Access Control | Solution Overview

YourSixOS provides cloud-based access control for centrally managing doors, gates, identities, credentials, schedules, access rules, and security events across one or multiple locations. By bringing physical access control into the same cloud platform as video surveillance, audio, sensors, and monitoring, organizations can manage entry, verify events, and respond to access-related activity from one unified environment.

YourSixOS works with supported Axis door controllers and compatible OSDP and Wiegand readers, providing flexible credential options, real-time barrier controls, event notifications, and centralized access policies without requiring traditional on-premise access control servers.

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

Access Control

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.
