Genetec Inc., a enterprise physical security software, has announced new updates to its Security Center SaaS platform. This enterprise-grade Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution continues to evolve rapidly.

Since launch, Genetec has delivered new features to the platform every 12 days. This consistent pace supports a flexible, open SaaS solution that meets the needs of modern security operations.

Security Center SaaS integrates video surveillance, access control, forensic search, intrusion monitoring, automation, and more in a single platform. It is designed for full cloud deployment or a hybrid model that includes on-premises systems.

The company revealed that the latest updates enhance support for direct-to-cloud cameras. They also improve edge recording features and introduce new third-party analytics integrations.

Genetec reported that, unlike proprietary platforms, Security Center SaaS allows users to select hardware from various vendors. It supports devices from Axis, Bosch, and i-PRO, including PTZ and fisheye cameras with automatic de-warping.

Organizations can use Genetec appliances to connect legacy devices like non-cloud-ready cameras, access control units, and intrusion panels. This avoids the need for costly hardware replacements.

Moreover, the platform supports diverse deployment models. Users can manage cloud-native systems, on-prem infrastructure, or a mix of both.

Video storage is flexible. Depending on bandwidth or policy, video can be saved at the edge or in the cloud. Centralized management is available via web and mobile apps.

The update adds new SD card edge recording, enabling local storage on cameras. Recording profiles help define how and where video is captured across devices.

Additionally, Genetec confirmed that Security Center SaaS now includes built-in support for WebRTC. This enables direct video streaming from cameras to a web interface, improving video call-up speed and reducing bandwidth usage.

This makes the platform ideal for live monitoring and spot checks. No additional configuration is needed.

• The platform simplifies management of multi-site operations in sectors like retail, education, banking, healthcare, and city infrastructure.
• Real-time alerts enable faster responses, while open architecture supports easy integration with partner technologies.

One example is the new firearm detection analytics from Bosch. These can trigger immediate alerts and initiate workflows when a weapon is identified.

Christian Morin, Vice President of Product Engineering at Genetec, stated that the company is redefining what SaaS means for physical security.

“It’s not just about moving to the cloud,” he said. “It’s about giving customers and integrators the flexibility to build, scale, and evolve their systems.”

Genetec emphasized that Security Center SaaS unifies physical security tools in one platform. It continues to expand with new cloud-native capabilities while supporting existing hardware and deployments.
