Common questions
Frequently asked.
Yes. Paxton Net2 integrates natively with Hikvision CCTV (the platform we install), so every door event can be tagged against the camera feed for later review. For HID or Videx deployments we configure the same correlation through the VMS. It turns access control from a list of swipes into a useful security tool.
