About access control integration
The use of XProtect Access Control Module requires that you have purchased a license that allows
you to access this feature.
You can use XProtect Access Control Module with access control systems from vendors that have a
vendor-specific plug-in for XProtect Access Control Module.
Access control in XProtect Smart Client integrates events from the access control system with the
features of the XProtect video management software. The information from the access control system
generates events in the XProtect system. On the Live tab, you can monitor access control events in
real time, and on the Access Control tab, you can view and investigate particular events and door
states.
The Live tab lets you view video from the cameras associated with a door, giving you a full overview
of the live access control events associated with these cameras. In setup mode, you can customize
your Access Monitor view items with overlay buttons and map integration.
When a person requests access, a separate notification pops up with a list of related information next
to the camera feed. You can trigger access control commands, such as locking and unlocking of
doors.
The Access Control tab provides a dedicated view of all your access control events and a view of the
current door states. You can easily search events and review any related footage. The filter option lets
you view events from a particular time, door or cardholder. You can create a report of the events for
exporting.
The door view includes a list of the doors and their current state. When you select a door, all the
associated cameras show live video on the right-hand side of the screen together with detailed
information.
About access control on the Live tab
On the Live tab, you can view video of access control events from the cameras associated with
access control sources, displayed as a list of events on the right of the video.
When you click any of the events in the list, the live video automatically pauses and changes to
independent playback of the event. To go back to viewing live video, either click the event again or
click the Independent playback icon on the camera toolbar.
If the system and the event hold cardholder information, you can click the search icon next to the
cardholder name on a selected event to jump to the Access Control tab and view all events
associated with this person.
Add Access Monitors to Views
1. On the Live tab, in setup mode, select the view you want to add an access control camera to.
