Quick Overview and Key Benefits of Suprema Biometric and Access Control

Integration at a Glance

The Suprema integration module allows for interoperability between Suprema biometric access control systems and the Axxon One VMS / Axxon PSIM platforms, enabling creation of AxxonSoft-powered security systems that consolidate diverse hardware in a single software interface.

With a single security platform, administrators can manage entire groups of facilities, designate access schedules, quickly block access to certain areas, monitor events in real time, and more. AxxonSoft supports creating fingerprint templates, assigning these templates to users and deploying them to devices, assigning access levels, access cards, and schedules to users, as well as deploying these to devices.

Key Advantages

Unified security platform — no need to run separate access-control and video-surveillance systems — everything works under AxxonSoft.
Flexibility & scalability — supports various authentication modes (fingerprint, face recognition, card-based access, or mixed modes) — suitable for small offices, industrial installations, corporate campuses.
Centralized management — one interface, one database of users/permissions across all sites and devices; simplified maintenance and administration.
Real-time situational awareness — access events trigger video and alarms, enabling immediate security staff response or automated workflows.
Enterprise-grade hardware support — Suprema hardware generally offers enterprise-grade biometric access control and supports large user bases.

How It Works — Suprema Access Control Integration

The Suprema Integration Module supports events and alarms from Suprema access control systems, such as Access Granted, Access Denied, Door Forced Open, Access Violations, etc. Any of the above events can trigger a wide range of reactions within the video surveillance system powered by Axxon One VMS / Axxon PSIM, such as camera recording, video pop-ups, PTZ presets, interactive map highlights, macro automation, or operator alerts.

Supported capabilities:

Unified access control + video surveillance — no need for separate systems.
Real-time event and alarm monitoring (access granted/denied, door forced open, access violations).
Centralized management of access events, monitoring, and control across multiple sites and devices.
Support for biometric (fingerprint, face), card, and multi-factor authentication.
Flexible reaction/automation: e.g. trigger PTZ tours, start camera recording, display video, log events on access events.

Devices and Access Control Capabilities Integrated with Axxon One VMS

Axxon One integrates with Suprema biometric access control systems via the BioStar 2 integration module, enabling unified management of access control, automation logic, and situational awareness within a single Axxon One interface.

The integration allows operators and administrators to work with Suprema devices and events directly in Axxon One, using built-in tools such as interactive maps, equipment boards, macros, and programmable logic.

Within Axxon One, the BioStar 2 integration module allows operators to manage and monitor the following objects:

Access control devices (readers, controllers)
Doors (states, locking/unlocking, alarms)
Access events (access granted, access denied, door forced open, door held open)
Users and credentials (via synchronization with BioStar 2)
Access zones and logical groupings

All access control events are logged and displayed in Axxon One in real time, forming part of the unified event stream.

How-To Installation Guide

Typical workflows

Create fingerprint (or biometric) templates → assign templates & access cards to users → deploy credentials to devices. AxxonSoft picks up events from Suprema devices and manages access logic centrally.
Real-time monitoring and control: Access granted/denied events, door forced open, access violations — all reported in AxxonSoft interface; allow security operators to react and trigger automated responses (video pop-up, PTZ camera tours, start recording, etc.).
Centralized multi-site/multi-facility management: Users, schedules, permissions, and templates managed globally from one platform rather than on a per-device or per-site basis.
Hybrid authentication: support for fingerprint, face recognition, RFID/smartcard, or combinations — giving flexibility depending on security level and user base.

What integration enables that standalone cannot

Synchronized access control + video surveillance + alarm/event management in one unified system.
Automated reactions: e.g. on access violation, automatically show video, lock/unlock doors, alert operators.
Simplified administration and scalability — especially for large or distributed sites.
