G provider of unified security , public safety , operations and business intelligence solutions , has launched its Security Centre SaaS concept .
Billed as built with cybersecurity and privacy at its core , Security Centre SaaS is offered as a massively scalable , open and unified Software-as-a-Service solution ( SaaS ).
Combining access control , video management , forensic search , intrusion monitoring and automation , Genetec Security Centre SaaS is said to usher in a new chapter in the technology evolution of the physical security industry .
“ The physical security industry has not been able to get cloud or software as a service quite right , especially for enterprise customers ,” said Christian Morin , VP of Product Engineering and CSO , Genetec .
“ With Security Centre SaaS , organisations are no longer beholden to proprietary or featurepoor as a service solutions that needlessly force a choice of either all on-prem or all cloud .
“ The enterprise capabilities and open architecture of Security Centre SaaS are designed to enable systems to handle complex workloads where they make the most sense to be deployed . This flexibility addresses a longstanding need of end-users and fills an important gap in the market .”
As deployments become increasingly sophisticated , end-users rely on trusted security professionals to guide them through their transition to cloud and hybrid environments .
To bring this new SaaS solution to the market , Genetec has transformed its entire approach to procurement , deployment and maintenance without compromising the enterprise-grade capabilities for which its solutions are known .
With an automated quoting and ordering process , systems can be fully operational within minutes from when the order is placed .
The brand-new Genetec Portal is designed with ease in mind to quote , order , deploy and manage large deployments so that channel partners can continue growing their business and deliver the technology and ownership options that their end-users demand .
Enterprise-grade experience in the cloud with the ability to centralise the monitoring and management of multiple sites , Security Centre SaaS is pitched as ideally suited to meet the needs of customers in a wide range of verticals – including retail , education , corporate campuses , banking , healthcare and cities .
As designed , it can serve low-density deployments with a handful of direct-to-cloud devices and scale up to thousands of sites and devices with hybrid storage and processing .
Operators can manage operations from a SOC ( Security Operation Centre ) or on the go through robust web and mobile applications .
A seamless evolution to the cloud
Security Centre SaaS is a deploymentagnostic platform that supports a range of configurations .

Based on a hybrid-SaaS architecture , the new solution allows organisations to move components and sites to the cloud based on their needs and requirements using a combination of cloud-native services and cloud-managed appliances , with storage and processing at the Edge .
Because of its open architecture , Security Centre SaaS offers organisations the freedom to choose the devices , cameras and door controllers that work best for their business .
Security Centre SaaS is also intended to connect seamlessly with existing onpremises security devices and infrastructure .
Access control devices and cameras that are not cloud-ready can equally easily be connected to Security Centre SaaS using Genetec edge appliances .
