Enhancing Genetec Security Solutions with Axis Forensic Search and Axis Visitor Entry
As organizations seek smarter, more efficient security solutions, Axis Communications has developed two standalone integrations specifically designed to enhance Genetec Security Center and Genetec Synergis™ access control systems. These solutions, Axis Forensic Search for Genetec and Axis Visitor Entry for Genetec, provide advanced investigative capabilities and streamlined visitor access management, enhancing incident response, security operations, and visitor management.
Axis Forensic Search for Genetec: Accelerating Investigations with AI-Powered Metadata Search
What is Axis Forensic Search for Genetec?
Axis Forensic Search for Genetec is a powerful metadata-driven search tool that enhances forensic investigations by allowing security teams to quickly locate people, vehicles, or objects of interest without the need for dedicated analytics servers. By leveraging Axis cameras with built-in AI-powered metadata generation, this solution significantly reduces the time needed to analyze security footage, making it faster, more efficient, and more cost-effective compared to traditional forensic search methods.
Key Benefits of Axis Forensic Search for Genetec
- Faster Investigations – Reduces video analysis time from hours to minutes using intelligent object classification.
- No Additional Analytics Servers Required – Metadata is generated directly within Axis cameras, reducing hardware costs.
- Advanced Search Capabilities – Search based on object classification, attributes (color, shape, size), movement tracking, and speed.
- Visual Data Representation – Graphs and charts help security teams understand patterns and detect anomalies.
- Efficient Case Management – Easily extract, manage, and share evidence securely with investigators, prosecutors, or internal teams.
How It Works
Axis Forensic Search integrates directly into Genetec Security Center, allowing users to conduct searches based on:
- Object Classification – Identify specific types of vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles) or objects.
- Object Attributes – Locate specific colors, sizes, or shapes of objects.
- Motion Tracking – Identify movement paths, entry/exit points, and relative speed of moving objects.
- Time & Location-Based Filtering – Pinpoint events based on exact location, time, and duration.
This streamlined, metadata-driven approach enhances security investigations by eliminating the need for manual video review, providing actionable intelligence within minutes.
Axis Visitor Entry for Genetec: Secure and Convenient QR Code-Based Access Control
What is Axis Visitor Entry for Genetec?
Axis Visitor Entry for Genetec is a QR code-based visitor access management solution that simplifies and secures the way businesses, government facilities, and critical infrastructure sites manage guest and temporary access credentials. Unlike traditional badge-based systems, this digital solution enables quick, contactless, and controlled access, improving security and operational efficiency.
Key Benefits of Axis Visitor Entry for Genetec
- Seamless QR Code-Based Entry – Eliminates the need for physical access badges, reducing printing costs and administrative burden.
- Fast and Secure Access Control – Automatically grants or denies entry based on pre-approved credentials stored in Genetec Synergis™.
- Remote Credential Distribution – QR codes can be generated and sent via email to visitors before their arrival.
- Contactless and Efficient – Enhances security while reducing touchpoints at entry points.
- Fully Integrated with Axis and Genetec – Works with Axis intercoms, fixed cameras, and modular cameras embedded with Axis Barcode Reader.
- Supports Multiple Credential Types – Accepts cards, PINs, QR codes, and license plates for greater flexibility and security.
How It Works
- QR Code Generation & Distribution
- Security operators register visitors and create time-restricted QR codes directly within Genetec Synergis™.
- The visitor receives their QR code via email before arriving.
- Seamless Visitor Entry
- Upon arrival, visitors present their QR code to an Axis intercom or camera with the Axis Barcode Reader.
- The system validates the credential via the Axis A1601 Network Door Controller or Genetec Synergis™.
- If authorized, the door automatically unlocks for entry.
- Centralized Access Management
- Security teams can monitor all entry events in real-time within Genetec Synergis™.
- The system logs all access attempts, providing an audit trail for security teams.
Why Businesses Are Adopting QR Code-Based Access Control
- Eliminates Manual Badge Handling – Reduces administrative workload and costs associated with physical access cards.
- Enhances Security for Visitors & Contractors – QR codes expire automatically after their designated time window.
- Improves Guest Experience – Visitors enjoy fast, seamless entry without needing to check in manually.
- Ideal for High-Security Facilities – Ensures only authorized personnel gain access to sensitive locations.
Why These Axis Solutions Are Essential for Genetec Users
Both Axis Forensic Search for Genetec and Axis Visitor Entry for Genetec offer cutting-edge enhancements that improve the way Genetec Security Center and Genetec Synergis™ operate.
These purpose-built integrations provide:
✅ Faster, More Accurate Investigations – Reduce forensic search times with metadata-driven AI analytics.
✅ Seamless, Contactless Visitor Access – QR code-based entry enhances security and visitor management.
✅ Reduced Operational Costs – Eliminates costly manual processes for security teams.
