Genetec Inc. has announced that 40 Leadenhall has deployed Genetec Security Center and Genetec Mission Control.
According to Genetec, this deployment will create a modern experience for visitors and tenants.
40 Leadenhall
Located in London’s insurance district, 40 Leadenhall is one of the city’s biggest developments ever to receive planning permission.
It spans over 900,000 square feet of commercial office, amenities and retail space, serving up to 10,000 occupants.
The smart building solution incorporates over 200 cameras, more than 250 doors and 2,600 data points, all managed through Genetec Security Center and hosted on Genetec Streamvault servers and archives.
Genetec Mission Control further enhances operations by standardising incident response with advanced automation.
By integrating with other building systems, Genetec said that it can automatically trigger workflows in response to events such as power loss, water leaks or high winds, enabling teams to respond proactively with timely notifications and targeted actions to help ensure occupant safety.
Access control and visitor experience technologies from partners, including HID Global, Mercury Communications and STid, enable seamless navigation throughout the facility.
Occupiers can use mobile wallet credentials for frictionless entry, while visitors receive QR‑code passes that remove the need for temporary plastic cards.
Integrated cameras from Axis Communications enhance situational awareness across the site.
Genetec workstations located throughout the building provide role‑based access for operators.
Reception staff can enroll visitors, while control-room security teams can run reports, investigate events and monitor live video on either dedicated workstations or tablets.
“A standout example”
Viet Tang, Account Executive at Genetec commented: “Genetec is proud to be safeguarding a growing portfolio of flagship buildings across the City of London – including some of its newest and largest developments.
“40 Leadenhall is a standout example of how forward‑thinking property owners are embracing unified, intelligent security to deliver safer, more efficient and more intuitive environments.”
“World-class service”
Stewart Maynard, Smart Systems Manager at 40 Leadenhall said: “The Genetec security system is easy to use and enables us to deliver a world-class service to our occupiers and guests, ensuring occupant wellbeing and building security.
“Collaboration between delivery, systems and service partner teams has helped make 40 Leadenhall a truly smart building.”
“We believe Genetec provides the ideal platform to support 40 Leadenhall’s future growth and technology goals.
“The investment in leading technology, supported by strong partnerships, positions 40 Leadenhall at the forefront of innovation,” Maynard concluded.
Enhancements
Genetec said that by uploading interactive floor plans into Security Center, operators can quickly identify devices, investigate activity or access live video with a single click, significantly reducing training times.
The building’s digital experience is further enhanced through integration with the 40 Leadenhall app, powered by VTS Activate.
Occupiers can issue virtual visitor passes, receive arrival notifications and seamlessly access amenities including wellness spaces, cycle facilities and the Peloton studio.
