Built on the HID Aero controller platform, the IDCUBE ICA Series gives enterprises a reliable and open foundation for physical access control. It combines proven HID controller hardware with a Linux-based, IP-enabled architecture. The platform supports OSDP Secure Channel, AES-256 encryption, TLS, and hardware-based protection for keys and passwords. This helps secure credential data from the reader to the host.

HID Aero controller integrates with Access360 Helix for on-premises deployments and Access360.AI for cloud-based environments. This enables centralised configuration, real-time monitoring, and consistent access policies across sites, with the flexibility to scale as security requirements change.

Engineered for secure, scalable deployments

ICA panels offer secure, cloud-integrated access control with seamless Access360 compatibility. Deploy the configuration that matches your environment.

Access Box: A secure home for HID Aero controllers

IDCUBE Access Box provides a secure, tamper-protected, and organised enclosure for IDCUBE ICA Series controllers powered by HID Aero. It houses the controller, power supply, battery, wiring, and interface modules in one robust, powder-coated steel enclosure. A key lock prevents unauthorised access, while selected models include a tamper switch. Built-in electrical protection supports safer operation. Multiple enclosure sizes simplify installation, maintain neat cabling, ease maintenance, and support future system expansion.

    Frequently asked questions

    An HID Aero controller manages access decisions for secured doors. It connects readers, credentials, locks, sensors, and access control software while storing permissions and processing access events locally.

    HID Aero is the successor to HID VertX and EDGE. It provides stronger cybersecurity, improved scalability, OSDP support, open integration, and compatibility with selected legacy VertX interface modules.

    The X1100C supports two access points and up to four OSDP or two Wiegand readers onboard. Additional interface modules can expand readers, doors, inputs, and outputs.

    Yes, HID Aero intelligent controllers can work with supported VertX V100, V200, and V300 modules. This helps organisations retain selected hardware, wiring, and connectors during system upgrades.

    Yes, HID Aero X1100C and X100 modules support OSDP and Wiegand readers. OSDP Secure Channel is recommended for encrypted, bidirectional communication, remote management, and stronger reader security.

    Yes, HID Aero can process stored access permissions and schedules locally during temporary outages. Recorded transactions can be transferred to the host system after network communication is restored.

    HID Aero protects access control data using TLS, AES-256 encryption, OSDP Secure Channel, hardware cryptography, and encrypted storage for credentials, passwords, access permissions, and security keys.

    HID Aero integrates with Access360.ai and Access360 Helix. Access360 centrally manages cardholders, credentials, doors, access rules, schedules, alarms, controller status, and access events through Aero hardware.

    HID Aero supports Access360’s access control foundation and enables connected workflows for Attendance, Visitor Management, AInsights, and GreenID. Available functions depend on readers, credentials, deployment, and system configuration.

    Access360 with HID Aero centralises security and daily operations. It improves access monitoring, visitor entry, attendance, mobile access, alarm response, reporting, and analytics while reducing manual work and complexity.
