Genetec, a provider of open architecture security and public safety solutions, announces the general availability of its unified security platform Security Center 5.6. Enhancements to the platform include added cybersecurity measures, a new HTML5-based web client, integration of SimonsVoss electronic locks and the Mercury Security MS Bridge.
The platform also can enroll license plates as access control credentials with the AutoVu SharpV camera via automatic license plate recognition (ALPR). The global release means Genetec Advantage subscribers will receive this update as part of the Genetec Lifecycle Management program.
Version 5.6 addresses the changing nature of cyber threats with advanced authentication, authorization and encryption technologies. The Security Center Web Client has also been redesigned with HTML5 to offer users a more fluid and modern web experience. With Genetec Plan Manager, operators can monitor the status of intrusion areas. Additionally, embedded support for Esri ArcGIS software adds rich layers of visual data.

Access Control
Having recently become a Mercury Security Platinum Elite partner, Security Center 5.6 introduces a new integration with the Mercury MS Bridge to help end users migrate from proprietary or ‘integrated’ access control systems to a fully unified security platform. Always expanding its ecosystem of access control hardware partners, Genetec has also integrated the SimonsVoss family of digital locks, and added a technology and distribution partnership with STid, a manufacturer of RFID contactless door readers.
