Axis 02773-001 2N AU2.0 RFID Reader

Axis Communications 02773-001 Overview

The Axis Communications 02773-001 is a 2N AU2.0 networked RFID reader engineered for IP-based access control and identity verification in physical security deployments. This reader integrates multiple radio frequency technologies—125kHz, 13.56MHz, and NFC—into a single networked device, enabling flexibility across legacy and modern card systems. The PICard secured architecture protects credential data in transit and at rest, making it suitable for medium to high-security installations where access credential integrity is critical.

Axis Communications 02773-001 Key Features

• Multi-Frequency RFID Support: Operates across 125kHz (legacy proximity cards), 13.56MHz (modern MIFARE and iClass systems), and NFC standards, eliminating the need for separate reader hardware across different credential types
• PICard Secured Technology: Implements encryption and authentication protocols to prevent credential cloning and unauthorized access attempts, critical for facilities managing high-value assets or restricted areas
• Network-Based Architecture: IP-connected reader integrates directly with Axis security infrastructure and third-party VMS/access control platforms via standard network protocols, simplifying credential verification workflows
• 2N AU2.0 Form Factor: Compact reader design suitable for wall, pedestal, or integration mounting in indoor access control points, reception areas, and entry checkpoints
• Credential Compatibility: Supports industry-standard proximity cards, smart cards, and mobile NFC credentials, enabling organizations to transition gradually between credential technologies without hardware replacement
• Integration-Ready: Compatible with Axis access control ecosystem and ONVIF-compliant VMS platforms, allowing unified event logging and access decision integration with video surveillance

Axis Communications 02773-001 Integration & Compatibility

The 02773-001 reader connects to networked access control and video management systems via Ethernet, supporting ONVIF standards for device discovery and integration. It works within the broader Axis Communications security portfolio and integrates with third-party access control platforms that support ONVIF-compliant credential readers. Event data—successful reads, failed authentication attempts, and credential details—can be logged and correlated with video surveillance for comprehensive audit trails and security incident investigation.
