Axis launches integration with HID's Mobile Access

Lund, Sweden

The new Axis HID Global combined solution, thought to be the first IP-based, end-to-end solution, enables mobile devices such as smartphones to function as credentials.

Axis Communications will launch the integration of HID Global’s Mobile Access with its Axis A1001 network door controller and Axis Entry Manager software at Ifsec International next week.  The solution, thought to be the first IP-based, end-to-end solution, enables mobile devices such as smartphones to function as credentials, allowing people to gain access to secured buildings, rooms and areas.

Mobile devices and smartphones are ubiquitous today and their functionality continues to advance to include an ever more diverse set of applications, from contactless payments to health tracking. By integrating HID Global’s Mobile Access with its software and door controller, Axis has created a solution which combines the convenience expected in a mobile-first world with the levels of security demanded by businesses and their employees.

“Axis and HID are both well-known, global brands that are partnering together to develop open, IP-based secure access solutions. Mobile credentials are finally gaining greater acceptance and adoption thanks to an increasingly mobile-first perspective. This mobile access control offering demonstrates Axis’ innovative solutions to the market in partnering with a leader such as HID. It is an easy-to-deploy, easy-to-use solution,” says Stephanie Hensler, Axis Communications Director of Business Development, Access Control.”

The HID and Axis mobile access offering has been designed to encompass everything necessary for small-, medium- or enterprise-sized organisations to deploy mobile access control.

The solution stores secure identities on smartphones for opening doors and locks instead of managing traditional printed identity credentials. This improves convenience for end users and represents a more cost-effective and simpler way to manage credentials. It also provides the highest levels of security and privacy protection available in access control.

The integration features Axis Entry Manager software to manage all connected Axis A1001 network door controllers as well as the HID cloud-based portal to manage users and mobile IDs. Other third-party software can also be used for integrating more advanced access management functionalities.
