The nerve centre of our access control solution is 2N Access Commander. Use it for managing access to the building and monitoring the status of 2N access devices in real time.

It also allows importing users from 2N IP intercom or 2N Access Unit, including their access methods (bluetooth and finger print as well), so you can keep already listed users from the current system.

  import is supported by a virtual machine (VirtualBox, VMWare, Hyper-V) and also by a Box (miniPC) distribution.
