Think differently about video monitoring

Does it feel like your aging CCTV or video management system (VMS) is holding you back? Adding new cameras, streaming higher-resolution video and expanding to new sites puts a strain on IT infrastructure. Emerging cybersecurity threats and growing privacy requirements also make your legacy system a dangerous liability.

Omnicast™ is an IP-based VMS that lets you work smarter with video. With a clear picture of events, you respond quicker and make informed decisions. Its flexible architecture and efficient streaming reduces storage and lightens network load. And, it easily scales up, uses the latest cameras and analytics, and unlocks operational insights. Omnicast is part of our Genetec™ Security Center platform, making it easy to unify video with access control, intrusion, comms and more.
