Access Control Systems in San Rafael
Give the right people access without relying on a shared code that keeps circulating. Clear Telecommunications designs and installs UniFi Access systems for San Rafael offices, condominium communities, HOAs and managed properties.
From our office at 851 Irwin St, Suite 222, San Rafael, CA 94901, we help property managers coordinate door hardware, credentials, wiring and administration as one project.
A Better Way to Manage Doors and Shared Amenities
A resident turnover, lost credential or change in operating hours should not require redistributing the same code to everyone. We plan permissions around the people and spaces on your property, including staff, residents and service providers.
For an HOA or condominium community, that may mean different access groups for a clubhouse, pool, tennis courts or bike storage. For an office, it may mean distinguishing a shared entrance from rooms that only certain staff should enter.
- Individual credentials and access groups instead of one shared entry code.
- Permissions and schedules aligned with each entrance or amenity.
- Centralized administration and access activity for authorized managers.
- Remote management with a suitable network connection and configured administrator access.
- Reader and credential choices matched to the selected UniFi Access equipment.
Available credential methods and features depend on the hardware and software selected. We confirm those details in the project scope instead of assuming every reader supports every option.
Proof from a Marin County Condo Community
A Marin County condominium community had an aging battery-operated system and a shared access code with little visibility into entry activity. Clear installed UniFi Access for its pool, tennis courts, bathrooms and bike-storage areas, with camera coverage added at bike storage.
The documented upgrade gave the board centralized management, distinct access groups and the ability to grant or revoke access without visiting each reader. The project shows the practical value for a board and property manager—not just a new device at the door.
Plan the Whole Opening—not Just the Reader
The door, gate, existing lock, power and cable route all affect the installation. We assess each opening and coordinate the electronic hardware and network with your property’s operating needs.
For office moves, tenant improvements and community upgrades, we discuss building access, work sequencing and coordination with the property manager, general contractor or IT team. Required approvals and door-hardware responsibilities are confirmed for the project before installation.
- Review existing doors, gates and locking hardware before selecting readers and controllers.
- Coordinate pathways, network equipment and power requirements.
- Define who manages credentials, schedules and permission changes.
- Discuss camera coverage where a view of a shared entrance or amenity is useful.
A Handoff Your Property Team Can Use
We set up administrator roles and walk your team through adding users, changing access permissions and reviewing activity. Organized cabling and system documentation support future service and expansion.
Start with the entrances and amenities you need to manage, the current hardware and the day-to-day problems you want to solve. We can then recommend the next step and prepare a project-specific scope.

San Rafael Access control systems FAQs
Do you work with San Rafael HOAs and property managers?
Yes. We plan access systems for offices, condominium communities, shared amenities and other managed properties. The plan covers the openings, access groups, permissions and people who will administer the system.
Can a property manager grant or revoke access remotely?
UniFi Access supports remote administration when the network, administrator permissions and remote access are configured appropriately. We confirm the selected system’s capabilities and demonstrate the management workflow at handoff.
Can you upgrade a shared-code system?
Yes. We review the doors or gates, existing hardware, wiring and management requirements. The replacement may use individual credentials, groups and schedules, with the available methods confirmed for the equipment selected.
Can access control and cameras be planned together?
Yes. We can coordinate camera coverage, access control and the cabling and network behind them. Any video or intercom features are confirmed for the selected hardware and software rather than assumed for every opening.
