Network security best practices
PoE access control readers, such as the Video Reader Pro and Video Intercom Reader Pro, require a wired
network connection installed on the unsecured side of a door.
Important: To remove the risk of an attacker gaining access to the local network via the network
connection, assuming they can remove the reader from the wall, Avigilon Alta recommends that your IT
team place the exposed Ethernet port on a demilitarized zone (DMZ) or perimeter network.
