frequently asked questions
-
No separate PC programming software is required. Installation and commissioning are performed from your smartphone using the Nexus Installer App - no laptop, controller programming or IP addressing is required. A dedicated site Wi-Fi network is not required.
-
Up to 75% faster than a traditional system. Most sites commission in hours rather than days, since there's no controller to rack, no server to configure, and no LAN to run.
-
Hold your phone near the livelink with the Nexus Installer App open. The app discovers the livelink over Bluetooth and guides you through enrolment.
-
No dedicated Wi-Fi network or access point is required. Once enrolled, Livelinks automatically form and expand the Nexus 2.4GHz mesh. The site's existing Wi-Fi can also be used as an optional path back to Nexus Cloud.
-
A simple four-core connection from the Livelink to the Door Interface, carrying power and the encrypted Livelink Bus. The Door Interface handles the lock, door monitoring, REX/RTO and DOTL/GPO functions.
-
The system still works. Access decisions are made locally between the phone and the Livelink using the user's current Permissions, so no live cloud connection is required at the door. If the presented phone has no internet connection, Activity Records can move through the Livelink mesh to another nearby phone or a Livelink with access to the site's Wi-Fi. Records are retained until Nexus Cloud confirms they are stored.
-
Hold your phone near a Livelink or Nexus module to view live I/O status, power levels, signal strength and device health. The live.nexus portal also provides remote diagnostics including device status, firmware information, UPS/battery information and fault history — reducing the need for site visits.
-
The Nexus UPS accepts a 10-48V DC source rated at 45W or higher and provides a regulated 13.8V DC output at up to 3A. The Nexus Enclosure, UPS and Battery Kit (NX-ENK801) includes the Smart UPS and LiFePO4 battery and can support up to two Nexus device modules within the system power budget. An external lock power supply can be used where additional lock power is required.
-
Nexus uses a per-device monthly subscription with no minimum contract or base fee. Eligible Installation Companies receive recurring commission on collected subscription revenue from active devices, while remote-first diagnostics help reduce ongoing support overhead.
-
No defined mesh-node limit. Livelinks can continue to join the mesh provided each is within range of another node. The Nexus platform is designed to scale from a single Livelink to 100,000+ Livelinks across unlimited zones and sites.
-
The Livelink Reader is IP65 rated for indoor/outdoor use with an IK07 impact rating, and operates from -25°C to +65°C at 10-90% relative humidity (non-condensing). The Nexus Enclosure and Door Interface are designed for indoor installation only.
-
iOS 15.0 or later and Android 12.0 or later using the Nexus App. Once the phone has been securely enrolled and its Permissions provisioned, no app interaction is required at the point of access. A One Time Session Token is used during enrolment to associate the mobile device with the user.
-
Firmware updates are deployed over-the-air through Nexus and the Swarm Intelligence network, so updates can be rolled out remotely across a site without manually visiting individual devices.
-
Each Livelink has optical mounting-surface tamper detection. If the device is disturbed or removed, Nexus generates a tamper event for the Activity Log and associated monitoring workflows.
-
Yes. The Lift Control Module connects over 2.4GHz mesh Wi-Fi and provides a high-level interface to lift controllers, enabling floor-by-floor access control (with physical I/O available via an alarm expander if needed).
-
Up to 100m over the encrypted LiveLink connection bus
-
Use the Nexus 4-Way I/O Expander (NX-EXP204) or 10-Way I/O Expander (NX-EXP210). Both add additional I/O capacity with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, without requiring another central controller or dedicated LAN connection.
-
Yes. The permissions are bound to the user's phone, and the phone's own biometric security (PIN, fingerprint, Face ID) secures it — giving multi-factor authentication by default with no extra configuration. Log in to the live.nexus cloud for operators is also secured with MFA
-
A 3-year Nexus manufacturer's hardware warranty is included as standard, subject to the terms and exclusions in the Nexus Warranty and Returns Policy.
-
Yes, via the Nexus Integration Gateway (NX-GTW500), which supports TCP/IP, RS-485, BACnet, Modbus, and more - useful for tying access control into wider BMS, alarm platforms or adjacent systems.
-
The LiveLink has a full-colour RGB LED - Nexus Orange by default at standby, green for access granted, and red for access denied. Additional status colours are configurable via the Nexus platform.
-
The Nexus Enclosure, UPS and Battery Kit (NX-ENK801) can house up to two Door Interface PCBs (NX-DIF100), together with the Nexus Smart UPS and LiFePO4 battery. The enclosure is designed for indoor wall-mount or in-ceiling installation.
-
Yes, intentionally. The same signed Activity Record may reach Nexus Cloud through multiple paths for resilience. Nexus identifies the copies as the same logical record and de-duplicates them, so the Activity Log contains only one event.
-
Nexus's patented Intelligent Presence Sensing technology precisely determines a mobile device's location, enabling secure access up to 500mm range from a LiveLink Reader — no tap, wave, or app interaction needed.
-
The reader has a cable entry hole of 12mm and ships with a 500mm, 4-core pigtail style cable.
-
The enclosure is supplied with the NX-BAT900 12.8V 5Ah LiFePO4 battery. For longer standby time, the NX-BAT901 12.8V 10Ah battery is available as an upgrade. Actual runtime depends on the connected system and lock load.
-
Door access continues because the access decision does not depend on Wi-Fi or a live cloud connection. The Livelink remains part of the Nexus mesh, and Activity Records can route through other Livelinks to an available nearby phone or site Wi-Fi path. The mesh automatically adapts as connectivity changes.
-
Up to 60m inside a typical building.
-
Yes, range is adjustable when configuring the reader in the portal. The Livelink Reader is suitable for carpark applications.
-
Yes. The front cover is a removable shell. It ships in black as standard, with a white front cover shell available as an alternative. (part number NX-COV-WHT).
