As part of HID Global’s Networked Access Solutions, each Network controller offers the capability to connect anywhere from 2 to up to 64 reader doors using a single IP address. Both controllers handle all online door decisions, door input monitoring and output control connecting to Avigilon’s Access Control Manager (ACM).

The HID Global VertX® high performance interface and I/O modules communicate through a high speed RS-485 network using industry-standard TCP/IP protocol over 10/100 Mbps Ethernet or the Internet to Avigilon’s Access Control Manager (ACM). Whether interfacing with process equipment such as HVAC or video switchers, or expanding the door/reader capacity to meet project requirements, the VertX line has the versatility needed for sending access information to any of the two available Network controllers.

Mercury’s intelligent system controllers are a powerful solution for managing anywhere from seventeen (17) to sixty-four (64) readers with the Avigilon™ Access Control Manager (ACM)™ system. With the flexibility to meet many installation environments, Mercury controllers communicate using PoE or RS-485 and expand I/O and readers by simply adding input, output and reader interface modules.

Mercury’s interface modules are low cost, high performance devices that provide all the I/O needed for managing multiple controlled openings with auxiliary point control and monitoring. What’s more, they provide access control and security monitoring using any of the three available intelligent controllers connecting to the ACM access system.

Mercury Security focuses on supplying OEM hardware for access control. With more than 2.5 million control panels in operation, Mercury is one of the top players in the market. Avigilon is a Platinum Elite Mercury Partner and offers Mercury controllers, interface modules and I/O modules as part of our Access Control Manager solution.
