When someone badges into a door, the system captures a snapshot and associates it with the access log entry. This means you can visually verify every entry — not just see that 'Card #4527' was used at 2:47 AM, but see exactly who used it. It's all managed from a single UniFi dashboard.
Can I manage access control remotely from my phone?
Yes. The UniFi Access mobile app gives you full control from anywhere. You can lock or unlock doors remotely, grant temporary access to visitors, review access logs, receive real-time notifications when specific doors are opened, and manage employee credentials — all from your smartphone. If someone gets locked out at midnight, you can let them in from your couch.
What happens if the internet goes down?
UniFi Access continues to work even without internet connectivity. The Access Hub stores all credential data locally, so badges, NFC, and PINs all continue to function normally during an outage. Access logs are stored locally and sync back to the cloud once connectivity is restored. You only lose remote management capabilities during the outage — the doors themselves keep working.
How much does a commercial door access system cost?
A single-door UniFi Access setup including a reader, hub, and professional installation typically starts around $800–$1,500. Multi-door installations benefit from shared infrastructure — the Access Hub can control multiple doors — so per-door costs decrease as you scale. A typical 4–8 door office installation runs $3,000–$6,000 depending on existing wiring and lock hardware. We provide detailed quotes after a free site survey.
