Genetec has announced new updates to Security Center SaaS, the company’s Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution.
The company states that since its launch, it 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
Security Center SaaS combines video surveillance, access control, forensic search, intrusion monitoring, automation and other advanced capabilities in a single solution.
According to the company, the platform is designed to run fully in the cloud or in a hybrid deployment that can include on-premises systems, it gives organisations 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.
Integration
Genetec highlights that 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).
Organisations can connect their current non-cloud-ready access control devices, cameras and intrusion panels using Genetec appliances, avoiding the costs of replacing existing hardware.
The flexibility further extends to deployment models.
According to the company, Security Center SaaS gives organisations full control over their cloud migration, supporting cloud-native, on-premises infrastructure or a combination of both.
Recording and storage
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.
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.
Multi-site environments
Genetec notes that the 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, the company adds.
“Build, scale and evolve”
Christian Morin, Vice President of Product Engineering, Genetec commented: “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.”
Morin concluded: “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.”
