Cyber security standards
Genetec Security Centre SaaS is a unified physical security as a service key with cyber security
Genetec Security Centre SaaS is an enterprise-grade unified physical security as a service solution with the highest cyber security standards.
It is built on a hybrid-cloud, open architecture to give organisations the freedom to choose the devices and cameras that work best for their businesses and the ability to continue support of on-premise deployments while incrementally migrating to cloud. It offers massive scalability, flexibility, and ease of deployment and operations.
Benefits from visual intelligence capabilities
Bosch cameras feature Intelligent Video Analytics Pro (IVA Pro) to accurately detect and classify objects based on specific goals. The intelligent cameras serve as the foundation for solutions that help secure perimeters, elevate safety for building occupants, and capture data for decision-making.
With support for IVA Pro offerings from Bosch, Genetec customers can benefit from the latest in visual intelligence capabilities. These offerings include edge-based visual firearm detection. When someone brandishing a firearm approaches a location, the video analytics is designed to promptly alert personnel, who can verify the firearm and take proactive measures.
Integration for the latest Bosch cameras
Bosch cameras capture clear metadata about objects in a scene, including object type, speed, colour, and more
Bosch cameras also capture detailed metadata about objects in a scene, including object type, speed, colour, and more. This advanced level of captured data enables more granular searches using the Genetec natural language forensic search. Operators can easily scan the metadata recorded alongside video from Bosch cameras to quickly locate relevant video evidence of an event, increasing efficiency to speed investigation workflows.
Camera configuration and video viewing with Security Centre SaaS is also possible with the new direct-to-cloud integration for the latest Bosch cameras, including the new Flexidome 8100i, the 3100i, 5100i and 7100i series. By eliminating the need for on-site servers, direct-to-cloud integration reduces costs associated with the installation and maintenance of hardware for a more cost-effective investment for customers.
