Automating Physical Security Events with Genetec Security Center

Genetec Security Center’s automation features enhance security in warehousing & distribution by providing a sophisticated, integrated approach to video surveillance, access control, and incident response. Here’s how:

  • Automated Surveillance & Real-Time Alerts: The system uses video analytics to perform motion detection, object tracking, and perimeter intrusion detection. It analyses video streams in real-time to identify potential security threats or unusual activities. For example, when an unauthorised person enters a restricted area, the system detects and immediately alerts security personnel. This prompt response plays a crucial role in preventing theft and addressing security breaches as they happen.

  • Integrated Access Control: Genetec Security Center automates access management, ensuring that only authorized personnel can enter certain areas of the distribution center. The system can integrate with existing employee databases, automating the process of granting or revoking access rights based on employee status or time of day. This reduces the risk of internal theft and enhances overall security by controlling who has access to sensitive areas.

  • License Plate Recognition (LPR): LPR can automate entry & exit processes. The system recognises pre-registered or whitelisted vehicles, allowing for smooth entry and exit, while keeping an automated log. This feature is particularly useful in monitoring and controlling vehicle access to loading docks and parking areas, ensuring that only authorised vehicles are present.

  • Incident Management & Response: In the event of a security incident the Mission Control module, a comprehensive decision management solution for Security Center, can automate the appropriate response, including:

    comprehensive decision management solution designed to empower warehouse operations with advanced automation in incident management and response protocols.

    Genetec Security Center can automate the appropriate response. For example, if a potential breach is detected, the system can automatically lock down certain areas, direct security personnel to the location, and even integrate with other systems to initiate alarms or public address announcements. This coordinated response is crucial in mitigating risks and resolving incidents quickly.

  • Data Analysis & Reporting: The system collects and analyzes data from various sources, providing valuable insights into security operations. This automated data analysis can identify trends, such as frequent access attempts at a particular entry point, enabling proactive measures to enhance security. Automated reporting also helps in compliance and auditing, providing detailed logs and evidence in case of security incidents.

By automating these critical aspects of security, Genetec Security Center not only enhances the protection of assets and personnel in distribution centers but also improves operational efficiency, allowing security staff to focus on more strategic tasks rather than routine surveillance and access management.

Loss Prevention

Our range includes systems to help protect your:

  • Warehouse – seamlessly monitor & record activity in aisles to identify suspicious behavior before thefts occur.
  • Loading & Unloading Docks – these areas are crucial as they facilitate the movement of goods in and out of the facility, ensuring that operations are smooth, efficient, and adhere to safety guidelines. In case of accidents, disputes, or audits, the recorded footage serves as evidence.
  • Inventory Management – visual evidence supports disputes related to inventory damage, quantity discrepancies, or shipment issues. Use built-in or third-party video analytics applications to count products, identify pallets, and track the movement of goods. Set up virtual lines or zones in the camera’s field of view to trigger alerts when moving products in or out of designated areas. Use heat maps to pinpoint high-traffic areas and optimize the warehouse layout.
  • Perimeter – key features for perimeter surveillance include: Advanced Motion Detection & Line Crossing: cameras have smart motion detection that distinguishes between harmless movements, like trees swaying, and potential threats such as intruders. They also allow users to set virtual boundaries and send alerts when something crosses these lines, alerting security to possible breaches. Thermal Imaging & Low-Light Performance: thermal cameras, perfect for nighttime or low-visibility conditions, detect heat signatures to identify humans, animals, or vehicles. Additionally, our IP cameras offer superior low-light performance and infrared capabilities for clear recordings in dim conditions.
