Genetec Security Centre SaaS maximises existing access control and camera investments

New offering supports direct-to-cloud workflows with Axis, Bosch, Hanwha and i-PRO devices, while the new Genetec Cloudlink line of appliances enables already deployed access control and camera equipment to connect to the cloud.

Genetec, a leading technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations and business intelligence solutions, has announced that its new enterprise-grade SaaS solution, Security Centre SaaS, gives organisations the complete freedom to choose the door controllers, cameras and devices that work best for their business.

Based on an open platform architecture, Security Centre SaaS enables organisations to connect direct-to-cloud with the latest Axis, Bosch, Hanwha and i-PRO cameras. Security Centre SaaS also brings organisations’ existing access control and camera hardware to the cloud through the new range of Genetec Cloudlink appliances – maximising existing infrastructure investment.

Direct-to-cloud connection support for Axis, Bosch, Hanwha and i-PRO devices

• In addition to an open portfolio of cameras by a range of manufacturers, Security Centre SaaS takes full advantage of the newly announced Axis Cloud Connect solution and the existing Axis Powered by Genetec network door controller. Security Centre SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a diversity of deployment options, including direct device-to-cloud streaming of video, metadata and access control data.
• The latest Bosch cameras will seamlessly integrate with Genetec Security Centre SaaS. With firmware version 9.21 releasing later this year, Bosch will provide camera configuration capabilities and video viewing in the Security Centre SaaS platform through direct-to-cloud connections.
• Hanwha Vision’s Q series cameras will be fully compatible with Security Centre SaaS. Over time, Hanwha Vision will continue to add support for Security Centre SaaS across its entire product line to enhance its integrated systems.
• i-PRO will make as many existing camera models as possible compatible with the new Genetec solution through an app-based approach. Users of AI-enabled i-PRO cameras will be able to simply install an application on the camera to give direct access to Genetec Security Centre SaaS.
