Security Center
Security Center is the unified security platform offered by Genetec that blends IP-security systems in one platform. Security Center unifies your video monitoring, access control, license plate recognition, intrusion management and more under one single platform. The open platform supports a wide variety of certified devices and add-ons to adapt your evolving campus needs.
Key components of the portfolio
Omnicast
The Omnicast™ IP video management system (VMS) provides colleges and universities with confidence that their video is recording key areas of the campus. The video surveillance system scales with your needs and lets you take advantage of the latest hardware and analytics technologies. The Omnicast system adapts to the changing demands of your campus environment to help you make more informed decisions.
Key components of the portfolio
Synergis
The Synergis™ IP access control system (ACS) heightens your campus security while leveraging any existing network and third-party access control devices. With Synergis, you can give students and staff one credential to use for the library, laundry facilities, dormitories, classrooms, cashless vending machines, and more.
Key components of the portfolio
AutoVu
The AutoVu™ automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) system automates license plate reading and identification. This makes it easier for your parking management team to locate and count vehicles of interest like buses, taxis, and car-sharing services and enforce parking restrictions. Ensure that vehicles pay for parking services and reduce the entry of unauthorized vehicles, maximizing parking revenues.
