Scalable video management

A
An intelligent view
of your environment

Working smarter with video while improving your security

shouldn’t mean overloading your network and people.
Adding more security cameras, relying on higher resolution
video, and longer retention lengths put a strain on security
systems. Cyber security risks and privacy concerns make it
even harder.

Security Center Omnicast is a video management system

that gives you the means to effectively protect your people
and assets. Beyond capturing reliable and usable evidence,
it lets you see and understand your environment. It’s one of
the core systems of Genetec Security Center, our unified
security platform.

Whether you’re looking after one site or overseeing

operations in multiple places, Omnicast is open, flexible,
and scalable. It supports the cameras of your choice and
operates seamlessly over your network. Intelligent streaming
and bandwidth optimization bring down networking and
storage costs.

With an uninterrupted view of camera feeds and security

alarms, Omnicast allows operators to rapidly assess and
respond to situations. It gives them powerful search and
reporting tools so they can tackle investigations faster,
whether it’s from their desk or on mobile devices, relieving
the burden on your people and network.
Unify your video surveillance with your
other security systems. By addressing
multiple needs behind a single intuitive
interface, you control all operations.
More importantly, you can instantly
react to situations.
