About Axis Communications

Axis brings the same IP-native, cybersecurity-first philosophy to access control that revolutionized video surveillance. The Axis network door controller (A1601), door stations, and readers use standard IP networking infrastructure — eliminating the need for proprietary access control wiring while delivering enterprise-grade encryption and certificate-based authentication.

An Axis access control system integrates seamlessly with Axis cameras and the AXIS Camera Station platform, creating a tightly unified video and access experience. For organizations already standardized on Axis cameras, adding Axis access control is the most natural path to a unified security ecosystem.

The OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) support across all Axis access hardware ensures compatibility with industry-standard readers and credentials — including mobile and multi-factor options.
