Software House, part of the Security Products business unit of Tyco (NYSE: TYC), the world?s largest pure-play fire protection and security company, announces the introduction of victor Unified SiteServer, a unified access control and video network appliance.

Using a deeply embedded victor unifying client, victor Unified SiteServer takes a holistic video approach of managing and monitoring access control, video, and intrusion from one database all from one easy-to-use box.

The victor Unified Client is a new client choice which can be run in parallel with existing C?CURE 9000 client choices, providing the increased functionality of combined client features.

The victor Unified SiteServer is pre-installed with all the software needed for a convenient, quick and easy way to manage and monitor the various activities related to access control, video and intrusion.

The unified appliance supports the latest versions of C?CURE 9000, victor Unified client and VideoEdge NVR software.

?victor Unified SiteServer takes an all-in-one approach that not only harnesses the full power of the access, video and intrusion systems from Tyco Security Products, but does so in a time-optimizing, resource-maximizing, and money-saving way,? said Jason Ouellette, Product Line Director – Access Control, for Tyco Security Products. ?With victor Unified SiteServer, you can quickly drill down to get the specific details of a C?CURE 9000 access control event and its associated video all in one convenient interface.”

Through victor Unified SiteServer, users can perform specific system tasks such as badging, dynamic mapping, advanced reporting, custom application layouts, video smart search, and analytics for improved situational awareness.

The pre-configured database of readers, doors, controllers and cameras significantly reduces set up time, as does the easy-to-follow start-up wizard.

Key features of victor Unified SiteServer include support for up to 32 access control readers and 32 IP cameras; a 240 GB solid state drive for enhanced system reliability; two independent Ethernet LAN ports for flexible network configuration; and a health dashboard that monitors critical activities such as network bandwidth, memory, and system functionality.

For customers with many geographically diverse sites, the victor Unified SiteServer can provide local, on-site reliable operation and facility control.

Each victor Unified SiteServer can then communicate with the main, centralized server that provides efficient global system management of the entire enterprise system.
