Genetec Announces Major Updates to Security Center SaaS
Home » Tech Value Chain » Global Brands » Genetec Announces Major Updates to Security Center SaaS Genetec Inc., a enterprise physical security software, has announced new updates to its Security Center SaaS platform. This enterprise-grade Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution continues to evolve rapidly. Since launch, Genetec has delivered new features to the platform every 12 days. This consistent pace supports a flexible, open SaaS solution that meets the needs of modern security operations. Security Center SaaS integrates video surveillance, access control, forensic search, intrusion monitoring, automation, and more in a single platform. It is designed for full cloud deployment or a hybrid model that includes on-premises systems. The company revealed that the latest updates enhance support for direct-to-cloud cameras. They also improve edge recording features and introduce new third-party analytics integrations. Genetec reported that, unlike proprietary platforms, Security Center SaaS allows users to select hardware from various vendors. It supports devices from Axis, Bosch, and i-PRO, including PTZ and fisheye cameras with automatic de-warping. Organizations can use Genetec appliances to connect legacy devices like non-cloud-ready cameras, access control units, and intrusion panels. This avoids the need for costly hardware replacements. Moreover, the platform supports diverse deployment models. Users can manage cloud-native systems, on-prem infrastructure, or a mix of both. Video storage is flexible. Depending on bandwidth or policy, video can be saved at the edge or in the cloud. Centralized management is available via web and mobile apps. The update adds new SD card edge recording, enabling local storage on cameras. Recording profiles help define how and where video is captured across devices. Additionally, Genetec confirmed that Security Center SaaS now includes built-in support for WebRTC. This enables direct video streaming from cameras to a web interface, improving video call-up speed and reducing bandwidth usage. This makes the platform ideal for live monitoring and spot checks. No additional configuration is needed. • The platform simplifies management of multi-site operations in sectors like retail, education, banking, healthcare, and city infrastructure. • Real-time alerts enable faster responses, while open architecture supports easy integration with partner technologies. One example is the new firearm detection analytics from Bosch. These can trigger immediate alerts and initiate workflows when a weapon is identified. Christian Morin, Vice President of Product Engineering at Genetec, stated that the company is redefining what SaaS means for physical security. 'It's not just about moving to the cloud,' he said. 'It's about giving customers and integrators the flexibility to build, scale, and evolve their systems.' Genetec emphasized that Security Center SaaS unifies physical security tools in one platform. It continues to expand with new cloud-native capabilities while supporting existing hardware and deployments.

Genetec Launches AutoVu ALPR Analysis Reports Plugin
Home » Top stories » Genetec Launches AutoVu ALPR Analysis Reports Plugin Genetec Inc., a global provider of enterprise physical security software, has announced the launch of the AutoVu™ ALPR Analysis Reports plugin. The new tool enhances ALPR-based forensic search capabilities in Genetec™ Security Center. The plugin is designed to help law enforcement officers and investigators analyze vehicle behavior more efficiently. It allows them to narrow down suspects quickly by examining driving speed and identifying vehicle travel cohorts. As a result, it reduces manual data sorting and saves critical investigation time. 'This plugin gives investigators what they need to close cases faster,' said Steve Hins, Product Group Manager, ALPR at Genetec Inc. 'With just a few clicks, they can spot patterns and behaviors in vehicle data that would otherwise take hours or days to uncover manually.' The AutoVu ALPR Analysis Reports plugin includes two major features: Cohort Analysis: Investigators can identify vehicles that regularly travel with a known license plate. This may reveal links to organized criminal activity. Officers can define how often vehicles appear together across multiple ALPR cameras. The system then detects patterns instantly. In cases like retail theft, this helps spot associated getaway cars. Investigators can identify vehicles that regularly travel with a known license plate. This may reveal links to organized criminal activity. Officers can define how often vehicles appear together across multiple ALPR cameras. The system then detects patterns instantly. In cases like retail theft, this helps spot associated getaway cars. Time and Speed Analysis: This feature helps detect vehicles with outlier speed behavior, such as those fleeing a crime scene. Officers select two ALPR cameras and a time range. The system calculates vehicle speeds between cameras and flags anomalies. For example, a vehicle traveling 60 mph in a 30 mph zone after an incident becomes a potential lead. The plugin offers a faster way to pinpoint suspects in events like hit-and-runs or organized theft. It turns large volumes of ALPR data into actionable intelligence within minutes. The AutoVu ALPR Analysis Reports plugin is available globally. It is offered as a paid add-on for Security Center and can be purchased through the Genetec network of accredited channel partners. This launch strengthens Genetec's commitment to delivering advanced tools that support smarter, data-driven policing.
