Genetec is a provider of integrated security systems whose Security Center platform combines video surveillance, access control, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), and other systems into a single interface. Thanks to its open architecture, Genetec enables the creation of scalable, customized security solutions.
Genetec Security Center – a unified security platform
Video surveillance, access control, license plate recognition, communications, and incident management in one environment. squareTec designs and integrates Genetec solutions for large, distributed, and demanding environments.
Genetec Security Center is a physical security management platform that combines various systems and data sources into a single operating environment. It includes video surveillance, access control, automatic number plate recognition, communications, and incident management.
squareTec uses the Genetec platform in projects where the integration of multiple technologies, operation in a distributed environment, and the ability to further expand the system are key. We combine Genetec technologies with the client's existing infrastructure, devices from various manufacturers, and our own software components.
Security Center allows you to combine video surveillance, access control, ALPR, communications, alarms, and other information sources into one environment. The operator uses a single platform instead of switching between independent applications.
The central user interface is Security Desk. In one place, you can monitor events and alarms, access live and recorded video, analyze access activity, and work with information from various systems.
For large organizations, this means the ability to build a common security environment while maintaining a division of locations, users, and areas of responsibility.
One interface, a shared information context
Video, access, vehicles, and events available in a single environment
Security Desk provides a unified interface for the core Security Center systems. Operators can work with live video and recordings, access control events, ALPR data, alarms, and communications without switching between separate applications.
Information from different systems can be analyzed together — for example, camera footage, access control logs, and vehicle license plate reads. This allows you to correlate the data needed to assess a specific event within a single environment.
A single platform for distributed environments
Integrating multiple locations, systems, and data sources
Security Center allows you to build environments that span multiple facilities, devices, and technologies. Thanks to its open architecture, you can integrate existing infrastructure, add new locations, and expand the platform with third-party solutions and custom components.
In our squareTec projects, we leverage these capabilities to create architectures tailored to the specific needs of an organization—from integrating existing systems to complex, multi-site environments.
Omnicast is a video management system (VMS) that is part of the Genetec Security Center platform. It enables the management of camera footage, recordings, and events within the same environment where the other system components operate.
In practice, this allows you to combine video footage with information from access control, ALPR, or other systems integrated with Security Center.
squareTec designs VMS architecture, selects devices, and integrates surveillance with other elements of the security infrastructure.
Synergis - access control
Synergis handles access control within the Genetec environment. It allows you to manage permissions, entry points, and access-related events, with access control information that can be analyzed alongside other data available in Security Center.
In complex environments, the ability to combine information about a person, an entry point, the time of an event, and camera footage is essential.
squareTec integrates the access control system with the rest of the security infrastructure and the client's existing systems.
AutoVu - automatic license plate recognition
AutoVu is the Genetec solution for automatic license plate recognition (ALPR). Data from read license plates can be used in conjunction with information from video surveillance, access control, and other Security Center systems.
This allows for the development of solutions for parking lots, restricted-access facilities, transport infrastructure, urban spaces, and systems requiring vehicle identification and tracking.
squareTec also develops its own solutions utilizing data from ANPR/ALPR systems, including ANPR Dashboard for collecting and analyzing traffic-related data.
Mission Control - from incident to coordinated response
In large security environments, detecting an incident is only the beginning of the process. Genetec Mission Control analyzes information from multiple sources, helps identify incidents requiring attention, and guides the operator through the subsequent stages of the response. The system can also automate selected actions and procedures.
Mission Control allows for, among other things, correlating sequences of events, reducing the number of false alarms, assigning tasks to the appropriate personnel, and documenting the incident handling process.
This is a particularly critical area where the volume of signals from security systems is high, and the operator must quickly distinguish routine events from those requiring a response.
Federation - a single view for multiple locations
Organizations with multiple facilities can use Genetec Federation to centrally monitor independent Security Center systems.
Federation allows you to centralize monitoring, reporting, and alarm management across multiple locations. Depending on the architecture, you can federate systems including video surveillance, access control, ALPR, and other environmental components.
This is a solution for organizations with a distributed structure: networks of facilities, branches, production plants, transport infrastructure, or multiple administrative sites.
squareTec designs the architecture for such environments, taking into account local systems, central management, user access, and data exchange requirements.
Open architecture and integration with existing systems
Genetec Security Center is designed as an open platform that can work with devices and systems from various manufacturers. Genetec also provides SDK tools that allow for the creation of custom integrations and platform extensions.
In squareTec projects, this means the ability to connect Security Center with:
camera systems and devices from various manufacturers,
access control,
ANPR/ALPR systems,
fire alarm systems,
alarm systems,
IoT solutions,
the client's databases and operating systems,
custom software and dedicated applications.
One example is the integration of Genetec Security Center with the SAIK system, for which squareTec developed a custom integration layer enabling the exchange of data and events between the systems.
Dedicated solutions for Genetec
The platform's capabilities can also be extended through custom software components. Genetec provides tools such as the Workspace SDK, which allows for the creation of custom interface elements and the integration of third-party solutions directly into the Security Desk and Config Tool applications.
squareTec leverages these capabilities to build dedicated integrations and components for specific environments.
Examples of our projects include:
POLON Integrator
Integration of the Polon-Alfa fire alarm system with Genetec Security Center.
SAIK Integrator
Integration of the SAIK key management system with Genetec Security Center, including data synchronization, event handling, and linking information with access control.
ANPR Dashboard
Proprietary squareTec software for collecting and analyzing traffic-related data.
Such projects demonstrate the practical application of Genetec as a platform that can be extended with features tailored to the specific needs of an organization.
Security Center SaaS - cloud and hybrid security
Genetec is also developing Security Center SaaS - a cloud-native platform that combines video surveillance, access control, alarm systems, communications, and other security features.
The solution can be deployed in a cloud, hybrid, or on-premises model using existing infrastructure. It also allows you to retain some of your existing devices and gradually scale the environment as your organization's needs evolve.
For organizations with multiple locations, the ability to centrally manage the environment and scale it without having to overhaul the entire infrastructure is essential.
squareTec provides support for architecture selection, integration with existing systems, and the design of environments tailored to your organizational and technical requirements.
