Create access control system integration

In the wizard for access control system integration, enter the name and specify the connection details for the access control system that you want to add. The parameters that you must specify depend on the type of system, but typically, they are 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 an access control door license.

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.

You can refine the configuration if needed.
