System-level Security Server
The V^{5 IDS solution consists of the V5 IDS server, required downstream I/O, Vindicator® Command and Control (VCC) operator interface, and local I/O modules to suit any size application. Built on the V5 Network Security Appliance™, the Vindicator IDS solution is the central control unit for enterprise-wide security needs. The V5 IDS server receives input directly via on-board I/O, from sensors connected to Vindicator field transponders, from V5 ACS servers, and from third-party systems. It also directly controls advanced assessment solutions such as CCTV and thermal-imaging systems, ground and water-based radar systems. The V5 IDS server processes events and sends relevant information to one or more VCC consoles for operator interaction, response and dispatch.}

Industry Leading Scalability, Reliability and System-Security
The embedded server of the V^{5 IDS is not susceptible to viruses or worms that plague PC-based security solutions. With its built-in support for redundant operation and its ability to communicate with other Vindicator devices over an encrypted network, the V5 IDS server is second to none in enterprise security. The V5 IDS server can monitor a few dozen or tens of thousands of alarm points and device inputs. Chosen by many government agencies, military installations, banks, correctional facilities, ports, and utilities, the V5 IDS server is capable of protecting the vital assets of any organization.}

Data Processing - The embedded IDS server software supervises system equipment status and distributes system status changes to operator interfaces and peripheral equipment. It also accepts commands from operators and evaluates the significance of system events against defined “normal” conditions. The IDS server connects to Vindicator field devices over many media types including: RS485, fiber, Ethernet, serial, etc.

Various Alarm Types - The V^{5 IDS server supports multiple alarm types, including standard, delayed, combined, auto-secure, two-man access and group access alarms. Each type serves a specific purpose in the site security plan and ensures that the security scheme matches the operational reality for the facility. The V5 IDS separates alarm points into categories of importance as their status changes. An alarm’s priority affects the way it is displayed, the type of alarm employed when the point goes off normal, and its position on the Action List screen.}

Enterprise Capabilities - When coupled with the powerful V^{5 ACS server, the enterprise potential of the system is enhanced. The watchman’s tour function can be used to ensure proper, safe and regular rounds by staff personnel, ensuring credentials are presented to a set of readers in a particular order within a specified amount of time. The global antipassback feature controls user access based on individual authorization. Event and system information from one or more V5 IDS servers can be routed to a single or multiple VCC consoles to create regionalized solutions and can be integrated with Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) platforms, resource management platforms or emergency response systems.}

Powerful Administration and Maintenance Interface - A single V^{5 IDS server can be used as a remote configuration interface for other V5 servers in the network and to interface with downstream Vindicator transponders. The V5 IDS server speeds installation and enhances troubleshooting by providing a powerful maintenance console for performing device and network diagnostics.}
