Wi-Fi Works was initially approached to upgrade the door access system at this Hertfordshire-based company, replacing an outdated and partially operational system with a modern UniFi Access solution.
The first phase included three controlled doors with G3 Intercoms and new structured cabling throughout. From there, the project expanded into a wider UniFi rollout encompassing CCTV and network infrastructure.
For surveillance, we installed a combination of fixed G6 Turret cameras and G6 PTZ cameras, providing comprehensive coverage across the large site. As the property is an impressive older stately-home building, particular care was taken with cable routes, equipment positioning and overall aesthetics to ensure the technology remained sympathetic to the character of the property.
The network was also upgraded with Wi-Fi 7 U7 XG access points and a series of 48-port UniFi switches, providing a modern high-performance wired and wireless infrastructure. A UNVR Pro was installed as part of the central UniFi platform, bringing the site’s systems together for straightforward management and monitoring.
The installation presented several practical challenges, including ceilings approaching five metres in height, requiring tower access, as well as limited installation windows to complete and integrate the work with minimal disruption. Extensive pre-configuration helped us deliver the project efficiently within those constraints.
The client has been extremely happy with the completed installation, and we’re now looking at the next phase of the project. This includes replacing the company’s existing staff check-in/check-out system with additional UniFi G3 Readers and exploring integration with the site’s alarm system – further consolidating the property onto a single UniFi platform….
