Why Unifi

Buy the hardware once.
Own it forever.

Most enterprise vendors charge monthly per seat, per camera, or per door. Unifi doesn’t. Here’s what that means for your bottom line.

$0/mo
No Licensing Fees. Ever.

The Unifi controller software is free. No per-seat fees, no camera subscriptions, no renewals. Pay for the hardware once. That’s it. Most owners recover the cost difference within 18 months.

100%
Your Data Stays Local.

Camera footage, access logs, and network data never leave your building. It all lives on your hardware. Not someone else’s cloud. That matters if you’re handling customer data, patient records, or anything sensitive.

1 app
One App. Four Systems.

Wi-Fi, cameras, door access, and phones all in one dashboard and one app. No juggling vendor portals. No calling three support lines when something breaks. One system your staff can actually use.

Real-World Results

How Pittsburgh businesses run
on OpenChannel IT.

Real projects. Real savings. Each one replaced a patchwork of vendor systems with a single setup the owner actually controls.

Hospitality — Strip District, Pittsburgh
Boutique hotel replaces three vendor systems with one
Network Protect Access Talk
Separate SSIDs for guests, staff, and IoT devices. Single managed network, no overlap.
24 cameras covering parking, corridors, lobby, and back-of-house. All recorded on-site.
NFC and mobile entry for guest rooms and staff areas. Replaced a legacy card reader system.
Unifi Talk at the front desk with extensions to housekeeping and management.
Outcome
Cut $480/month in licensing fees across three systems. Night manager checks cameras and unlocks service doors from an iPhone.
Commercial Real Estate — Downtown Pittsburgh
Multi-tenant office building adds smart access as an amenity
Network Access Protect
Each tenant gets their own isolated Wi-Fi network. Full VLAN separation from neighboring suites.
Mobile door access per floor and suite, with time-based schedules for cleaning crews.
Lobby and parking cameras with remote playback. Building manager pulls footage from their phone.
Full control handed to the property management team after a two-hour training session.
Outcome
Landlord now markets "smart building Wi-Fi included" to attract premium tenants. No IT staff needed. The PM team runs it themselves.
Food & Beverage — Three Pittsburgh Locations
Restaurant group gains visibility across all three kitchens
Network Protect
Branded guest Wi-Fi with a captive portal at all three locations. Managed from one dashboard.
Kitchen and dining room cameras give the owner a live view across all three sites at once.
Motion alerts hit the owner's phone before the doors open and after they close.
Point-of-sale and kitchen displays on a dedicated VLAN. Completely separated from guest traffic.
Outcome
Owner watches all three kitchens from one app. Replaced a $220/month cloud subscription with local hardware that paid for itself in 11 months.
How We Work

We install it. Then you decide
who runs it.

Every job ends the same way: a fully documented system that works. What happens after that is your call.

Option A
OpenChannel IT Manages It

We stay on after the install. Your system stays monitored, updated, and running without an in-house IT team.

Proactive firmware and security updates
Remote monitoring and troubleshooting
Dedicated Pittsburgh-based support contact
On-site response for hardware issues
User adds, removes, and changes handled for you
Option B
Your IT Team Takes Over

We hand your IT team or MSP a fully documented, production-ready system. Everything they need to own it. No black-box dependencies on us.

Full network documentation and topology diagram
Admin credentials and controller access transferred
Live walkthrough and training for your IT staff
30-day post-install support window included
No lock-in. The system runs without us.
We don't mark up hardware. You pay close to manufacturer pricing. Our revenue comes from installation and service, not from inflating equipment costs. When we recommend something, it’s because your space needs it.
Where We Work

Based in Pittsburgh.
Serving the region.

We work across the Pittsburgh metro. Downtown, the North Shore, north and east suburbs. On-site when you need us. Same-day response for managed clients.
