Axis 02778-001 2N IP VERSO RFID Reader

Axis Communications 02778-001 2N IP VERSO RFID Reader Overview

The Axis Communications 02778-001 2N IP VERSO READER is a network-based credential and proximity reader designed for IP-native access control and identity verification deployments. This multi-protocol reader integrates seamlessly into IP security infrastructure, enabling organizations to standardize on networked access points rather than serial or Wiegand-based legacy readers. The 02778-001 supports multiple wireless and RF technologies in a single device, reducing hardware proliferation and simplifying integration across mixed credential environments.

Axis Communications 02778-001 Key Features

• Multi-Protocol RF Support: Reads 125kHz proximity cards (traditional access control), 13.56MHz smart cards and tokens, NFC-enabled mobile credentials, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless devices—accommodating legacy card stocks while enabling modern smartphone-based authentication.
• IP Networked Architecture: Operates as a native IP device, eliminating the need for serial or Wiegand converters and enabling direct integration with AXIS Camera Station, Milestone, and standards-based access control platforms via ONVIF or REST API endpoints.
• NFC and Mobile Credential Ready: Supports contactless NFC reading for smartphone-based access credentials, positioning the reader for future-ready deployments that accept both physical and digital identity tokens.
• BLE Wireless Protocol Support: Accepts Bluetooth Low Energy transmissions, enabling wireless credential presentation from compatible devices and reducing physical contact points in post-pandemic access scenarios.
• PoE Powered: Draws power via standard PoE (802.3af/at), requiring only a single Ethernet cable for both power and data—simplifying installation in new builds and retrofits without dedicated electrical runs.
• Compact Form Factor: Designed for wall, pedestal, or door-frame mounting in indoor and covered outdoor environments, providing flexible placement in lobbies, server rooms, secure areas, and visitor management checkpoints.

Axis Communications 02778-001 Integration and Compatibility

The 02778-001 operates as an IP endpoint, supporting ONVIF profiles and REST API integration for compatibility with major enterprise VMS and access control platforms including AXIS Camera Station, Milestone Xprotect, and third-party systems. As an Axis-branded device, it integrates natively with Axis IP video systems, enabling converged physical security deployments that combine video surveillance, door control, and credential verification on a unified network. Integrators can query reader status, validate credential reads, trigger events, and log authentication attempts through standard network protocols without proprietary gateways or serial adapters.
