Enhance Your Genetec System with These Solutions
The Genetec Security Center platform is at the heart of this unified approach, simplifying security operations, enhancing team collaboration, and supporting public safety initiatives. By bringing together video surveillance, access control, and license plate recognition into a single, intuitive interface, Genetec enables organizations to gain valuable insights and respond to threats with confidence.
Genetec Security Solution #1: Genetec Clearance
Digital Evidence Management
With the proliferation of surveillance video from affordable security cameras, body cams, and mobile devices comes a growing need to manage large amounts of digital evidence. But what good is all this data if it takes too long or is too costly to share or receive, which means it may not even get used?
Evidence can be overlooked due to the sheer amount of time and attention it takes to manage and review files. And with increasing amounts of evidence, there is also a higher risk of mishandling—a risk made worse by the reliance on outdated methods like transferring files via USB drives or CDs. Mishandling can result in lost court cases, compromised security, and criminals going free. Users can efficiently search, playback, and report on evidence within the system, streamlining the review process and improving operational efficiency.
Genetec Clearance, part of Genetec solutions, addresses these challenges by enabling easier, more secure transfer of evidence files—especially large video files. This reliable service supports collaboration between law enforcement agencies, private communities, security departments, and the public, helping organizations close cases faster and meet their goal of protecting people and assets.
Because the program exists in the cloud, the exact same files can be accessed by all stakeholders across multiple sites, ensuring seamless digital transformation. From a business and security standpoint, the ability to transfer, manage, and organize evidence saves time, labor, and money while delivering actionable insights.
Any type of file can be uploaded into the system, and artificial intelligence tools allow faces of innocents to be redacted or unredacted. Reporting features allow users to track evidence by date for better case oversight and documentation. With strategies tailored to fit each organization, Clearance helps teams create a secure and trusted approach to case management.
“The whole purpose of this tool is case management, and the program has many functions to aid that purpose for any organization in a customized way,” said Dustin Graybill, Senior Systems Engineer of Prime.
Genetec Security Solution #2: Genetec Mission Control
Collaborative Decision Management
Previously, handling a security event was a cumbersome process involving verifying a situation in person, walking to and locking every door listed on paper or in a computer, and placing separate calls to first responders, organization leaders, and affected departments. This outdated way of working was time-consuming and often unreliable, leaving room for human error.
Genetec Mission Control, part of Genetec solutions, enhances organizational security by using technology to automate data collection and responses, leveraging security sensors, cameras, and existing systems. The platform provides actionable insights through map-style visualization and pre-loaded protocols, creating a comprehensive overview for security and operations teams. Operators benefit from streamlined workflows and intuitive interfaces, which improve efficiency and make managing security tasks more straightforward. This digital transformation gives organizations the power to make decisions faster and more effectively.
Mission Control also supports on-site responders by reducing stress-induced mistakes with clear, step-by-step guidance for manual interventions. With a tailored approach, a trusted service partner like Prime Secured can work with clients to create strategies that fit their unique business needs and ensure secure operations. Mission Control can also run on various workstations or devices, providing flexibility in how security operations are m
Genetec Security Solution #3: Genetec ClearID
Physical Identity and Access Management
In environments with high foot traffic such as commercial, educational, entertainment, or healthcare venues, managing security and ensuring efficient movement can be a challenge—especially when roles change and access permissions need quick adjustments.
Genetec ClearID, integrated with Security Center Synergis™, simplifies this process through cloud-based physical identity and access management (PIAM). This reliable system empowers organizations to manage access seamlessly, enforce protocols, and provide insights that improve both security and user experience. Staff and authorized people can use self-service options on devices, saving time and reducing manual workload.
ClearID supports both private and public communities by ensuring smooth, secure movement while protecting sensitive data. With its flexible strategies and tailored approach, it helps organizations meet their goal of safeguarding people, streamlining work, and building trust across their teams.

For example: If you visit a workplace using ClearID you sent an email enabling you to print a badge at a kiosk upon arrival. This badge will restrict your access to certain areas automatically, removing the manual effort and reducing errors.
Genetec Security Solution #4: Genetec AutoVu
Automatic License Plate Recognition
Surveillance cameras revolutionized the security industry. Now, if you steal something from a store, your image is likely going to be captured and can be used to prosecute you – IF they find you. Genetec’s AutoVu automatic license plate recognition (APLR) tool completes the loop by providing solid evidence for identifying offenders in various scenarios. While cameras capture images, ALPR at strategic locations like chokepoints can provide crucial license plate data, offering more concrete evidence than just facial images. This system not only notifies security immediately but also captures photos with contextual details to aid law enforcement.
AutoVu is utilized in both static and mobile setups by law enforcement for tasks ranging from parking enforcement to solving serious crimes like abductions. It’s also applied in schools to detect potential threats and automate access in facilities like distribution centers, streamlining entry for authorized vehicles. Even casinos use it to recognize VIP guests for premium service.
Genetec Security Solution #5: Genetec Plan Manager
Map-Based Command and Control
In addition to improving security overall, this system can reduce labor, sometimes to the point of being able to eliminate a position.
It’s much more effective to adapt security tools to your operation than the other way around. Plan Manager is a Genetec Security Center module that can be adapted to your operation in a very visual and intuitive manner, which can save time and give security professionals a better understanding of any situation. Plan Manager brings together data, images and notifications from many parts of the system. Operators can access Plan Manager from any workstation for real-time monitoring and reporting. The result is faster, better responses to keep everyone and everything more secure.
In addition, Plan Manager allows your system to capture and save situational data to aid in investigations. “You can input floorplans, maps, Google Maps images, large site plans and every component of your system into this software to more easily and more comprehensively manage the entire system,” Graybill said. A traditional monitoring system puts images and notifications into tiled squares, which can be difficult to understand and act on.
The technology is helpful not only for security events but for day-to-day monitoring. Graybill describes a Prime customer that has a facility with 100 doors—50 on each side of the building. Plan Manager allows staff to simply look at the map, instantly see the status of all doors in one image, identify open doors, and then send someone out to close them. The system is sophisticated enough to identify false alarms. As organizations grow, Plan Manager can scale to meet increased demand for monitoring and data management.
Video Analytics and Surveillance Access Control
Modern security demands more than just cameras and locks—it requires actionable intelligence and seamless integration. That’s where video analytics and surveillance access control come into play. Genetec Security Center leverages advanced video analytics to provide organizations with valuable insights into everything from customer behavior to potential security threats.
With features like people counting, object detection, and license plate recognition, Genetec Security Center enables security teams to monitor activity in real time and respond proactively to incidents. By integrating these analytics with access control systems, organizations can automatically trigger alerts, restrict access to sensitive areas, and track the movement of employees and visitors throughout their premises.
This unified approach not only enhances security but also streamlines operations. Security personnel can focus on high-priority tasks, relying on the system’s analytics to flag unusual activity or potential threats. The result is a more efficient, effective, and proactive security strategy that reduces the risk of breaches and improves overall safety.
By harnessing the power of video analytics and access control, organizations can optimize their security operations, minimize manual monitoring, and ensure that every corner of their facility is protected. Genetec’s platform makes it easy to create a comprehensive security solution that adapts to your organization’s unique needs, delivering both peace of mind and operational excellence.
