Genetec Inc., a provider of security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions, announced the launch of Genetec Cloudrunner™ Mobile, a companion app for its vehicle-centric investigation system, Genetec Cloudrunner. Designed for law enforcement and security professionals, the app extends Cloudrunner’s investigative capabilities to the field, giving users faster access to critical vehicle data and alerts wherever they are.
Cloudrunner uses automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) and advanced analytics to capture and organize vehicle data. The system gathers information to generate actionable insights, facilitating enhanced data analysis and the identification of critical information. This evidence is stored and managed securely in the cloud, enabling authorized users to search, filter, and correlate relevant data to support investigations.

Built on privacy-by-design principles, Cloudrunner ensures that all vehicle information is encrypted, access-controlled, and retained according to organizational policies, allowing users to maintain full ownership and control of their data.
With Cloudrunner Mobile, users can securely log in using biometric authentication to run vehicle searches, view alerts, and manage hotlists directly from their mobile device. They can filter searches by vehicle characteristics such as make, model, color, or plate number, and refine results based on a geographic radius relative to their current location. This geo-localized capability allows users to focus only on nearby cameras or areas of interest, making it easier to refine searches across their network.
Investigators get immediate, personalized hotlist alerts through real-time push notifications, helping them respond quickly to important information while they’re on patrol or investigating an incident. When they’re off duty, users can pause these notifications, and any recent activity will be saved for later in the app’s alerts tab.
“Cloudrunner Mobile delivers the speed and intelligence of Cloudrunner directly to personnel in the field,” said Larry Legere, Commercial Director, Genetec Cloudrunner. “It provides users with secure, real-time access to reliable vehicle intelligence enabling prompt action as information becomes available. By extending Cloudrunner’s reach beyond the control room, investigators efficiently advance cases and enhance community safety, all while retaining complete control over their data.”

“The push notifications give us everything we need at a glance – plate number, state, and hotlist category so that we can act faster and stay focused on what matters most,” said Captain Craig Kreiling of the Hopkins, Minnesota Police Department, one of the early adopters of Cloudrunner Mobile.
Cloudrunner Mobile can be downloaded through the App Store and Google Play and is now available to existing Genetec Cloudrunner customers in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
