About access control integration
The use of XProtect Access Control Module requires that you have purchased a license that allows
you to access this feature.
You can use XProtect Access Control Module with access control systems from vendors that have a
vendor-specific plug-in for XProtect Access Control Module.
The access control integration feature introduces new functionality that makes it simple to integrate
customers’ access control systems with XProtect. You get:

A common operator user interface for multiple access control systems in the XProtect Smart
Client

Faster and more powerful integration of access control systems

More functionality (see below)
In the XProtect Smart Client, the operator gets:

Live monitoring of access control events

Operator aided passage for access requests

Map integration

Alarm definitions for access control events

Investigation of access control events

Centralized door state overview and control

Cardholder information
Apart from a license, you need a vendor-specific integration plug-in installed on the event server
before you can start an integration.
Wizard for access control system integration
The Access control system integration wizard is for step-by-step configuration of the initial
integration with an access control system. Use the wizard to get through the most basic configuration
tasks. You can do more detailed configuration afterwards.
Before you start the access control integration wizard make sure you have the integration plug-in
installed on the event server.
