Integration with the Genetec dashboard barox’s network management Genetec integration provides flexibility and extended network diagnostics, as well as full access to all barox SNMP traps within Genetec Security Centre, offering a single unified user interface. barox’s seamless integration with the Genetec dashboard provides full visualisation and diagnostic reporting of real-time events. This capability, combined with advanced network management features, sets barox apart from other switch manufacturers. barox DMS and energy management tools Genetec has designated Custom Intelligent Security as a Unified Elite Partner for the installation and support The data-rich barox DMS and energy management tools available are particularly valuable in helping companies achieve their Net Zero targets.  In addition, recognising the strength of their collaboration, Genetec has designated Custom Intelligent Security as a Unified Elite Partner for the installation and support of its Security Centre Platform. Improving reliability, sustainability, and cybersecurity “Quality of supply chain is very important to us, and barox’s extensive ‘off the shelf’ stock holding means that we can place orders with confidence,” says Bruno. “Their ISO 9001, 14001, and 27001 certifications, along with Cyber Allianz membership, reflect a strong service and support culture.” “Supporting our ethos of sustainable operations, barox's solutions align closely with Custom Intelligent Security's goals by enabling remote diagnostics and issue resolution. Utilising their advanced network management technology helps us to minimise environmental impact too." "The barox DMS enables us to work effectively, and in instances where device or network issues can be resolved through software, we can solve issues without the need to send an engineer to site, reducing the need for on-site interventions. This decreases our environmental impact, where we strive to operate as a ‘remote first’ company, using barox advanced technology to identify and resolve device and network issues remotely.” barox Ethernet switch integration Enhanced diagnostic data showing the status of cameras and switches on a graphical chart With barox Ethernet switch integration, enhanced diagnostic data showing the status of cameras and switches on a graphical chart, enables the fast pinpointing of network or device issues - enabling faults and outages to be diagnosed remotely. For example, if a network camera fails to respond, barox switches can be used to autonomously send a re-boot command, saving invaluable device downtime and in many cases can bring a device back online/resolve the issue with no engineer involvement.  Video surveillance networks In the case of a security breach, devices can be disabled at the user level to maintain operation, whilst full remote control of PoE on ports allows Custom Intelligent Security to re-set or switch them off if required.  This advanced capability has proven to be an invaluable asset and quite literally, ‘game-changing’ for Custom Intelligent Security in the management of their high security video surveillance networks. Key areas of access control In the case of a security breach, devices can be disabled at the user level to maintain operation “barox integration delivers strengthened cyber security between the camera, and command and control platform - including authentication certificate login,” Bruno continues. “This, combined with integration to Genetec Security Centre underpins our ability to create high quality security solutions, with our core offering built around the key areas of access control, CCTV, intruder alarms and systems integration." Genetec software support licence Bruno added: “Developed in reaction to the impact of the Covid pandemic, we devised a greatly enhanced ‘E-Service’, utilising notifications to conduct remote updates including antivirus updates and windows patching. Supporting our clients with a wraparound service, with our Software Support Maintenance Agreement, we’re committed to updating our clients’ software." "For example, for those operating a Genetec software support licence, we vigorously maintain up to date performance and protection - to prevent vulnerabilities occurring.” Hands-on experience Custom Intelligent Security will see the barox range represented and experience the full capabilities barox’s inclusion in the new Custom Intelligent Security HQ Experience Centre stems from a deep technical relationship between the businesses, promoting tailored product solutions for deployment in the high security/CNI space - realised with real-time physical demonstrations available for evaluation by Custom Intelligent Security’s end-user customers.
