Access Control Manager Server Hardware Requirements: What Actually Matters

Security integrators spend a lot of time spec’ing controllers, readers, and panels. The server often gets picked last — a leftover budget line, a repurposed workstation, or whatever the IT department had on the shelf. That’s the wrong approach, and the field proves it repeatedly: slow door grant times under concurrent operator load, event queues […]

5 Key AMD EPYC™ 9005 Features That Make VideoX V5 Video Surveillance Servers Unstoppable

Purpose-built performance for H.265, AI, and real-time analytics — so integrators can focus on delivering security, not solving server math. When you’re protecting people, assets, and operations, the last thing you want is a bottleneck in your server room. Modern surveillance systems demand huge processing power — decoding hundreds of H.264 and H.265 streams, running […]
