Your physical security doesn’t stop at the door

Your access control system can do more than simply locking and unlocking doors on specific schedules. Synergis™ goes beyond the door to unlock new insights that help you improve everyday operations. It aggregates and displays data in a dynamic format to empower you to make better decisions.

From real-time occupancy management to the monitoring of unmanned infrastructure, Synergis can help protect your operations – not just your doors.

Minimize hardware replacements

Cut down on your migration costs by reusing existing readers, power supplies, and wiring. Using authentic Mercury bridge boards, Genetec saves you time and money by reusing most of your existing access control infrastructure.

Modernize at your own pace

Migrate your credential technology and access control devices at your own pace. Synergis lets you manage both serial and IP devices and proximity cards until they are phased out or end of life.

Pay as you go

Avoid upfront investments for software and service agreements, and free up capital by working with a predictable subscription model. By purchasing on subscription, you replace capital expenditures by low monthly or annual operational costs.

Database migration

The most labour-intensive part of the migration process is often ensuring the access control data is brought over correctly. Our database Conversion Service converts your existing database to Synergis, minimizing errors and saving you time. 

A way out of proprietary systems

Break free from proprietary systems. Move to an open, flexible, and unified solution that will continue to meet your business’s demands for years to come.
