“Genetec is excited to work with Sensity to support its vision to embed sensors, wireless connectivity, edge storage and data analytics into modern LED lighting fixtures,” said Philippe Ouimette, director of strategic alliances at Genetec. “Genetec and Sensity share a core strategy to develop and deliver innovative and sustainable solutions that can offer cities, airports, shopping malls and municipalities new ways to cooperate and pool security resources.
“Law enforcement and city organizations can become more productive and minimize operational costs by integrating the Genetec security platform with the Sensity light sensory network.”
Omnicast is an IP-based VMS that is part of the Genetec unified Security Center security platform. It supports a wide range of networked cameras, encoders and CCTV equipment, according to Genetec, and can scale to support up to 150,000 cameras.
