Key Info
Purpose-Built for Access Control
The AXIS A9188-VE is ideal for managing multiple entry points or building zones—especially in elevator and floor control applications where supervised inputs are required.
Reliable Outdoor Design
Encased in the included AXIS T98A15-VE Surveillance Cabinet, this module is resistant to water, dust, and impact, enabling dependable installation in outdoor or exposed environments.
Scalable & Standalone Capable
While optimised for integration with AXIS A1001 or camera systems, the A9188-VE can also operate independently, triggering relays or alarms from external devices like PIR sensors.
Rich Event Management
Store up to 30,000 events with FIFO memory, and configure smart triggers such as schedule-based automation, heartbeat loss, and tamper alerts to notify or activate other systems.
