Combining Paxton Net2 and ANPR: Register Once, Access Everywhere

The problem with two separate systems

Most office buildings with a car park follow the same pattern: there is an access control system for the doors, such as Paxton, HID or Nedap, and a separate system for the car park barrier. Sometimes the barrier system is still manual: a shared code or a stack of transponders.

The result is that a new employee needs to be registered in two places. And when they leave, they need to be removed from two places, and the car park is rarely first. That is how former employees keep car park access for months after leaving.

How the integration works

The Revtek integration with Paxton Net2 and Paxton10 works through a direct connection between the two systems. When an employee is created in Paxton and their plate is added to their profile, Revtek automatically synchronises that plate to the ANPR whitelist for the car park. No double entry, no separate parking platform to maintain.

The same applies to removal: as soon as an employee is deactivated or deleted in Paxton, their plate disappears automatically from parking access. Removing access at the right moment is where most of the gain lies.

What you still configure separately

The integration synchronises plate rights based on Paxton users. What you manage separately are the parking-specific settings: the time windows in which someone has access, capacity limits per time block, and visitor registration for people not in Paxton.

Visitors go through a separate channel: a WhatsApp registration flow or a QR code at the entrance. That logs their presence without them needing to be created in Paxton. More on that visitor process on the office page.

Paxton Net2 or Paxton10: does it matter?

Paxton Net2 is the on-premise system, Paxton10 is the cloud variant. Both can be connected to Revtek, but there are small differences in how real-time the sync is. With Paxton10 the connection is generally faster because the cloud environment is always reachable; with Net2 it depends on the network configuration on site.

As an administrator you notice little difference; synchronisation completes within seconds for both. The choice between Net2 and Paxton10 is made on other grounds: existing infrastructure, preference for on-premise or cloud, and the scale of the building.

What it delivers for the facilities manager

There is no separate parking platform to maintain: Paxton decides who has access to both the building and the car park. At a complex with fifty to a hundred employees that saves, indicatively, a few hours of admin per month.

Added benefit: the parking log is now linked to employee names rather than anonymous plate strings. If HR or security asks when someone was on site, or an incident report needs it, the answer takes a few clicks.
