Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Paxton Net2 and Paxton10?
Net2 is Paxton's established PC-based access control platform, ideal for most business sizes. Paxton10 is their newer cloud-based system offering greater flexibility and mobile management. We will recommend the best solution based on your requirements.
Can access control integrate with my CCTV system?
Yes. We regularly integrate access control and CCTV systems so you can see who triggered a door event alongside the camera footage — ideal for investigations and audit trails.
How many doors can an access control system manage?
From a single door to hundreds of access points across multiple sites. Paxton systems are highly scalable and can be expanded as your business grows.
Can staff use their smartphone instead of a fob?
Yes. Paxton10 supports mobile credentials, allowing staff to use their smartphone to open doors — no fob required. This is increasingly popular for modern workplaces.
