Paxton hardware selection
Controllers, enclosures, power and connectors
The controller choice determines how the opening is powered, networked, monitored and recovered. Select the enclosure and connector family only after lock current, standby time and field conditions are known.

Official Paxton product resources
Use Paxton-owned pages for current models, release notes, manuals, technical data and software access. Product availability and specifications can change.
Engineer the controller schedule
Send the opening list and existing hardware information. We can prepare a controller, power, I/O and network schedule tied to field conditions.
Official Paxton software, firmware and support
Use these manufacturer-owned portals for current downloads, release notes, manuals, advisories and technical resources. 360 Technology Group links to official sources and does not copy or host firmware files.
Update carefully: confirm the exact model, region, hardware revision, installed version, prerequisites, required intermediate releases, support entitlement, integrations, backup, maintenance window, rollback limitations and post-update tests. The wrong package or sequence can interrupt service or prevent a downgrade.
Some portals require a customer, dealer, certified-technician or active-support login. Cloud-managed products may update automatically and may not offer a public firmware file.
