ACUs

Select the access control unit (ACU) you want to view access control events from.

When you select an ACU, the available settings are displayed with their current values.

Sources

Select the type of access control sources you want to receive events from. The list of sources can contain doors or specific access points for a door.

  • An access point is a point of entry, including its associated physical devices such as card readers, keypads, sensors, or buttons.

  • A door typically has two access points that control entry and exit through the door.

Your system administrator configures the list of sources.

By default, XProtect lists the cameras that your system administrator has associated with the selected door, but you can also select another camera in your XProtect system.

You can select events from the event categories defined by your XProtect system administrator or from the list of events defined in your integrated access control system.

Select the command buttons to display on the access monitor, such as lock and unlock doors.

Your system configuration defines the list of available commands.
