Name | Description |
|---|---|
Enable | Enable or disable the integrated access control system. If you disable this setting, your XProtect system will no longer receive access control events. Integrated access control systems are enabled and visible in XProtect Smart Client by default for users with sufficient permissions. Sometimes, you might need to disable access control events, such as during maintenance, to avoid generating unnecessary alarms. |
Name | Add or edit the name of the access control system integration shown in the Management Client and other clients. |
Description | Add a description of the access control integration (optional). |
Integration plug-in | Displays the type of access control system selected during the initial integration. |
Last configuration refresh | Displays the date and time when the configuration was last imported from the access control system. |
Refresh configuration | Click this button when you have made configuration changes in the integrated access control system and want to reflect them in XProtect, such as adding or deleting a door. After you click the button, a summary of the configuration changes from the access control system is displayed. Review the list to ensure your access control system is correctly reflected before applying the new configuration. |
Operator login required | If the access control system supports differentiated user permissions, enable an additional login for the client users. If you enable this setting, the access control system will not be available in XProtect Mobile client. This setting is only displayed if the integration plug-in supports differentiated user permissions. |
