MONTREAL—Genetec Inc., a global developer of enterprise physical security software, has announced the introduction of advanced mapping functionalities in Genetec Cloudrunner, its vehicle-centric investigative system.
The new Report Map and Device Map features are designed to give law enforcement and security professionals the ability to visualize ALPR (Automatic License Plate Recognition) information in an intuitive map interface to improve their investigative reach and operational efficiency.
“With Cloudrunner’s new mapping tools, law enforcement, security directors, and loss prevention officers can quickly extract meaningful insights and act decisively,” says Larry Legere, commercial director at Genetec Inc. “Whether investigating a crime in a dense urban area or tracking a vehicle of interest across jurisdictions, the new Cloudrunner mapping features provide them with a visual perspective to better understand the situation and plan an appropriate course of action.”
Genetec Cloudrunner Mapping Capabilities Enable Law Enforcement, Business Collaboration
The Canadian company explains that its Device Map feature enables investigators to see all connected Cloudrunner cameras around an investigation site. If users don’t have access to a camera in a key location, Genetec suggests they can easily initiate a third-party partnership request directly from within the map to obtain relevant data. Genetec asserts this seamless process strengthens collaboration between law enforcement agencies, businesses, and security stakeholders, expanding investigative reach and enhancing overall security efforts.
The Report Map feature within the Cloudrunner platform provides an additional way to visualize vehicle-based data. It allows users to narrow down vehicle searches by selecting a geographic area on the map. Investigators can visualize where reads and hits occur, uncover movement patterns, and analyze vehicle behavior such as frequency and travel routes.
Other options include advanced filtering by characteristics like color, make, and partial plate numbers are said to further refines searches, revealing where and how often specific vehicles have been detected. This, the company emphasizes, provides valuable insights, helping investigators determine patterns of movement and potential crime hotspots.
The new mapping features are now available to Genetec Cloudrunner users in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The mapping capabilities are available with no additional costs or setup.
