AXIS AXIS Access Control & Physical Security 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller designed to manage?
- Video surveillance recording
- Door access control and credential verification (Correct answer)
- Network switching
- Wi-Fi access points
Correct answer: Door access control and credential verification
The AXIS A1001 is a network door controller that manages door access, verifies credentials, and controls electronic locks in an IP-based access control system.
Question 2: Which contactless credential type is supported by AXIS access control systems for door entry?
- Only PIN codes
- RFID cards and fobs (Correct answer)
- Physical keys only
- Fingerprint only
Correct answer: RFID cards and fobs
AXIS access control systems support RFID credentials including various card formats (HID, MIFARE) and key fobs for contactless door entry.
Question 3: What does 'anti-passback' prevent in an AXIS access control system?
- Unauthorized firmware updates
- A credential being used to re-enter a zone without first exiting (Correct answer)
- Network access from outside the building
- Disabling card readers during off-hours
Correct answer: A credential being used to re-enter a zone without first exiting
Anti-passback requires a valid exit event before the same credential can be used to gain entry again, preventing tailgating abuse.
Question 4: What communication method does AXIS VAPIX API use for access control integration between door controllers and management software?
- Serial RS-232 only
- RESTful HTTP/HTTPS API calls (Correct answer)
- Proprietary radio frequency
- Bluetooth only
Correct answer: RESTful HTTP/HTTPS API calls
AXIS VAPIX API uses RESTful HTTP/HTTPS communication, allowing management software to configure and interact with AXIS door controllers over IP networks.
Question 5: What is the function of a 'request to exit' (REX) sensor in an AXIS access control installation?
- Request a firmware update
- Detect motion to release a door for egress without a credential (Correct answer)
- Alert the VMS to record video
- Trigger an intrusion alarm
Correct answer: Detect motion to release a door for egress without a credential
A REX sensor detects motion or manual activation from the secure side of a door, signaling the controller to unlock for safe egress without requiring a credential.
Question 6: Which AXIS software platform provides unified management of both video surveillance and access control from a single interface?
- AXIS Camera Station
- AXIS Companion
- AXIS Camera Station with Access Control module (Correct answer)
- AXIS Device Manager only
Correct answer: AXIS Camera Station with Access Control module
AXIS Camera Station with its Access Control module provides unified management allowing operators to correlate video footage with door access events.
