Network and Physical Security Share the Same Backbone

Protect cameras and Access devices depend on the same switching, PoE, VLAN, fiber and UPS infrastructure that carries the rest of the estate network.

Regent5 plans those layers together so camera bandwidth, access-control traffic, automation, AV and guest networks remain separated where needed without creating an unmanageable collection of independent systems.

UniFi Protect

VIDEO + LOCAL STORAGE

Camera coverage, local recording and supported AI detections provide the visual layer for driveways, gates, perimeters and interior security zones.

UniFi Access

ENTRY + CREDENTIALS

Readers, intercoms, door hubs and gate hubs coordinate credentials and visitor entry with the physical locking and gate-control hardware.

Camera and access-control reliability depends on PoE capacity, switching, internet, fiber and UPS power being sized around the full property.

Gate operators, electric locks, life-safety requirements and door hardware still require proper physical-system engineering beyond the network platform.

UniFi Access Readers, Intercoms & Gate Entry

UniFi Access supports current readers and intercoms along with Door Hub, Gate Hub and enterprise access hardware. Regent5 coordinates credentials, locking hardware, gate operators, request-to-exit devices, cameras and backup power.

U7 Pro WiFi 7

Ceiling-mounted WiFi 7 access point with 6 GHz support, high client capacity and 2.5 GbE uplink capability.

AI Pro 4K Camera

4K UniFi Protect camera with optical zoom and advanced recognition and detection capabilities for key estate zones.

Current UniFi Network, Protect & Access Hardware

UniFi combines locally operating network and security hardware with centralized management, so critical services are not designed around a collection of unrelated cloud subscriptions.

G3 INTERCOM

Weather-rated entry station supporting modern credentials, visitor communication and integrated door or gate workflows.

PRO MAX 24 POE

High-capacity PoE switching with 1 GbE, 2.5 GbE and 10G uplink connectivity for demanding estate networks.

That architecture still depends on correct network ownership, credentials, firmware, backup power and documentation for long-term serviceability.

One Infrastructure Layer for the Entire Estate

A well-designed UniFi system can carry automation, AV, surveillance, access control, intercoms, HVAC, lighting, pool equipment, staff devices and guest networks. Regent5 separates critical systems with VLANs and policy while coordinating fiber, racks, PoE budgets and UPS power across buildings.
