Security Software Built to Your Requirements
StarWatch SMS™ is the powerful, proven software platform at the core of every DAQ security solution — purpose-built for the way security professionals actually work. Shaped by decades of military-grade engineering and refined through real-world deployment in demanding environments, StarWatch SMS adapts to your requirements — not the other way around.
One Interface. Total Control. Zero Compromise.
Configured for Your Operation. Not Someone Else's.
Most security software is designed the way its developers think you want it — and then sold to you as is. StarWatch SMS is fundamentally different. Developed over decades of serving the exacting requirements of the U.S. Department of Defense, StarWatch SMS is built from the ground up to be configured, customized, and optimized to match the precise needs of each installation it supports. System integrators and site security managers work directly with a platform that bends to their requirements — defining which functions are enabled, how information is displayed, how alarms are handled, and how the system responds to events — creating a security environment that operates exactly the way they want it to.
The Backbone of a Complete Security Environment
Access control, intrusion detection, and video management converge seamlessly under a single, elegant interface, with every connected sensor, portal, camera, and third-party device contributing to a unified, real-time picture of your entire security environment. From a single secured door to a sprawling multi-site enterprise installation, StarWatch SMS scales effortlessly — bringing the same military-proven intelligence, reliability, and depth of functionality to commercial applications across every industry we serve. This is not just security software. This is the backbone of everything we build.
