Enterprise physical security software provider Genetec has announced fresh updates to its Security Center SaaS platform, which was launched in Australia last year.
That platform is the company’s enterprise-grade Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, hosted in Australia via Microsoft Azure.
The latest updates expand support for direct-to-cloud cameras, improve edge recording capabilities and introduce new third-party analytics integrations.
“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,” Genetec’s vice president of product engineering Christian Morin said.
Security Center SaaS
Genetec launched its Security Center SaaS solution last year. The solution affords users the flexibility to choose their hardware provider, without locking them into a single vendor.
Its open architecture supports a range of devices from Axis, Bosch and i-PRO, including direct-to-cloud, PTZ and fisheye cameras (now with automatic de-warping).
The solution is designed to operate either entirely in the cloud or in a hybrid deployment that can include on-premises systems.
Video can be stored at the edge or in the cloud, depending on bandwidth, policy, or operational needs, with centralised management through web and mobile apps.
Organisations can connect their current non-cloud-ready access control devices, cameras and intrusion panels using Genetec appliances, avoiding the costs involved with replacing existing hardware.
With built-in support for WebRTC, the platform also enables peer-to-peer video streaming directly from cameras to a web interface. It reduces video call-up time and bandwidth usage, making it ideal for live monitoring, spot checks and large-scale deployments without requiring additional configurations.
In February last year, Genetec unveiled its new Sydney office located in Pitt Street.
Over the last few months, the company has secured crucial Infosec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessments locally, enabling it to deploy government-grade, cloud-based security solutions to Australian government and critical infrastructure clients.
