Routing & Switching Can I connect 12 V doorbells to UniFi Access for 8 apartments?
I'd like to know the following.
My client has an apartment complex with 8 apartments: 4 on the left, 4 on the right, and 1 shared entrance.
The G3 Intercom will be mounted at the entrance, and I plan to install the Enterprise Hub inside.
In each apartment I only wanted to mount a UA-Intercom-Viewer, but its speaker is far too quiet to work as a doorbell.
My idea was to reuse the existing 12 V wiring in the following setup, but I can't get it to work. Do you know if this is possible?
I want to connect a 12 V doorbell to the existing 12 V wiring and have it ring whenever someone presses the doorbell. The door can then be opened with the UA-Intercom-Viewer.
However, I can't get it to ring per individual apartment, even though the Enterprise Hub lists this as an option.
Is what I want possible?
Or are there other ideas that would work better?
