547 Vicon Industries has launched Vicon SMS, its new, IP-based access control management system. Designed for complete integration with ViconNet digital video management systems, the new system allows for the automatic linking of ViconNet video with corresponding access control events, which can then be called up and viewed via the Vicon SMS interface.

This new access control system is engineered using third-generation edge device technology which enables the system to function independent of any PC software. The system is appliance-based, consisting of a controller and one or more 'nodes' that connect to readers, sensors and other physical security devices. The operating system, database engine and application software reside within these appliances. A browser-based interface allows users to manage and operate the system from any PC with network access using a standard Web browser. Vicon claims that this browser-based GUI, combined with the appliance-based architecture, makes Vicon SMS incomparably easy to install, operate and maintain. It can accommodate any size of installation, from systems employing a few card readers and cameras to enterprise-scale solutions.
