Are there ongoing licence fees for Paxton Net2 or Paxton10?

No! Unlike cloud-based competitors, AOI Digital's Paxton Net2 and Paxton10 systems store 100% of data locally on your dedicated server or the Paxton10 hardware appliance. Once installed, you benefit from secure, local access control with zero ongoing monthly software subscription costs for user management.

Does Paxton integrate with my fire alarm for emergency door releases?

Yes, absolutely. Every Paxton system AOI Digital deploys includes fail-safe interfacing with your building's fire alarm system in strict compliance with BS 7273-4 standards. On alarm activation, doors equipped with electronic locks automatically release to ensure immediate, unobstructed egress for occupants.

Can I manage Paxton access and see video on my smartphone?

Yes. Both Net2 and Paxton10 offer secure mobile app integration (iOS and Android). With Net2, you can manage users and open doors. With Paxton10, you get the added advantage of viewing live and recorded video linked to access events on the same mobile app interface.

Can Paxton connect to non-Paxton hardware (e.g., existing lock)?

Yes. Paxton Net2 control units (specifically Net2 plus) feature relay outputs and inputs designed to interface with industry-standard fail-safe and fail-secure electronic locks, existing gate motors, or third-party credential readers, protecting your existing hardware investment while modernising the system management.

What warranty comes with Paxton Access Control installations?

All complete Paxton security systems supplied and installed by AOI Digital benefit from a full 3-year warranty covering both equipment and installation workmanship as standard.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAXTON NET2 AND PAXTON10?

Paxton Net2 is a highly reliable, mature networked system that runs on a local Windows PC or server, making it perfect for single-site administration up to 1,000 doors. Paxton10 is a modern, cloud-native platform that combines access control and HD video management. It allows you to manage up to 100 multi-site locations securely from any web browser or mobile app without a local server.

HOW DO YOU ENSURE DOORS COMPLY WITH UK FIRE SAFETY LAWS?

We rigidly adhere to BS 7273-4:2015 regulations. We integrate Paxton systems into your building's primary fire alarm panel using dedicated Paxton Alarm Connectors. Any electronic lock on an emergency escape route is installed as "fail-safe" (such as a magnetic lock), meaning it instantly drops power and unlocks the moment the fire alarm sounds or the building loses electricity.

ARE THERE ONGOING SOFTWARE LICENCE FEES FOR PAXTON SYSTEMS?

No. One of the primary advantages of choosing Paxton over competing enterprise brands is the lack of ongoing "per-seat" or "per-user" software licence fees. The Net2 Lite software and the Paxton10 web interface are provided completely free of recurring charges, greatly reducing your long-term total cost of ownership.

CAN I RETROFIT ACCESS CONTROL WITHOUT RUNNING CABLES TO DOORS?

Yes, absolutely. For historic Glasgow buildings, glass partitions, or multi-tenant offices where running traditional Cat6a cabling is impossible, we install the PaxLock Pro suite. These are highly secure, battery-powered electronic door handles that replace your existing hardware and communicate wirelessly with the central Paxton network.

HOW ARE STAFF CARDS AND FOBS MANAGED?

Adding or barring a user is instant. Using the Net2 PC software or Paxton10 browser interface, administrators can issue encrypted proximity fobs, assign access levels (e.g., "Warehouse Staff Only", "Monday-Friday 9am-5pm"), or immediately bar a lost fob to secure the building without replacing physical locks.

DO YOU COVER ALL OF GLASGOW AND CENTRAL SCOTLAND?

Yes. We supply, install, and maintain commercial access control systems across Glasgow City Centre, Bearsden, Milngavie, Newton Mearns, Giffnock, East Kilbride, Bothwell, Hamilton, and Paisley. We serve offices, warehouses, educational facilities, and retail stores.
