Access Professional Edition offers a broad range of access and security functions including integration to video surveillance, intrusion, and elevator control systems. Among the new features available, users are better able to secure their perimeter with the assistance of up to 5 cameras around a door to ensure that the right person is entering the secured area. Archived recordings originally triggered by alarm events (e.g. forced entry, exceeded opening time or use of false credentials) can be provided by the system to clarify past occurrences. The software also supports authorization management for standalone offline readers.

Beyond the new supported hardware and integration, operator functions were also enhanced allowing additional customization and flexibility for the end user. The system supports up to 16 simultaneous users with different profiles to assure data is available at all times to all users. The system's increased flexibility offers an individual to hold credentials in different formats and technologies, e.g. a key-fob, a card or a long-range UHF token (Ultra High Frequency). This allows new and legacy equipment to coexist, and hence allows a gradual, budget-friendly migration from one reader technology to another.

Furthermore, the new Access Professional Edition is compatible with industry-standard access control readers and credentials. And due to its modular family-compatible hardware, the system can be upgraded to the Bosch access control enterprise solution Access Engine (ACE) in a fast and economical manner.
