AC Nio™ is the software at the heart of the AC Series access control system. AC Nio is intuitive, powerful, and scalable to match the needs of any application. Manage one site or several from the same interface and let site managers control their own systems without accessing other areas or tenants. User information can also be imported from external sources, saving time and hassle.

It provides security and flexibility for managers and users alike. Administrators can configure Access Privilege Groups to easily manage large number of users with the same access needs, or to configure more granular permissions for individuals. Advanced scheduling options, including temporary and holiday schedules, make it simple to grant and restrict access as needed. Users and managers can utilize the AC Key mobile app, allowing them to send visitors temporary credentials by text or email, providing flexible and secure access on the fly. AC Nio™ also lets managers track site access with real time activity reports, including user and muster reports, and empower designated users to initiate emergency lockdowns.

AC Nio can either run on a PC or server, including the option to use an AC-HOST, an embedded Linux system with AC Nio pre-installed. There are multiple licensing options available depending on the size of the system. See the Features section below for more details on licensing terms and supported functions.
