Key benefits of the second generation access control products

With a focus on providing seamless and efficient access management, Hikvision’s second generation professional access control products encompass a wide range of powerful features and functionalities. These include:

Easy web management -  The new products support seamless configuration and operation of the access control system through a user-friendly web management interface which can be managed either via a PC or a mobile device in AP mode.

Flexible authentication options -  Users can now choose from a wide variety of authentication methods including traditional card, authentication, fingerprint, and PIN code, to more modern mobile identity checking technologies including Bluetooth, NFC, and QR code.

Professional access applications -  The second generation products provide advanced access strategies to enhance security and refine access control based on specific needs. These strategies include multi-door interlocking, anti-passback, First Person In, and multi-factor authentication. The customisable Wiegand & OSDP V2.X also contributes to a robust and efficient access control system.

Converged and unified security solution -  Hikvision’s access control solutions go beyond just access control management. They seamlessly integrate with Hikvision’s video security, video intercom, and alarm systems, providing a unified security solution.
