Migrate Facility Commander To Genetec Synergis Using Mercury M5s?

While it is cheaper and faster to convert Micros using the M5 Bridge it has drawbacks.  If you want any kind of encryption  don't use the M5 Bridge hardware, go with the Series 3 Mercury Controllers and Readers Boards.  The M5 Bridge is a stop gap to get you off FC and the hardware will not be developed much further to support new features and functions as the platforms grow.

Are we sure the M5 Controller can support encryption at rest and in flight/motion using hardware crypto on the board and not software crypto?  I want to make sure I did not get incorrect info when doing my research earlier on getting rid of Micros and the options that were avaialbe. 

It was a blanket statement, if there is no hardware based crypto/encrption for at rest/moition as well as OSDPv2 then IMO it does not support encryption just becuase it can do AES128-256/TLS. (at least to standards that I must follow to be complaint)

...more I read this, the more I’m thinking a forklift job is required. Personally I don’t like businesses telling me which products I can use or locking me in with proprietary hardware. To me, the product I use should be based on their ability to meet my functional needs, not it’s too expensive to go elsewhere. Reminds me of the government bailouts of Merrill Lynch, Chrysler etc...too big to fail so make the little guy pay for their greed and poor management only to be charged an arm and leg.
