Configure an integrated access control system

This section provides the steps for a successful creation and configuration of an integrated access control system.

Requirements

You have purchased the required XProtect Access licenses.
You have installed the integration plug-in specific for your access control system on the event server.

Add the integrated access control system to your XProtect system. See Wizard for access control system integration. The wizard takes you through the most basic steps.
Specify additional properties for the access control system integration, especially the access control events may require that you map events from the access control system with event categories that XProtect recognizes. See Access control properties.
You need to create a role with permission to use access control features in XProtect Smart Client. See Access Control tab.
You also need to associate this role with a Smart Client profile. See Smart Client profile properties.
The system provides a default rule that lets you access request notifications appear on the XProtect Smart Client screen in case of access denied. You can add and modify access request notifications, see Access Request Notification (properties).
You can create additional rules based on actions and events from the access control system. See Actions and stop actions (explained) and Events overview.
If required, change the overall access control settings in Options > Access Control Settings. See Access Control Settings tab.
