Axis Communications announces two multi-door network controllers offering complete control

Axis Communications has announced two multi-door network controllers offering complete control for up to eight doors. With onboard lock power, these all-in-one door controllers simplify installations and minimise complexity.

AXIS A1710-B offers full control for up to four doors including support for eight OSDP readers and eight locks, whereas AXIS A1810-B can control for up to eight doors and includes support for 16 OSDP readers and 16 locks. These compact barebone devices offer a smaller footprint design than most door controllers on the market. They’re designed for centralised installation with Axis and third-party cabinets, for instance, in security rooms. Thanks to built-in lock power management, they simplify complex installations. Additionally, the connectors are color-coded for easy cable management.

With out-of-the-box support for OSDP readers and an optional accessory for Wiegand readers, these scalable and future-proof door controllers are optimised for both small and large installations. It’s possible to store up to 250k credentials and 250k event logs on each device. Furthermore, they can be used together with AXIS Camera Station Secure Entry or partner solutions to provide a scalable, all-in-one video and access control management system. 

Key features include:  

• Centralised control simplifies installation 
• Full control for up to 8 doors  
• Onboard support for up to 16 OSDP readers and 16 locks 
• OSDP Verified for secure reader communication 
• Built-in cybersecurity features 

Axis Edge Vault, a hardware-based cybersecurity platform, safeguards the device and protects sensitive information from unauthorised access. It also ensures cryptographic keys are safely and securely stored in the onboard EAL6+ Certified compute module. These products are Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) Verified to ensure secure bidirectional communication. Additionally, they offer flexible and secure authentication using different types of credentials and multi-factor authentication ensures enhanced security.
