FEATURE: PHYSICAL SECURITY, POWERED BY GENETEC
///////////////////////////////////////////////////
Genetec explains how
unification can achieve
seamless and comprehensive
physical security, to present
unified threat level
management. The company
tells us about the benefits
of unified physical security
systems and why they
are better than
integrated solutions.
GENETEC is holding a three-
day digital conference between April
20 and April 22 to connect physical
security professionals from around the
world directly to Genetec experts and
industry leaders.
The agenda for Genetec Connect’DX
includes sessions on key trends and new
technology; keynotes from industry
leaders, including Pierre Racz, Genetec
President; Genetec product demos and
Q&As with the product team.
There will also be panel discussions
on industry topics including privacy,
cybersecurity and cloud, as well as free
training sessions from the company’s
training department.

A
dvances in IP technology
have greatly improved
physical security solutions
over the last few years.
While the industry has
worked to develop a variety of methods to
bring the different components of modern
security environments like video, access
control, automatic licence plate recognition,
communications, intrusion and analytics
together via integration, the result often
remains a set of disparate systems with
limited communication and interoperability
among them.
Unification is the superior method of
achieving seamless, comprehensive physical
security. True unification takes stand-alone
components of a security environment
as well as plug-ins beyond just being
connected. A unified system provides one
platform, built from the ground up, to work
harmoniously together.
A unified physical security solution maximises
usage of the infrastructure, makes upgrades
seamless and presents unified threat level
management. Plus, training is simplified as
there is just one system and one interface
to learn. Support and maintenance are also
more efficient, with one point of contact
to find the root cause of issues and ensure
compatibility between versions.
In this article, we emphasise the benefits of
unified physical security systems and why
they are better than integrated solutions.
Unified security solutions are
more efficient, flexible and
offer much more than security
Physical security is – or should be – at the
core of any business operation. In order to
focus on production, sales and ultimately
success, organisations have to provide a safe
and secure environment for employees and
visitors. Video surveillance, access control,
intrusion detection, communications, licence
plate recognition and analytics are all key
components of a modern security solution.
When they work together properly in a
unified way, they can not only secure a
business but yield actionable business
intelligence that can be leveraged and
combined with operational data to help
improve efficiency.
When selecting a security product to protect
a business, you are not only investing in a
system that works now but a solution that
will be able to change with the needs of your
business moving forward.
