Accessories that complement your access control systemA complete end‐to‐end access control system
Traditional access control systems are often built for large, multi‐door installations, but Axis solutions can be scaled and optimized for any size or security need. AXIS Camera Station Secure Entry provides a validated, end‐to‐end access control solution designed for trouble‐free management of multiple sites. It is particularly well‐suited for small to medium‐sized installations, making it fast and easy to deploy a complete, integrated access control system.
Centralized multi‐door control
Axis offers multi‐door network controllers designed for versatile, centralized installation in security rooms or cabinet environments. These compact, barebone devices feature a smaller footprint than most traditional door controllers, making them ideal for space‐constrained setups. With onboard lock power and built‐in lock power management, these all‐in‐one door controllers streamline wiring, reduce hardware requirements, and simplify complex installations. They provide full control for up to eight doors, enabling efficient centralized access management. Additionally, color‐coded connectors ensure fast, intuitive cable management and further minimize installation complexity.
Flexible, secure entry at every access point
Axis offers Network and OSDP readers to complement our access control systems, combining sleek design with robust performance. Designed for seamless use with Axis network door controllers and credentials, they enable secure, touch-free entry. Network readers manage the entire door, including the door lock, REX and door position sensors, and support up to 16 readers per door controller via PoE. OSDP readers are ideal for exterior doors and gates, providing strong cyber and physical protection with secure end-to-end encryption. Up to eight readers per Axis network door controller and can be remotely managed through the door controller.
Access control that scales with your business
With our open systems and broad portfolio, Axis access control solutions offer tight integration to ensure you get the most out of your access control system. They can be optimized for any need—small and large. Whether that means starting with access control for a single building and later expanding it to your entire complex – or just to your elevators, for example. Or beginning with stand-alone access control and adding integration with other software systems in the future. For systems involving a large number of doors or highly complex access rules, software from Axis partners enables cutting-edge enterprise solutions.
