Genetec installer Perth for organisations that want video surveillance, access control and licence plate recognition unified in one platform. We design Security Center deployments, install and integrate the cameras, door hardware and ALPR units, configure the operator workstations, and support the system through its life.
Genetec Security Center is a unified platform rather than a video system with add-ons: Omnicast for video, Synergis for access control and AutoVu for plate recognition share one database, one operator interface and one set of user permissions. For a government building, corporate campus, hospital, university or large strata complex, that means a door forced alarm, the matching camera view and the vehicle that just entered the carpark all land in front of the same operator at the same time.
A Security Center project begins with the architecture: how many directory and archiver servers, where they sit, how sites federate, what the retention policy demands of storage, and how the security network is separated from the corporate one. We design that with your IT team, then do the physical work ourselves: camera and reader installation, door hardware, ALPR mounting and calibration, cabling and PoE, and the workstation and video wall setup for the control room.
Licensing is modular, by camera, door and ALPR unit, with a maintenance agreement that keeps the software current. We quote the licences, hardware and installation together, registered to your organisation.
Sites moving to Security Center usually have a working video system and an older access control platform that no longer talks to it. We stage the migration so nothing stops recording and no door stops working: cameras are brought across in groups, door controllers are swapped or re-pointed one at a time, and credentials are migrated rather than reissued where the format allows.
For existing Security Center sites without an active installer, we audit the version, licences, archiver health and recording gaps, bring the system current, and support it under a commercial maintenance agreement.
Security Center is the right answer when video, doors and plates genuinely need to be one product, or when a specification or tender calls for it. If the requirement is video only across mixed cameras, Milestone XProtect or Nx Witness cost less and are simpler to run. If access control is the core and video is secondary, a dedicated platform such as Gallagher or Inner Range Integriti with an integrated VMS is often the better fit. We install all of these and recommend from the brief, not the brand.
Usually. Omnicast supports cameras from all major manufacturers and Synergis supports a wide range of door controllers and readers. We check every existing model against the Genetec supported device list before quoting and tell you what can stay.
Yes. Federation lets several sites run their own Security Center systems while a central operator sees them all, with permissions controlling who sees what. We design the federation and the network it needs as part of the project.
Fixed AutoVu cameras read plates at entries and exits, match them against permit and hotlist databases, and can open a gate for a permitted vehicle or alert an operator to one that is not. It also gives a searchable record of which vehicles were on site and when.
By module and by connected device: each camera, door and ALPR unit carries a licence, with a software maintenance agreement for updates and support. We include all of it in the quote so the full cost is visible, and register the licences to your organisation.
Often, yes. For a single building with a few dozen cameras and a handful of doors, a lighter VMS with a separate access control system usually does the job for less. Security Center earns its cost at scale, in tendered projects, and where unified operations matter. We will say which applies to your site.
Number of sites, cameras and doors, whether plate recognition is in scope, what exists today, and any specification or tender document. We will design the Security Center architecture and quote the licences, hardware and installation together.
