Access Control

From simple door access to larger multi-site systems, Axis access control solutions help protect your business while giving you the flexibility to grow over time.

A Complete Access Control System

Axis access control solutions are designed to support both small and more advanced security needs. With AXIS Camera Station Secure Entry, businesses can manage doors, users, and credentials through an integrated system that is simple to deploy and easy to use.

This makes it a strong fit for small to medium-sized installations that need reliable access control without unnecessary complexity.

Centralized Multi-Door Control

Axis network door controllers make it easier to manage multiple doors from a centralized location. Their compact design works well in security rooms, cabinets, and other space-limited environments.

With built-in lock power, simplified wiring, and color-coded connectors, Axis controllers help reduce installation time and hardware requirements. Select controllers can support up to eight doors, making them a practical option for efficient multi-door access management.

Flexible, Secure Entry

Axis readers support secure entry at doors, gates, and other access points. Network and OSDP readers are designed to work with Axis door controllers and credentials, helping create a smooth and secure access experience.

Network readers can manage door components such as locks, request-to-exit devices, and door position sensors. OSDP readers are a strong choice for exterior doors and gates, offering encrypted communication and added protection against physical and cyber threats.

Access Control That Grows With You

Axis access control solutions can scale from a single door or building to a larger, more complex system. Businesses can start with basic access control and expand over time to include additional doors, elevators, buildings, or software integrations.

For larger systems with advanced access rules, Axis partner software can support more complex enterprise-level needs.

Network Door Controllers

Flexible IP-based access control for modern security systems

Axis network door controllers make it easy to manage access at a single door, elevator, building, or across a larger facility. Built on open IP technology, they provide a flexible alternative to traditional access control hardware and can scale as your needs grow.

Axis offers both at-the-door and centralized multi-door controller options for new or retrofit installations. With PoE support, compact designs, and edge-based intelligence, these controllers help simplify installation while keeping doors operational even during network interruptions.

For larger systems, select controllers can manage up to eight doors, 16 OSDP readers, and 16 locks. Axis enclosure kits are also available to support faster, more organized deployments with integrated power, backup battery support, and lockable steel enclosures.

Built-in cybersecurity features help protect devices, credentials, and sensitive data. Axis controllers also support secure credential options such as cards, PIN codes, Bluetooth, QR codes, license plate recognition, and multi-factor authentication.

With an open architecture, Axis network door controllers can integrate with Axis software or compatible third-party systems, including video management, alerts, and time and attendance platforms.

Readers

Flexible, secure entry for doors, gates, and access points

Axis offers a range of IP and OSDP readers designed to work with Axis access control systems. With sleek designs, reliable performance, and support for multiple credential types, these readers can be used in both small and larger security setups.

OSDP readers are a strong choice for high-security areas such as exterior doors and gates. Built for indoor and outdoor use, they support encrypted communication, secure onboarding, tamper detection, and added protection against cyber and physical threats.

IP readers provide a scalable, all-in-one option for managing door access. Using PoE, they connect with a single cable for power and network communication, helping reduce wiring and installation costs. Select Axis door controllers can support up to 16 readers, with remote software updates and access management available.

Axis also offers mobile access options with Bluetooth support, allowing users and visitors to unlock doors using the AXIS Mobile Credential app or compatible RFID credentials.
