Greenville, SC - September 1st, 2015 – Paxton, the market leader of electronic IP access control and door entry equipment, is introducing the next generation of Net2 Entry, their leading door entry system, for installers and integrators. On September 1st, Paxton launches two brand new panels and releases an update to the Net2 Entry software to offer enhanced door entry functionality for versatile security and building management. The new Net2 Entry panels will replace Paxton’s current offering. The latest versions feature MIFARE® technology, a new intuitive panel interface and digital pan/tilt camera functionality for the ultimate security solution. Paxton’s innovative design combines audio, video, access control, and power all via one cat5 cable.
Diversifying from access control, Paxton released Net2 Entry, their first door entry system, in 2012 to great industry acclaim. Pitched as the simplest door entry system available, it consists of just three components that auto-detect on set up; an external panel, interior monitor and door controller, for a true plug and play solution. The products’ simplicity and ease of use has proved popular with security installers who have voted Net2 Entry to win the PSi Premier Award for Access Control every year since 2013.
The new Net2 Entry panels will be available in two variations, standard and vandal resistant. The slimline standard panel has a high contrast back-lit keypad, while the robust vandal resistant panel is made from corrosion resistant 316L marine grade stainless steel, with an impact resistance rating of IK10, to withstand even the harshest environment. Both variations are available in flush-mount, surface-mount, and surface mount with rain-hood versions, making them suitable for a range of environments.
The updated system also includes a versatile grouping feature which enables smarter management and the separation of multiple Net2 Entry systems into multiple groups, allowing the control of selected monitors from selected panels. This is useful in applications such as gated communities, multi-tenant buildings, and office buildings. Improved SIP compatibility allows more sites to enjoy the flexibility of answering their door via their intuitive touchscreen monitor, office phone, smart phone, computer, or tablet.
The advanced features of the Net2 Entry system include:
- Just 3 components, simply plug together
- Units auto detect for easy plug and play installation
- Easily scalable - system expands using industry standard Ethernet switches
- Comes with Net2 access control built-in
- Multi-format proximity reader – reads Paxton and MIFARE® token technology (HID coming soon via software update)
- SIP compatible – the door can be answered from intuitive touchscreen monitor, office phone, smart phone, computer, or tablet
- DTMF 2833 compliant for release of a door from a touch tone phone when using SIP
- Grouping feature enables smarter management of multi-tenant buildings

By working closely with our Net2 installers to truly understand market requirements and implementing features that are undeniably useful for end users, we believe that this new range of panels takes the Net2 Entry system to the next level.”
