Ubiquiti UniFi Access Retrofit Reader W

Professional OSDP reader for upgrading existing access systems using original cabling

Retrofit Reader W is a universal outdoor and indoor reader designed for integration with the UniFi Access system via the UniFi Retrofit Hub. It supports modern authentication methods including NFC cards and tags, Apple Wallet and Google Wallet and mobile unlocking via Bluetooth 4.1. Thanks to the OSDP v2 communication protocol, it ensures secure and encrypted data transmission.

The reader stands out with its durable polycarbonate and aluminum alloy construction with IP55 protection, which allows outdoor installation even at extreme temperatures from -30 to +50 °C. Compact dimensions 117 × 45 × 13.3 mm and weight of only 82 g make it easy to mount on a wall or a standard electrical installation box.

• Support for NFC technologies ISO 14443A, 14443B, 15693 including MIFARE Classic, Plus, Ultralight and DESFire at a frequency of 13.56 MHz with a range of up to 30 mm
• Secure communication protocol OSDP v2 for encrypted data transmission via RS-485 interface
• Possibility of daisy chaining up to 2 readers per door for entry and exit control
• Color LED signaling (red, green, blue, white) and integrated speaker for user feedback
• Durable construction with IP55 protection and operating temperature from -30 to +50 °C for outdoor installations
• Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) up to ±15 kV air and ±8 kV contact
• Low consumption of maximum 2.5 W when powered by 12 V DC with stainless steel mounting material
• CE, FCC and IC certification for compliance with international standards

Compatibility and connectivity

The reader is designed exclusively for use with UniFi Retrofit Hub and does not support connection to third-party access systems. Connection is made via RS-485 interface using existing cabling, which significantly reduces the cost of modernization. Daisy-chaining allows the installation of two readers on one door without the need for additional cables.

Advanced Security

The Retrofit Reader W complies with NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) requirements and uses the secure OSDP version 2 protocol for encrypted communication. Support for a wide range of NFC technologies including MIFARE DESFire ensures compatibility with modern security standards.

Management and Configuration

The reader is managed via the UniFi Access application, which allows centralized configuration, monitoring and management of access rights. The current software version can be verified at unifi.ui.com. A physical button is available for factory reset.
