DUBAI, June 16, 2025 — Genetec Inc. (“Genetec”), the global leader in enterprise physical security software, today announced new updates to Security Center SaaS, the company’s enterprise-grade Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution. Since its launch, Genetec has delivered new features to the platform every 12 days, ensuring a flexible, open SaaS solution that continuously evolves to meet modern security needs.
Comprehensive Security in a Single Platform
Security Center SaaS combines video surveillance, access control, forensic search, intrusion monitoring, automation, and other advanced capabilities in a single solution. Designed to run fully in the cloud or in a hybrid deployment, it allows organizations to choose how they manage and scale their security infrastructure.
The latest updates include:
- Expanded support for direct-to-cloud cameras
- Improved edge recording capabilities
- New third-party analytics integrations
These enhancements reinforce the platform’s pace of innovation and commitment to customer choice.
Open Architecture for Maximum Flexibility
Unlike proprietary SaaS solutions, Security Center SaaS enables security professionals and channel partners to choose the best hardware for their needs without vendor lock-in. Its open architecture supports devices from Axis, Bosch, and i-PRO, including:
- Direct-to-cloud cameras
- PTZ and fisheye cameras (now with automatic de-warping)
Organizations can also connect non-cloud-ready access control devices, cameras, and intrusion panels using Genetec appliances, avoiding costly hardware replacements.
