Overview

One of the main advantages of ACTi's Access Control Standard Server is the flexibility regarding system integration. Most access control servers in the market are very rigid and usually do not do project-based integrations with the other systems.

This is one of the reason why customers are looking to replace their existing software with ACTi's access control solution.

  • Project-based server-to-server integration

Architecture 1

ACTi does project-based integration with third party access control devices. This is used when the customer wants to keep the existing devices and migrate to ACTi management software.

Architecture 2

When the customer's own special purpose software needs to get access control data from ACTi's Access Control Standard Server, the integration will be done with the help of one of the ACTi API documents. There may be various types of third party software that could benefit from the integration, such as Human Resources server, PSIM server, various types of SCADA systems via Modbus protocol and others.

The API document is provided free of charge. It is also possible to purchase technical support service to fully assist with the integration process.
