Some of the fields to fill out and their default values are inherited from the integration plug-in.
Therefore the appearance of the wizard may differ depending on the access control system you
integrate with.
To start the wizard, select Access Control in the node tree, right-click, and click Create new.
Steps in this wizard:
Create access control system integration ............................................. 152
Connecting to the access control system .............................................. 152
Associated cameras .............................................................................. 152
Final summary ....................................................................................... 152
Create access control system integration
Enter the name and specify the connection details for the access control system you want to add. The
parameters that you must specify depend on the type of system, but are typically the network address
of the access control system server and an access control administrator user name and password.
The video management system uses the specified user name and password to log into the access
control system for retrieving the full configuration.
The integration plug-in may also define secondary parameters which are not listed in the wizard, but
you can change these in General Settings after setting up the integration. The default values for the
parameters are supplied by the plug-in or the XProtect system.
Connecting to the access control system
When the plug-in has been successfully integrated, a summary of the retrieved access control system
configuration appears. Review the list to ensure that all items have been integrated before you
continue to the next step of the wizard.
Associated cameras
Map access points in the access control system with the cameras in the XProtect system, to show
related video for events from the doors.
You can map several cameras to one access point. The XProtect Smart Client user is then able to
view video from all the cameras when investigating events, for example.
The XProtect Smart Client user is also able to add one of the cameras when configuring Access
Monitor view items.
Licensed doors are by default enabled. Clear the check box to disable a door and thereby free a
license.
Final summary
Your access control system integration has been successfully created in XProtect with default settings
inherited from the integration plug-in. Client users must log into XProtect Smart Client to see and use
the new access control system.
