LenelS2 and AxxonSoft

Quick Overview and Key Benefits of AxxonSoft + LenelS2 Integration

What Makes the Partnership Valuable

The integration module supports monitoring, control, and configuration functions across access control and fire/intrusion subsystems managed by OnGuard 7.6. Axxon PSIM receives events and object state changes from OnGuard through the integration module connection. This tight coupling supports structured response workflows, audit trail logging, and operator-guided actions without switching consoles. Organizations gain a consolidated security operations platform across legacy and modern installations.

Key Advantages

• Real-time event ingestion — delivers access control and fire/intrusion alerts into Axxon PSIM dashboards for immediate operator awareness.
• Centralized alarm correlation — ties OnGuard events to video and PSIM context, speeding visual verification and decision support.
• Two-way control — enables operators to execute commands such as door unlock/lock, arm/disarm zones, and acknowledge alarms from Axxon PSIM UI.
• User and configuration sync — reflects supported OnGuard objects and related data within the Axxon PSIM environment.
• Structured workflow support — embeds cause-and-effect logic between subsystems (e.g., access denial triggers camera popup).
• Central audit logging — captures OnGuard events and operator actions for compliance and post-event analysis.
• Scalable enterprise fit — supports installations ranging from single facilities to multi-site operations with centralized oversight.
• Reduced operational friction — combines event streams and command paths in one PSIM environment versus disparate consoles.

What is Access Control, Fire Alarm & Intrusion Integration

The OnGuard integration module provides a soft-soft connection between Axxon PSIM and the OnGuard 7.6 system. PSIM subscribes to events and state changes via the OnGuard service, reflects OnGuard system topology (readers, zones, panels) within the PSIM domain, and enables operator control over those elements from the PSIM UI. Configuration of the OnGuard integration module establishes connection parameters, authentication credentials, and event subscriptions.

• Receive supported access control events (e.g., valid/invalid reads, alarms) and fire/intrusion alarms from OnGuard.
• Visualize event timelines, alarm banners, and associated video in the PSIM operator interface.
• Correlate events with video streams, maps, and PSIM workflows for situational context.
• Trigger automated workflows (e.g., camera popup, operator alert) based on predefined event logic.
• Automate response steps (acknowledge, escalate, lock/unlock actions) from Axxon PSIM.
• Control reader hardware and zone states directly from PSIM console (where supported).
• Log all events and operator actions into PSIM’s event archive for audit and investigation.

Supported Capabilities

Access Control Workflows

Axxon PSIM extends OnGuard’s access control system into a centralized PSIM operational context.

Common capabilities include:

• Reader state monitoring (grant/deny, tamper, offline).
• Door control (unlock/lock via PSIM) where supported by OnGuard credentials.
• Access event correlation with video and map overlays.
• Configurable alarm conditions based on access patterns.
• Centralized acknowledgment and escalation workflows.

Fire/Intrusion Alarm Monitoring

Integration handles fire alarm, intrusion, and safety events sourced from OnGuard panels.

Common capabilities include:

• Receipt of fire alarm and intrusion events into PSIM.
• Auto-popups of cameras or layouts on critical alarms.
• Alarm state categorization and operator acknowledgment.
• Correlation of fire/intrusion triggers with site video.
• Logging and timeline reviews of alarm sequences.

Multi-Site Administration

Supports enterprise deployments with centralized monitoring across distributed OnGuard installations.

Common capabilities include:

• Centralized monitoring of integrated OnGuard systems within Axxon PSIM deployments.
• Unified operator roles and permissions within PSIM.
• Central dashboards with cross-site alarm context.
• Consistent cause-and-effect workflows across locations.

Deployment Fit

The OnGuard + Axxon PSIM integration serves organizations with established LenelS2 access control that require centralized situational awareness and control. It is suitable for both single-site missions and enterprise multi-site security operations.

• Designed for integration within Axxon PSIM environments managing OnGuard systems.
• Enhances operator efficiency with consolidated controls.
• Simplifies deployment using existing OnGuard infrastructure.
• Standardizes response logic across sites.
• Integrates access and alarm events into PSIM workflows.
