Common questions about Unity Access


Can employees use their phone instead of a card?

Yes. Avigilon Unity Access supports HID and STid mobile credentials. You can still issue cards or fobs to anyone who prefers one.

Can it work with the door hardware and readers I already have?

Often, yes. Avigilon Unity Access works with standard hardware such as HID readers and Mercury controllers, so existing doors can frequently stay as they are.

Does it tie into the camera system?

Yes. Avigilon Unity Access links with Avigilon Unity Video, so a door event shows the matching video.

What happens at the doors if power or network goes out?

The doors keep working in an offline mode, powered by the backup batteries in the access control enclosure. How long they last depends on the number of panels and readers and the type of door hardware.
