Paxton

You can by adopting SIP or using Entry App instead of Paxton Monitors.

Hi good update thanks. IPv6 is simple for installers and other users who may not be as network savvy. You can install Entry in a siloed sense or on a wider network. How these two differ and why is knowledge and competency dependant...please keep us in the loop as you try things we are happy to jump on a call.

Hi - when you say plug and play in enterprise setups can you explain please? Also, please explain live video viewing issue. The Paxton monitors are fixed at IPV6 for simplicity and plug and play reasons. If you want to go IPV4 we'd suggest SIP or Entry App. If you would like a list of ports for your network to ensure the Entry solution can communicate as required - here they are with other helpful docs. As a general tip ensure you are running the latest config version, currently this is http://www.paxton.info/1907 Note: there is a upgrade path to follow should you be on an earlier version. Please call us on 01273 811011 to discuss.

I’m curious are you saying that your Paxton software is buggy? I’d like to help you with that and understand more about your IPv4 issues.

Hi - yes Entry is capable of WAN connection. This is made possible using the Entry App or SIP integration. Happy to discuss if you want more information.

What would you like to see from Paxton in terms of the system moving forward?

There are two token numbers on a Mifare credential; encrypted sectors and unique ID serial. In the main 99% of access control uses the serial number. This is the number which can of course be copied. It is also possible to crack Mifare encryptions to access the sector information. Depending on the site, needs, risks etc it is up to the system owner which approach to take with credentials. My experience of 25 yrs shows that the serial number approach is flexible enough to cater to most needs. Combatting any mischief such as cloning is also simple and straightforward. I can explain on a quick Teams should you wish to understand more.

Thanks for the feedback. There are plenty of third party ID card management systems that API into Net2 also.

Thanks for the feedback. If there's something you need from me please get in touch.

Yes, API integration is possible with excellent solutions. We could have a Teams call to discuss?

If you would like a visit to let you know how Paxton can solve your problems, please do let me know. Always nice to meet new people.

This is a fair point which often raised. The decision to move to Paxton10 from Net2 is based on needs and requirements. And yes, the Paxton10 hardware is very much different as is the software hence why they don't mix. However, thank you for the feedback rest assured this gets fed back to the product teams.

Appreciate your feedback. We can't please everyone When did you see Paxton10 last? In experience, picking the tool for the job is always best. We don't sell you anything you don't need or isn't going to solve your problems. To end, Paxton10 today is selling well and proving it's worth to a great many schools and many other sectors. https://www.paxton-access.com/install-paxton/resources/case-studies/

Yeah, I definitely feel it's worth a Teams call. To be clear Paxton sells only to Trade. However, training is delivered to schools directly. We always want to work with your contractors because this ensures you get the best levels of service and support. However, site meetings, health checks, user academies and more, are delivered direct with or with a contractor present. Many contractors embrace a knowledgeable client team as it helps them cut out unnecessary fault call outs and out of contract charges.

I understand your points and again thank you for the opinion. If card cloning is an issue or a risk then there are solutions we can deploy in current systems to combat this. All are effective. However, it takes but a second to waltz through an open door.
