Configuring Door Attendants in UniFi Access

The UniFi Access Door Attendant simplifies door management, allowing admins to receive doorbell call notifications, remotely lock/unlock doors, monitor door cameras in real-time, and more. If you're looking to configure doorbell call receivers for Intercoms and Pro Readers, click here. 

Update your Access application and devices to the latest versions for the newest features and optimal performance.
