Genetec brings powerful new capabilities to Security Center SaaS - Middle East Business News and Information
Flexible, open platform gives security professionals and integrators the freedom to deploy and scale physical security on their terms DUBAI, July, 2025 — Genetec Inc. ('Genetec'), the global leader in enterprise physical security software, announced new updates to Security Center SaaS, the company's enterprise-grade Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution. Since its launch, Genetec has delivered new features to the platform every 12 days. This ensures Genetec provides a flexible, open, SaaS solution that is continuously extended to meet the needs of any modern security operation. Security Center SaaS combines video surveillance, access control, forensic search, intrusion monitoring, automation, and other advanced capabilities in a single solution. Designed to run fully in the cloud or in a hybrid deployment that can include on-premises systems, it gives organizations the freedom to choose how they manage and scale their security infrastructure. The latest updates expand support for direct-to-cloud cameras, improve edge recording capabilities, and introduce new third-party analytics integrations, reinforcing the platform's pace of innovation and commitment to customer choice. Unlike proprietary SaaS solutions, Security Center SaaS enables security professionals and channel partners to choose the hardware that best fits their needs, without being locked into a single vendor. Its open architecture supports a broad range of devices from Axis, Bosch, and i-PRO, including direct-to-cloud, PTZ, and fisheye cameras (now with automatic de-warping). Organizations can connect their current non-cloud-ready access control devices, cameras, and intrusion panels using Genetec appliances, avoiding the costs of replacing existing hardware. This flexibility further extends to deployment models. Security Center SaaS gives organizations full control over their cloud migration, supporting cloud-native, on-premises infrastructure, or a combination of both. Video can be stored at the edge or in the cloud, depending on bandwidth, policy, or operational needs, with centralized management through web and mobile apps. New edge recording via SD cards enables local storage on the camera, while recording profiles make it easy to define how and where video is captured across multiple devices. With built-in support for WebRTC, the platform also enables peer-to-peer video streaming directly from cameras to a web interface. This reduces video call-up time and bandwidth usage, making it ideal for live monitoring, spot checks, and large-scale deployments, without requiring additional configuration. Security Center SaaS simplifies the management of multi-site environments across sectors such as retail, education, corporate campuses, banking, healthcare, and city infrastructure. Operators can manage systems from a central Security Operations Center (SOC) or remotely via web and mobile apps. Real-time alerts enable teams to respond quickly and consistently, while its open architecture makes it easy to integrate partner technology that further enhances these capabilities. For example, new firearm detection analytics from Bosch can trigger immediate alerts and initiate event-to-action workflows the moment a weapon is identified, helping security teams act decisively when it matters most. 'Genetec is redefining what SaaS means for physical security. It's not just moving to the cloud; it's about giving customers and integrators the flexibility to build, scale, and evolve their systems,' said Christian Morin, Vice President of Product Engineering at Genetec Inc. 'Security Center SaaS stands apart by unifying physical security functions on a single platform, continuously adding new cloud-native capabilities while supporting the hardware and deployment models organizations already rely on.'

Genetec upgrades Security Center SaaS with new cloud features
Genetec has introduced updates to its Security Center SaaS solution that provide organisations with enhanced flexibility and options for managing physical security infrastructure. Security Center SaaS integrates video surveillance, access control, forensic search, intrusion monitoring, automation, and additional advanced functions into a single platform. It is designed to operate fully in the cloud or in a hybrid environment combining on-premises and cloud systems. This approach allows organisations to determine how best to structure and scale their security solutions according to specific requirements. Platform enhancements The latest updates to the platform include expanded integration for direct-to-cloud cameras, improved support for edge recording, and the introduction of new analytics integrations from third parties. These capabilities are intended to increase the flexibility and pace at which the system adapts to client needs. Security Center SaaS's open architecture supports a variety of devices from multiple manufacturers, including Axis, Bosch, and i-PRO. It is compatible with direct-to-cloud, PTZ, and fisheye cameras, now offering automatic de-warping for enhanced image quality and usability. The solution does not require replacement of existing non-cloud-ready cameras, access control devices or intrusion panels. Instead, these can be connected to the platform via Genetec appliances, reducing upgrade and migration costs. Flexible deployment The platform is designed to give security professionals freedom in deployment. Organisations can opt for a purely cloud-native solution, maintain on-premises systems, or use a hybrid mix of both. Video footage can be stored locally on edge devices such as SD cards within cameras or centrally in the cloud, with settings tailored to bandwidth constraints, policy preferences, or operational needs. Centralised management of these features is available through web and mobile applications, enabling users to control systems from a Security Operations Center or remotely. New edge recording capabilities allow for local storage and subsequent transfer of footage. Recording profiles make it possible to define storage settings across a range of cameras and devices, streamlining management and compliance. Peer-to-peer streaming The inclusion of WebRTC technology enables direct video streaming from cameras to web interfaces through peer-to-peer connections. This development decreases the time needed to bring up video streams and lessens bandwidth use, which is particularly effective for live monitoring or when managing operations across multiple locations simultaneously. Analytics and real-time response The system's open architecture also supports integration of analytics from various vendors. For example, new firearm detection analytics developed by Bosch can automatically trigger alerts and initiate workflows whenever a weapon is identified by the platform. Such integrations are intended to enhance the responsiveness and effectiveness of security teams. Security Center SaaS is suited for use across multiple sectors, including retail, education, corporate campuses, banking, healthcare, and urban infrastructure. Its features are designed to address the operational realities of managing security in distributed or multi-site environments, supporting both centralised and decentralised management as required. "Genetec is redefining what SaaS means for physical security. It's not just moving to the cloud; it's about giving customers and integrators the flexibility to build, scale, and evolve their systems," said Christian Morin, Vice President of Product Engineering at Genetec Inc. "Security Center SaaS stands apart by unifying physical security functions on a single platform, continuously adding new cloud-native capabilities while supporting the hardware and deployment models organisations already rely on." Genetec has committed to delivering new features to Security Center SaaS on a frequent basis, with updates being introduced every 12 days since its initial release. This release cycle is designed to ensure the platform remains current and capable of addressing evolving security requirements and operational demands.
