Networked access control offers centralised control of your building from a PC. This means that commands given at the PC are sent to each of the doors instantly, such as opening doors, barring tokens and building lockdown. Other benefits of this type of system are flexible control, allowing different permissions for individuals or groups of users.

This type of system may be used to control access on one or many independent doors in a building. Access is gained by using a PIN or electronic token, and there is no need for a PC or network. Unlike a networked system, a standalone system is programmed at each door. If tokens need to be barred or codes changed, this action must be completed at every door on the system.

Access control with online software means that a system administrator can access the system remotely, from anywhere with an internet connection. This system supports all the functionality of a networked system, without the need for a centralised PC to host the software. A benefit of this system is combined surveillance and video management from one unified platform. Paxton10 also supports free of charge Bluetooth® smartphone credentials and a range of RFID token technologies.
