Unite video and access control

On this page, we cover the challenges of separate video and access control systems, the benefits of uniting them, and an overview of our solution AXIS Secure Entry for XProtect. We'll also look at how to install, setup, configure, operate, and maintain your system.

 

Separate systems

Separate systems force security teams to manage multiple interfaces and lack visual verification of door entry events, slowing response times and investigations while increasing administration and training overheads. They also drive up costs through redundant infrastructure and support, limit visibility and automation, and reduce insights. Inconsistent data across systems can make audits more complex.
