Unification and innovation
The path to better security
The power of unification
Unification is at the core of our development focus. It’s what empowers advancements in how our customers run their physical security operations.
When all of your physical security activities, functions, and data originate from within the same system, you can harness the flow of data across your security activities. Making it easier and more efficient to secure people, buildings, and assets - while also supporting operational efficiencies.
A different approach to bringing multiple systems together
We had a vision to reduce the redundancy that came with having many different security solutions. We knew from speaking to our customers that integrating each security product together meant a lot of time, cost, and effort in maintenance and upgrades to each product individually. With that knowledge, we set out to create a physical security platform that would enable multiple products to be unified together to work as one.
Unification vs integration

How unification is different from integration
At its core, unified security is a suite of products developed as one unit. You can turn on or off different modules, but you can’t break the connections – because there aren’t any. Integration is when you connect one system to another; it has its benefits, but having to upgrade and maintain multiple systems isn’t one of them.
Open means you have the power to choose
Our security platform was built on open architecture. Which means that your core physical security products are unified and you can also add the functionality or data you need to the system from other products. You’re free to choose from a long list of hardware and software tools that can extend your Genetec platform and still be able to see and manage everything from a single interface.
The key to unlock long term value
A unified solution supports your long-term growth needs by facilitating the flow and management of data across your security activities. We make it easy for you to add licenses and modules as you need them - without the compatibility issues.
Simplify day to day operator tasks
Move away from the traditional approach of having multiple independent systems and take advantage of a user interface that displays all possible physical security functions as one seamless experience. Empower your operators by giving them the information they need to be more efficient, make better decisions, and respond to incidents faster.
“It all started with door security, but as we went further into the selection process, we learned more about how Genetec™ Security Center could unify access control with video and automatic license plate recognition systems. We also had the option to adapt the system to our unique environment using some very granular settings.”

“The Genetec unified security platform provides our operators with one central source of information. It’s a refreshing change to have one solution from which the team can handle any issue.”

With Genetec “we have the opportunity to build security directly into the framework of the airport’s operations. This allows us to be more flexible, and to make sure that all needs are met.”

“What’s nice about Genetec™ Security Center is that every security device and system is unified into one solution. Before, we had a separate map system that was clunky and unreliable. With built-in maps and other intuitive features, our team now works faster during response and investigations. What once took us hours or days, now takes a quarter of the time.”
