Genetec Inc., a global leader in enterprise physical security software, has announced new updates to its Genetec Security Center SaaS platform.
The company revealed that since the platform's launch, it has delivered new features every 12 days. This approach ensures a flexible and open SaaS solution tailored to modern security operations.
Genetec Security Center SaaS integrates video surveillance, access control, forensic search, intrusion monitoring, and automation in one solution. It supports cloud-only or hybrid deployments, giving organizations full control over their security infrastructure.
The latest updates include: Expanded support for direct-to-cloud cameras
Enhanced edge recording via SD cards
New third-party analytics integrations
Genetec reported that the platform now supports a wide range of devices, including models from Axis, Bosch, and i-PRO. This includes PTZ and fisheye cameras with automatic de-warping capabilities.
Organizations can also use Genetec appliances to connect non-cloud-ready access control systems, cameras, and intrusion panels. This allows them to retain existing hardware and reduce costs.
Video storage options remain flexible. Users can store video at the edge or in the cloud depending on bandwidth, policies, and operational needs. Centralized management is possible through both web and mobile applications.
With built-in support for WebRTC, the platform allows direct peer-to-peer video streaming from cameras to the web interface. This feature reduces video load times and bandwidth usage ideal for live monitoring and large deployments.
Genetec emphasized that the Security Center SaaS simplifies operations across industries such as retail, education, banking, healthcare, and urban infrastructure. Operators can manage security systems from a central SOC or remotely.
Real-time alerts help teams respond swiftly. Additionally, open architecture enables integration with partner technologies. One example is new firearm detection analytics from Bosch, which can trigger alerts and activate workflows upon weapon identification.
Christian Morin, Vice President of Product Engineering at Genetec, stated, 'Genetec is redefining what SaaS means for physical security. It's not just about moving to the cloud it's about flexibility to build, scale, and evolve systems.'
He added that Genetec Security Center stands out by unifying physical security in one platform while continuing to support existing hardware and deployment models.
