Genetec, the unified IP security solutions provider has launched the latest version of ‘Security Center’, the company’s open architecture, unified IP security platform that combines access control, video surveillance, ALPR, and communications
According to the company, Security Center 5.5 offers a new disaster recovery mode, enhanced levels of authentication and encryption, augmented video archiving and export management capabilities, and new choices of supported access control hardware. With innovative capabilities designed to help organisations better secure their sites, the new version 5.5 is aimed at giving administrators greater control and protection of their security infrastructure.
The new version comes with a new disaster recovery mode that allows the configuration of multiple failover directory servers at remote sites. According to Genetec, this allows customers to implement more elaborate disaster recovery plans for their security platform. In the event of a disaster, failover servers at geographically disparate location are programmed to immediately take control and ensure that organisations have access to their security platform and protect their people and assets.
The latest release also offers enhanced map-centric monitoring with fluid map scaling for zooming effortlessly in and out of maps along with the option to geo-reference dynamic objects on a map with actual geographic coordinates. It also facilitates map layering, where operators can add or remove details from a map in real-time to narrow or broaden visualisation of a site.
Security Center 5.5 also features alarm grouping and filtering, allowing operators to group alarms visually by type, state, or priority, as well as handle entire collections of alarms.
