Paxton system comparison
Paxton10 or Net2?
The right answer depends on whether the project is a new integrated access-and-video system, an expansion of an existing Net2 estate, or a migration with retained doors, credentials and integrations.
Side-by-side planning comparison
| Decision area | Paxton10 | Net2 |
|---|---|---|
| Primary role | Integrated access control and Paxton video management. | Networked access control with a mature installed base and integration ecosystem. |
| Administration | Browser-based software with remote and multi-site functions. | Windows-based Net2 Lite or Net2 Pro administration from one or more PCs. |
| Published scale | Up to 1,000 doors and 1,000 cameras; as many as 100 sites on one server. | Design by current Net2 server, controller, database and network guidance; confirm exact supported scale. |
| Video strategy | Paxton10 CORE/PRO cameras and supported third-party camera path. | Typically integrated with supported third-party video platforms rather than Paxton10 native video. |
| Mobile credentials | Paxton Key Bluetooth credentials are part of the platform strategy. | Credential and app options depend on current Net2 hardware, software and supported services. |
| Existing-site reuse | Confirm supported reuse; do not assume Net2 hardware migrates directly. | Often the lower-risk starting point for a healthy, supported Net2 estate. |
| Best fit | New or refreshed systems seeking unified access, video, Entry, PaxLock and automation. | Existing Net2 expansions or access-focused sites with proven Net2 integrations. |
Do not decide from the software screen alone
Survey the openings
Door hardware, egress, fire release, lock power and field condition can outweigh software preference.
Inventory retained assets
Record controller and reader models, credentials, bridges, software, integrations, backups and support status.
Define video evidence
If video matters, state scene, retention, export and event-association requirements before choosing the platform.
Model the cutover
Plan credential transition, parallel operation, door downtime, rollback and administrator training.
Assign lifecycle ownership
Name who maintains servers, accounts, backups, versions, subscriptions, certificates and recovery procedures.
Test failure behavior
Compare what happens during controller, server, WAN, LAN, power and fire-alarm events.
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.
Build a Net2 versus Paxton10 decision record
We can document retained equipment, required workflows, supported integrations, migration risk and lifecycle cost for a defensible platform choice.
Architecture differences that change the project
| Decision | Paxton10 | Net2 |
|---|---|---|
| Primary operating model | Browser-managed access control and video on a Paxton10 server | Windows-based access-control administration using Net2 software |
| Video strategy | Native Paxton10 video plus supported third-party cameras through video controllers | External CCTV and VMS integrations where supported |
| Remote administration | Web interface and Paxton mobile applications, subject to the configured service and permissions | Net2 Pro remote tools, Net2Online and Paxton Connect where the current compatibility requirements are met |
| Existing estate | Often evaluated for new combined access/video systems and planned Net2 migrations | Often favored when a serviceable Net2 controller and reader estate should remain in use |
| Server dependency | Paxton10 server and its backup/recovery design | Dedicated supported Windows environment, Net2 services and database availability |
A feature listed in both columns may still behave differently. For example, lockdown, wireless locks, mobile credentials, video event review and multi-site control can have platform-specific limits. The comparison should therefore name the exact software release, hardware generation and integration path being proposed.
Migration decisions to record before choosing
- List every retained reader, credential, controller, enclosure, lock, request-to-exit device and fire-alarm interface.
- Confirm whether credential identifiers can be migrated without forcing an unplanned mass reissue.
- Separate openings that can move in one cutover window from doors that need staged temporary control.
- Define how historical events, reports and video evidence will be retained when the old system is retired.
- Test network loss, controller restart, server recovery and emergency-release behavior on representative openings.
The result should be a written decision record showing why Paxton10 or Net2 fits the facility, not simply a quotation with a different controller part number.
Paxton owner, administrator and buyer resources
These owner and buyer guides connect Paxton software and hardware research with surveyed design, installation, commissioning, database protection, maintenance and field support in North and South Carolina.
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.
