AIC–AAC Integration: Bringing Access Control and Intrusion Together on One Cloud-Native Platform

One Platform. One Interface. One Acre.

For years, security leaders have managed access control and intrusion as parallel systems.
Separate databases. Separate interfaces. Separate processes.

That fragmentation creates friction. It slows onboarding. It increases administrative overhead. It leaves room for inconsistency.

With the release of AIC–AAC integration, Acre brings access control and intrusion together on one secure, cloud-native platform. This marks a meaningful step forward in delivering on the One Acre vision.

This is more than a feature update.
It is unified security, operationalized.

From Fragmented Systems to a Single Source of Clarity

For the first time, Acre Access Control and the Acre Intrusion Controller portfolio operate together through a single interface.

That means:

• One centralized database for users, profiles, PINs, access cards, schedules, and exception days
• One environment to manage both access permissions and intrusion security
• One consistent operator experience across systems

User management is fully centralized. This supports unified handling of PINs, access cards, and intrusion and access profiles.

The result is clarity.
Fewer duplicated records.
Fewer manual reconciliations.
Fewer points of failure.

Security leaders gain a reliable, unified source of truth.

Faster Onboarding. Smoother Operations.

Security may be measured by resilience.
But it is experienced through daily operations.

This integration introduces shared calendars between the Smart Controller and AIC. This enables consistent schedule management across access and intrusion, including support for exception days and multi-day logic.

Automated synchronization logic and unified permission handling reduce setup time and ongoing administrative effort.

This is where unification moves from strategy to measurable impact:

• Faster user onboarding
• Simplified system-wide changes
• Reduced day-to-day management burden

Security teams spend less time reconciling systems and more time managing risk.

Real-Time Visibility Across Access and Intrusion

The AIC-AAC integration allows operators to manage intrusion and access functions directly from AAC’s intuitive web interface.

From a single dashboard, teams can:

• Arm and disarm
• Control zones and doors
• Manage outputs
• View alarms and system status in real time

No separate Windows client is required. Operator management is fully web-based.

Multi-site visibility is built into the interface. This enables centralized administration across distributed environments.

This is situational awareness without system switching.
Response without delay.

Built for Enterprise Scale

The integration is powered by Acre’s secure, IP-based FlexC communication protocol and a modern, widget-based user interface.

The integration supports:

• Up to 2,500 intrusion users, controller dependent
• Up to 250 AIC controllers per instance
• AIC 1200, SPCevo, and SPCgen1 series hardware with defined firmware requirements

The architecture is cloud-native and designed for scalable growth and remote operations at enterprise level.

This is not a temporary bridge between systems. It is a unified foundation built for modern, distributed organizations.

Full PIN Lifecycle and Duress Management

PIN lifecycle management is now fully integrated across Access Control and Intrusion, managed directly from AAC.  

Security teams can:

• Assign, modify, and synchronize user PINs
• Configure duress PINs for silent alarm activation
• Enforce consistent PIN-length rules across systems

That consistency strengthens policy alignment and reduces operational discrepancies between access and intrusion environments.

What It Means for Your Organization

The impact is practical and immediate:

Lower operational complexity: No more maintaining separate systems, databases, or operator tools.

Stronger security consistency: Policies and profiles remain aligned across the environment.

Reduced training effort: One unified interface simplifies onboarding and daily operations.

Scalable multi-site management: Cloud-native architecture supports distributed teams, remote operations, and centralized administration.

This is One Acre in action.
Unified by design.
Modular by choice.
Cloud on your terms.

What’s Next

Four enhancements are already on the roadmap:

• Microsoft Entra ID integration, enabling automated user provisioning from HR and IT systems into AAC ‍
• CSV data import for one-time migration, supporting smooth transitions from third-party systems
• Enhanced credential governance, enabling secure credential sharing while maintaining strict role-based visibility controls ‍
• Web-based operator permission management, enabling site administrators to configure and manage operator roles directly within the web-based AAC interface

The direction is clear. Identity, access, and intrusion working together seamlessly.

The Future Is Within Reach

Acre exists to move security forward, to help customers transition from fragmented systems to connected, intelligent ecosystems.

AIC–AAC Integration version MP1.0 is a tangible step toward that future. It replaces duplication with clarity. Complexity with cohesion. Fragmentation with integration.

Unified security is no longer an ambition.
It is here. And it is ready when you are.
