Dear customer,
acre is pleased to announce the official market release of the AIC–AAC Integration MP1.0, available from March 6th 2026.
This marks a significant step forward in unifying acre Access Control (AAC) with the acre Intrusion Controller (AIC) portfolio, delivering one cloud‑native platform for managing identities, access permissions, and intrusion security.
The release brings together two historically separate domains—access control and intrusion—into a single source of truth, reducing operational overhead, improving consistency, and enabling faster response across security operations.
For years, organizations have operated access control and intrusion as fragmented systems: separate databases, separate interfaces, separate operator workflows. This fragmentation introduces friction, increases administrative workload, and creates room for inconsistency.
AIC–AAC MP1.0 changes this.
For the first time, AAC and AIC work together through a single, secure, cloud‑native interface, giving organizations:
✔ Centralized Identity & Credential Management
A unified database for users, profiles, PINs, access cards, schedules, and exception days — eliminating duplication and reducing errors.
✔ Faster Onboarding & Streamlined Operations
Shared calendars, automated synchronization logic, and unified permission handling measurably reduce setup time and daily administrative effort.
✔ Real‑Time Situational Awareness
From AAC’s intuitive web interface, operators can:
• Arm/disarm intrusion
• Control zones and doors
• Manage outputs
• View alarms and system status in real time
—all without switching systems or platforms.
✔ A Future‑Proof, Cloud‑Native Foundation
Powered by acre’s secure FlexC communication protocol and a modern widget‑based UI, MP1.0 supports remote operation, multi‑site environments, and enterprise‑scale deployments.
MP1.0 provides a comprehensive foundation for unified access and intrusion management:
One centralized identity database powering both access and intrusion Unified management of PINs, access cards, profiles, and calendars Real‑time control of intrusion and access operations Multi‑site visibility and centralized cloud administration Support for AIC 1200, SPCevo, and SPCgen1 hardware (with defined firmware requirements) Scalable architecture supporting up to:
-2,500 intrusion users -250 AIC controllers per instance
The benefits are immediate and measurable:
Lower operational complexity
No more maintaining separate systems, interfaces, or data sets.
Stronger security consistency
Unified profiles and policies ensure alignment across the entire environment.
Reduced training effort
One web‑based operator interface simplifies onboarding and daily operations.
Designed for multi‑site scale
Cloud‑native architecture supports distributed operations, remote staff, and centralized oversight.
This is One Acre in action—unified by design, modular by choice, cloud on your terms.
Four important capabilities are already in development and scheduled for release in Q2/2026:
Microsoft Entra ID Integration
Automated user provisioning from HR and IT systems into AAC for seamless identity lifecycle management.
CSV Data Import Tool
One‑time migration support from third‑party systems, ensuring smooth customer onboarding.
Enhanced Credential Governance
Secure credential sharing with role‑based visibility and stronger lifecycle controls.
Web‑Based Operator Permission Management
Full operator role configuration directly in the AAC web interface — no Windows client required.
These enhancements continue to advance acre’s vision of a fully unified, identity‑centric security platform.
