Access Control (Solution Details)

Y6OS integrates seamlessly with leading access hardware to create a complete, connected security network. Each device becomes part of one unified system for stronger, smarter control.Core Access Control Capabilities

Capabilities

    • Cloud-Native Management: Eliminate on-premise servers with centralized, cloud-based policy control—manage all locations from a single dashboard.
    • Controller & Barrier Architecture: Supports remote management of barriers (doors and gates) through credential-authenticating controllers.
    • Flexible Policy Engine: Configure access rules using Barrier Groups, Identity Groups, Schedules, and Authentication Profiles (e.g., Card, Card + PIN, REX) to define who can access what, when, and how.
    • Real-Time Barrier Controls: View live status, control lock/unlock modes, and monitor real-time events such as forced or held-open doors.

Software & Hardware Compatibility

    • Controller Support: Supports Axis A1210, A1610, and A1601 models that meet minimum firmware requirements.
    • Reader Compatibility: Works with both Wiegand and OSDP V2 communication protocols.
    • Credential Options: Accepts 13.56MHz (recommended) and 125kHz cards/fobs, PIN codes, and mobile credentials (Bluetooth on iOS).
    • Credential Format: Uses hexadecimal formatting that must match the reader’s output structure.
    • User Capacity: Allows up to 10,000 unique identities per organization.
    • Authentication Methods: Supports Card-only, Card + PIN, and Request-to-Exit (REX) configurations.
    • Live Controls: Remotely lock, unlock, or grant access to barriers directly from the YourSixOS platform.
    • Time-Based Access: Define daily access permissions using weekly schedules and exception times for holidays or events.
    • Real-Time Alarming: Monitor and alert on critical events such as barriers being forced open or held open too long.
    • Event Notifications: Receive instant alerts for access granted/denied, alarm events, and changes in barrier status (e.g., locked, unlocked, accessed).

 

Subscriptions

Each barrier configured within YourSixOS requires its own base subscription.

Note: The Axis A1610 controller supports up to two barriers. If both barriers are configured and managed within YourSixOS, two separate barrier subscriptions are required.
