Genetec will hold its European launch for Stratocast, a new cloud-based video surveillance system at IFSEC 2013 (May 13-16, NEC Birmingham). The company on stand 4-C430 will showcase the latest version of its Security Center, which blends video surveillance (Omnicast), access control (Synergis) and license plate recognition (AutoVu) into a single unified platform; and the new Synergis Master Controller. The Canadian company describes Stratocast as a Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS) solution, for small and midsized businesses, such as quick service restaurants, shops, office buildings, and sporting and musical events.
Visitors to the Genetec will see first hand how Stratocast can provide functionalities such as native HD video support for picture quality, automated alerts that notify users of system activity, and the Cloud Federation feature which allows enterprise users to add cameras to remote locations while centralising monitoring within their existing Security Center operations. With a guaranteed uninterrupted service 99.5pc of the time, and a modern interface, users will be able to access live and recorded video from their Stratocast system on their computer, smartphone or tablet, from anywhere.
Genetec will also showcase the latest version of its security platform, Security Center, that will introduce new threat level management that allows users to respond to changing security conditions in real-time; remote workstation control and software video walls to facilitate collaboration; camera blocking to further protect privacy; integration of the HID next-generation Edge and VertX EVO access control products lines, and integrations with several other partners.
Visitors will also be able to see the newly available Synergis Master Controller (SMC). The SMC is an IP-enabled intelligent door controller designed to address longstanding customer demand for non-proprietary access control solutions. To achieve this, the SMC offers native support of non-proprietary access control hardware from leading vendors such as HID Global and Mercury Security. Through the SMC, users will also be able to easily migrate to an IP-based access control solution while using existing equipment and wiring.
