Network door controllers

Axis network door controllers, centralized installations, at the door installations
Open and flexible access control – powered by IP

Axis network door controllers, built on open‑architecture IP, form the core of modern access control systems. They offer a smarter, more flexible, and future‑ready alternative to traditional access control solutions.

Smart, scalable access control

Providing both at the door - or centralized multi-door controllers, it’s easy to scale your access control solution. Whether you want to start with access control for a single building and later expand it to your entire complex – or you just want to control access to a single elevator, Axis has a range of network door controller to meet your needs. For instance, you can start with standalone access control and later on integrate with other software systems. 

Flexible installation options

These smart door controllers include everything you need to manage your doors—powered through a single PoE cable for fast, efficient installation. Our edge‑based controllers can independently manage all access control tasks, even if the network goes down. For larger setups, we also offer multi‑door controllers that manage several doors at once. Ideal for both new and retrofit installations, they’re designed for centralized deployments using Axis or third‑party cabinets, such as in security rooms or main controller rooms. These powerful all‑in‑one controllers provide complete control for up to eight doors, with onboard support for up to 16 OSDP readers and 16 powerful locks.

Reliable and secure access

Axis Edge Vault, a hardware-based cybersecurity platform, safeguards the device and protects sensitive information from unauthorized access. It also ensures cryptographic keys are safely and securely stored in the onboard EAL6+ Certified compute module. Axis network door controllers are Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) Verified to ensure secure bidirectional communication. Additionally, they offer flexible and secure authentication using different types of credentials such as card or PIN codes, Bluetooth and dynamic QR Codes for visitor access, and license plates for vehicle access. What’s more, multi-factor authentication ensures enhanced security.

Open architecture for a smarter access control system

Axis network door controllers offer true openness, giving you the freedom to use them with Axis software or with open‑standard hardware and software from the supplier of your choice. Built on an open platform, they allow you to integrate your access control system with a wide range of systems and solutions. For example, you can connect your access control system to your video management solution to trigger a camera or send an alert when a door is propped open or integrate it with your time and attendance system. With an open ecosystem, the possibilities are nearly endless.
