1 Security Center requires an entry sensor to accurately detect entry into an area. In the absence of the entry sensor, Security Center uses the door sensor, and the Entry detected event is generated when the door sensor is triggered. In the absence of both sensors, Security Center generates the Entry assumed event when access is granted.

2 The Synergis™ unit must be connected to the Access Manager.

3 Supported features are limited to the secured area managed by the Axis Powered by Genetec controller.

4 Requires Security Center 5.12.0 or later, and Synergis Softwire 11.5.0 or later.

5 Prior to Security Center 5.12.0 and Synergis Softwire 11.5.0, zone management is limited to zones managed by the same Axis Powered by Genetec controller.
