Genetec Security Center

Unified physical security platform

Genetec Security Center is a unified, enterprise-grade security platform developed by Genetec Inc. It combines video management, access control, automatic license plate recognition (ALPR), intrusion monitoring, and security operations within a single integrated environment. The platform includes Omnicast for video surveillance, Synergis for access control, AutoVu for license plate recognition, and Sipelia for communications management. It supports centralized monitoring, alarm management, advanced investigations, automation, and integration with third-party security systems. Security Center suits organizations from single-site facilities to large, geographically distributed enterprises. It provides scalable architecture, federation, high availability and flexible on-premises, cloud and hybrid deployment. Its open integration ecosystem, SDK, and extensive device compatibility make it suitable for complex, mission-critical security environments.

Architecture

Deployment models, system topology and availability features.

Genetec Security Center is built on a scalable, distributed client-server architecture designed for enterprise security operations. The platform supports on-premises and hybrid deployments, with selected cloud-hosted infrastructure options. Security Center SaaS is offered separately as a cloud-native security solution. Security Center Federation lets organizations centrally monitor and manage multiple independent Security Center systems across distributed sites. Each site keeps its local autonomy. High-availability capabilities include server role redundancy, supported database failover configurations and automatic failover for critical services. These capabilities depend on the deployed architecture, software edition, licensing and infrastructure configuration. The platform supports distributed video recording, access control, automatic license plate recognition and communications services across multiple servers and locations.
