Why choose Axis door controllers
Axis Communication’s approach to physical access control is grounded in IT security solution best practice. Axis have over 30 years of experience in developing IP connected devices, particularly security cameras, and they are bringing their globally successful open platform philosophy to the field of door access control.
The AXIS IP network door controllers provide a non-proprietary platform for physical access control that meets typical requirements for enterprises big and small. The open API’s, and ONVIF Profile C conformance, also allows video, intrusion detection and other systems to easily be integrated.
Axis door controllers are compatible with most types of door access card reader on the market, and can be powered using PoE / PoE+. Each unit can control one or two doors, and when integrated with EdgeConnector they operates as fully online controllers, with internal backup database for fall-back operation in the event of network outage.
