Genetec Security Center SaaS offers faster, smarter investigations

Genetec has announced intelligent automation (IA)-powered investigation capabilities in Security Center SaaS to help operators quickly locate video evidence, understand the context surrounding an event, and close cases faster.

For many organisations, investigations still involve hours of scrubbing through video and switching between systems. The latest capabilities in Security Center SaaS are designed to centralise investigation workflows into a modern, intuitive interface where operators search for people or vehicles in live or recorded footage using natural language and advanced filters.

Results are automatically enriched with contextual insights such as nearby activity, information about what happened before and after an incident, or locating people with similar appearances. These capabilities make it easier for any operator to know which camera feed to review, rather than spending extra time trying to track down the right footage across a large deployment or switch between multiple tools to piece together an incident.

Built on an open architecture, Security Center SaaS works with a large ecosystem of cameras and devices, which gives organisations the freedom to choose the hardware that fits their needs, without being tied to a single vendor. By tapping into the rich metadata generated by various makes and models of cameras, operators can use the system’s advanced search capabilities to quickly surface more accurate and contextual information.

“Security professionals are often under pressure to quickly analyse large volumes of video and data, especially following critical incidents,” said Jonathan Doyon, Senior Product Group Director at Genetec. “Our new intelligent search gives investigation teams a faster, more intuitive way to find relevant evidence, piece together timelines, and securely share results, all from a single, unified interface.

“With the new investigation capabilities in Security Center SaaS, we’re delivering a unified, context-aware investigation experience where operators can quickly understand what happened and act with confidence. This is the kind of innovation security teams have been asking for, and this is only the beginning.”
