Integrated Security System
Vindicator® provides one of the world’s fastest, most flexible and secure data communications networks. The Vindicator Communications Network is composed of a series of intelligent devices that provide encrypted and redundant data transfer from the sensor to the command and control center. The Vindicator Network is used as the backbone for security systems at high-risk facilities, and is a cost-effective solution for a variety of sites and applications.

The Vindicator Communications Network is installed at more than 1,500 sites worldwide, including military bases, refineries, correctional facilities, ports, utilities, and financial institutions. The Vindicator Communications Network integrates any number of Vindicator devices with the V5 Network Security Appliance to create an encrypted, private network on any enterprise infrastructure. The network consists of two basic types of devices for encrypting and transporting data for security, fire and life safety, and building automation:

• Data devices accept digital and analog signals from many field sensors such as access control readers, perimeter detection devices, alarm information from fire systems, etc. The data is then encrypted and routed to the end user via LAN/WAN, RS485, fiber, RF, or other existing media.
• Gateways bridge two different forms of media - i.e., they often transport data from RS485 lines to a fiber optic network. Gateways are also used as intelligent routing devices to segment networks and route data through

Flexible - Vindicator network devices can be easily installed at any site to extend the network where it is needed. Data can then be securely routed from the field to monitoring facilities via many different types of existing communications media. The network also integrates with many types and brands of pre-existing access control devices, sensors and detection systems.

Secure - This network has never been victim to hacking, and is not susceptible to viruses or worms or other malicious attacks. The fully redundant network is TDEA approved (Triple Data Encryption Algorithm, also known as Triple DES) by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The system is also certified, without waiver, to protect nuclear facilities.

Reliable - Vindicator network components deliver an 11-year meantime- between-failure rate.

Programmable - Analog inputs are completely programmable. State values of Alarm, Secure, Trouble, Tamper, Sensor Test and Local Access are assignable to programmable voltage windows that can overlap and be assigned precedence based on your application, making the range of input devices supported virtually unlimited. A digital filter ensures that when a state-change does occur, there are no false readings.
