  • Inovonics Integration — The Inovonics integration allows DNA Fusion users to easily view/monitor wireless input points, just like hardwired inputs, via the tree.
  • Bosch Integration — The Bosch receiver integration features an alarm panel that can monitor multiple sites and zones via Bosch’s remote programming software.
    • AXIS A1001 —special preview of beta testing of the AXIS A1001. PoE enabled, the A1001 Network Door Controller uses an intuitive, color-coded configuration wizard for easy install and is future flexible to accommodate DNA Fusion updates, upgrades, and system expansion.
