Access control
Access control systems can be integrated via the Milestone XProtect Access framework.
This framework provides a set of standard components for administration, control and display – allowing the integration partner to focus on integrating the communication between the access control system and Milestone XProtect Access.
Following is an overview of the system architecture and where to integrate your access control system.

The integration provides a number of built-in functions for event handling, map display with state display, as well as automatic rule actions.
