The Reading-based distributor Norbain can now offer customers the new Axis A1001 Network Door Controller with built-in web-based software. Axis has added its physical access control products to its network video products. The controller is a smart, independent device at each door, so system management can be carried out from the controller.
The companies describe the product as the first non-proprietary and open IP-based access controller on the market.
Axis Entry Manager (Axis A1001 with built-in software) is described as a ready-made solution for small- to mid-sized businesses – such as offices, commercial premises and retail stores – with typically ten doors and basic access control requirements.
For larger systems, the Axis A1001’s open Application Programming Interface (API) enables Axis’ Application Development Partners (ADP) to meet specific customer requirements.
According to the firms, the controller allows integration with other IP systems such as fire and intrusion detection. A PoE supported controller at each door eliminates the need for separate power cables for door equipment such as locks and readers.
