Genetec Security Center

Genetec’s Threat Level Management Application: Features and Benefits

Genetec’s Threat Level Management application, part of the Security Center platform, is designed to enhance organisational security by allowing rapid and dynamic responses to changing security conditions. Below is a detailed overview of its key features and benefits.

Features

1. Unified Threat Level Management:
   • When activated, a threat level can quickly alter the behaviour of access control, video surveillance, and intrusion panels.
   • Create multiple threat levels with user-defined names, colour coding, and specific activation/deactivation actions.
2. Customisable Threat Levels:
   • Organisations can create any number of threat levels tailored to their specific needs, allowing for precise and contextual responses to various security situations.
3. Flexible Activation Options:
   • Threat levels can be activated across the entire organisation or limited to specific buildings, floors, or areas. This provides granular control over security measures.
   • Actions are triggered automatically when threat levels are activated or deactivated.
4. Control Over Access Points:
   • Full control over physical entry points is provided, including selective access through access-controlled doors, which is essential for managing who can enter or exit during a threat situation.
   • Requires the Synergis Cloud Link appliance for full functionality.
5. Enhanced Video Surveillance Control:
   • Operators can trigger recording, change resolution, protect recorded video, and set PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera presets, ensuring comprehensive monitoring and documentation during security events.
6. Clear Visual and Audible Notifications:
   • Operators receive immediate visual and audible notifications when a threat level is triggered, enabling prompt and informed responses.

Benefits

1. Proactive Preparation and Rapid Response:
   • The system enables organisations to proactively prepare for various threats and react swiftly to changing security conditions, enhancing overall security and safety.
2. Standardisation of Responses:
   • By standardising responses to potential threats, the application ensures consistent and efficient handling of security incidents, reducing the likelihood of human error and improving overall security management.
3. Comprehensive Security Management:
   • Extends threat management beyond access control to include video surveillance and other security systems, providing a holistic approach to security management.
4. Adaptability to Specific Needs:
   • The fully customisable nature of threat levels allows organisations to tailor the system to their unique security requirements, ensuring the responses are appropriate and effective for their specific context.
5. Enhanced Control and Monitoring:
   • Provides detailed control over who can access certain areas and how surveillance systems operate during a threat, enhancing the ability to secure assets and protect individuals.

Applications

• Government and Critical Infrastructure:
  • Ideal for protecting critical infrastructure and governmental organisations, allowing for proactive preparation and instant response to potential threats.
• Multi-Site and Campus Security:
  • In environments with multiple buildings, the application allows for selective control of access and security measures, enhancing safety across large or complex sites.
• Emergency Response:
  • The application can handle any situation that requires dynamic changes to the security system, such as emergency evacuations or lockdowns, as well as security threats.
