Integrated access control solutions come in many different forms from lots of different manufacturers but Paxton Access control systems are some of the best, most flexible and competative in the security industry. Paxton are arguably the market leader today for access control in the UK.
The NET 2 access control system is their primary product and is a PC based system with the user database held on a host PC. The access control software is able run door controllers servicing up to 50,000 users. 3 main door controllers are at the centre of the Paxton portfolio, all designed to fit into different scenarios dependant on the layout of the site. These are the Net2 plus, Net2 nano and Net2 classic .
The Paxton classic is an RS485 based system. Each controller will accommodate 2 readers and sits above the local door requiring control. Paxton’s thinking and one of the main reasons behind its success is that it is able to fit into just about every situation required and because of the simple topology the system can be build to a large scale and still remain cost competitive. It’s simple for more doors as well, just add another controller. Add up to 500 doors in this manner and up to 50,000 users and you have a very flexible solution.
Now IP access control is central to most security installations Paxton has introduced the Net2 plus. Net2 plus is an IP based controller. The Net2 plus controller is able to integrate with the classic. If you are in a situation where you need to expand an existing system you are able to mix and match the Net2 classic and the Net2 plus to gain the most cost effective solution.
Paxton have also realized that wireless controllers in certain situations cut the cost of installations. For a wireless access control solution you will need to use the Net2 Nano. This door controller it can connect to the network through a 2.4GHZ radio path. Once again the Paxton Net2 nano fits alongside both the classic and the Net2 plus for seamless integration.
Paxton Net2 has become a favorite amongst installers because of cost effectiveness ease of installation and the readers are well finished and classically designed, it seems that customers needs can always be answered so Paxton have a firm grip on the market place.
Its not just doors that can be run with the Net2 system. Building management systems are easily integrated. Paxton also produce many ancillary products such as the I/O unit (input /output) to ensure seamless integration between different security and building management solutions.
All types of access control reader solutions are also available.Vandal proof readers, keypads, biometric fingerprint scanners to name a few. Most third party readers can also be integrated into the the controllers again assisting installers keep costs down when taking systems over.
The paxton website that is is one of the best in the security industry,Paxton staff are always on hand to provide technical support for registered installers and downloads of the latest firmware always available. An excellent loyalty scheme is in place and this ensures that installers are always keen to go back to Paxton when they have new installations to quote for.
The units are all manufactured at a specially designed factory site in Eastbourne, Paxton are UK through and through.What is more their products are reknowned for reliability.Integrtaed access control soultions are a growing business and Net2 fits perfectly into this market place So if you are considering installing an integrated access control system,we suggest you look seriously at the paxton Net2 range.
Paxton integrated access control solutions
Paxton integrated access control solutions are some of the best in the security industry today. Paxton based in Brighton, they are now the market leader for access control in the UK.

For more doors just add another controller and the two are integrated together using simple 485 communication. Add up to 500 doors in this manner and up to 50,000 users and you have a very flexible solution.
As we start to move into a situation where IP access control is now at the heart of many security installations Paxton introduced the Net2 plus. This is an IP based controller and sits easily on a PC network. Still happily able to integrate with the classic you are able to mix and match controllers in order to gain the most cost effective solution.
Not to be outdone by their competitors the forward thinking staff at Paxton also realized that wireless controllers could also cut the cost of installations in certain cases. This is where the Net2 nano comes into the equation. A wireless door controller it can connect to the network through a 2.4GHZ radio path that uses a bridge at its heart. Once again the nano fits seamlessly in with both the classic and the plus to ensure that no installation is made difficult.

It also must be noted that its not just doors that can be run with the Net2 system. Integrated CCTV and building management systems are easily achievable. Safety features, such as only letting authorised operators start their machines means that everyday uses For Net2 can be everywhere. With this in mind Paxton produce many ancillary products to ensure seamless integration between different security and building management solutions.
Vandal proof readers, keypads, biometric fingerprint scanners can all be integrated into the the controllers and they do not have to be Paxton products. So takeovers and upgrades are always achievable.
With a website that is is one of the best in the security industry, technical support for registered installers is always at hand and downloads of the latest firmware always available. Paxton also operate an excellent loyalty scheme that ensures that installers are always keen to go back.

Honeywell and SureView unite
SureView and Honeywell unite.
Honeywell are actively encouraging collaboration within the security industry as part of its drive to promote the Honeywell open technology alliance. The latest company to come on board is SureView the company behind Immix the central station management software.
The alliance suits both parties and the integration between Immix and WIN-PAK CS 4.1 means integrated access control now has an added level of security and allows other manufacturers equipment to be displayed to the operator through a single graphical interface. This means a response and full management of a an access control system is handled in just one location thus eliminating the need for an on-site guard with all the saving that this can bring.
The whole concept gives companies like SureView the opportunity to offer their customers more choice when designing there security systems and to ensure integration between different products is made simple. In essence the software captures alerts and alarms from the on-site access control and seamlessly matches this to CCTV images from the cameras on site.
Any integration between access control and CCTV is welcomed and is certainly the way forward for the industry.
