ArmidaWare™ SecurityController
Enhanced Wireless Video Surveillance Controller
The ArmidaWare SecurityController is an integrated wireless controller that provides a consolidated point of control for surveillance and a reliable communications platform for other security functions, such as access control and alarms. Combining a video server, a serial controller, an Ethernet controller, and wireless transceiver in one box, the SecurityController dramatically reduces the effort and hardware required to set up a wireless CCTV network.
Easy-to-Use, Cost-Effective Solution
The SecurityController provides an easy-to-use, cost-effective solution that delivers security, surveillance, and access control data over long distances through a secure wireless network. It unites the functionality of several key components:
- Multi-port Video Server — connect analog cameras
- Serial Controller — connect RS422 and RS485 alarm and access control panels
- 802.11a/b/g Wireless Access Point — enables mobile video viewing
- Ethernet Switch — connect digital cameras
- 2.4 GHz wireless controller — connect wireless cameras
The SecurityController does not require costly and complicated installation, and is less expensive to own and operate than traditional analog or IP surveillance systems. Together with the ArmidaWare Network Video Recorder (NVR) Software, the SecurityController provides a complete foundation for your security needs.
ArmidaWare’s simple architecture delivers high-quality video without the cost or installation hurdles of traditional wireless networks.
