Vicon SMS
IP-Based
Access Control
for Integration with
ViconNet®
Digital Video
Management
What is Vicon SMS?
 Vicon SMS is a third-generation, best-of-breed
IP-based security management solution designed
for integration with the ViconNet digital video
management system.
 ViconNet video, corresponding to logged access
control events, may be viewed and retrieved
through the Vicon SMS interface.
Why Vicon SMS?
 User-friendly ViconNet SMS software runs
exclusively on a combination of network edge
appliances and devices that require no PC-based
server.
 The browser-based interface allows control of the
system from any browser-enabled PC with access
to the network.
 Vicon SMS is suitable for any size installation, from
small to enterprise scale. Systems may be easily
expanded and upgraded as needed.
Two Leading Solutions Working Together
The industry’s
most powerful, complete
integrated security
solution
What Does 3rd Generation Mean?
3rd Generation – 2004 & beyond
Network edge appliances, edge
devices, zero footprint software,
no PC based server required –
Vicon SMS!
2nd Generation - 1990s
Windows-based PCs, client/server
environment, typical of most current
product offerings (Lenel, GE,
Honeywell, etc.)
1st Generation - 1980s
Host based systems using VAX or Unix
and “dumb” video terminals.
Any Browser from Any Computer from Anywhere
• may require VPN software
to access SMS through
corporate firewall
• see manual for browser
compatibility variables
Let’s look at the components…
SMS Controller Options
The Controller is the “Brain” of the system. Each
network system requires one controller. The Controller
provides the following functions:
• Web Server
• Database Server
• Database Storage
• Application Logic
Enterprise Ultra
Network
• Supports up to 64 readers
• Controller “card” fits within
wall mount or rack mount
enclosure
Enterprise
• Supports up to 3584 readers
• Free-standing 2 RU unit with
disk drive and RAID
• Supports up to 896 readers
• Free-standing 1 RU unit with
disk drive
Software and database reside within the controller. There is absolutely NO
PC-based software needed to operate the system.

Configuration
Node Options
• Nodes are edge devices that connect card readers,
temperature gauges and other physical security
hardware to the network.
• Nodes store data related to local access control events
and relay the data to the Controller.
• Networks are comprised of one Controller and any
number of nodes.
• Nodes are configured with application cards. Different
types of cards allows the node to interface with
different types of access control hardware. “Reader”
cards are the most common.
Inside a Node…
Rack Mount
Lightweight aluminum enclosure
features:
• status LED
• 12 VDC power supply, 12
• Fits standard 19” rack, 4 RU high
• slots for up to 7 application cards
Wall Mount
Lightweight aluminum enclosure
features:
• key lock
• status LED
• tamper switch
• 12 VDC power supply
• slots for up to 7 application cards
NOTE: Both of these models may be configured to serve as a Node or as a combination
Controller/Node. Remember, one Controller must reside on each SMS network.
Application Cards
• Vicon SMS offers four types of application cards
• Access Control Readers
• Supports 2 readers, 4 inputs, 4 outputs
• Supervised Inputs
• Supports 8 inputs
• Relay Controlled Outputs
• Supports 8 outputs
• Temperature Inputs
• Supports 8 inputs
• Vicon SMS offers a temperature probe for use
with this application card
Another Option, the Micro Node…
The Micro Node is designed for
installation directly at the door/reader
location.
It does NOT use application cards.
It is not capable of serving as a
combination Node/Controller.
A separate Controller must reside
elsewhere on the network.
Micro Node
Self contained unit supports:
• 2 readers
• 2 switchable outputs for powering locks
• 1 temperature input
• Connect directly to the network
• PoE or local 12 V power

In small to medium size systems,
one “Controller Card” can fit within
any one Node of the system
Larger systems require a free-standing
Enterprise-Scale Controller:
Application Cards fit
within the Nodes
Data Security & Conformance to IT Standards
• Server to Nodes Data Security
• Supports SHA1 Authentication Protocol, meaning only
encrypted versions of passwords are stored on the server
• Server to Browser
• Supports Secure Socket Layer (SSL), ensuring security and
integrity of all data transmitted and received via the browser
• Compatible with any TCP/IP Wireless-Mesh Topology
• Minimal Bandwidth Impact
• 100 bytes or less data packets
• Resides in the customer’s established network
security environment for optimum protection
Superior TCO – Total Cost of Ownership
TCO =
