i-PRO announces support for Genetec Security Centre SaaS

i-PRO Co., Ltd. (formerly Panasonic Security), a global pioneer in professional security solutions for surveillance and public safety, announced support for Genetec™ Security Centre SaaS. 

i-PRO will enable Security Centre SaaS support in its new edge AI-enabled cameras while also releasing an app for existing cameras in the field at no cost. Users of AI-enabled i-PRO cameras will be able to simply install an application on the camera to give direct access to Genetec Security Centre SaaS.

AI-enabled camera models

“Genetec has taken a bold step forward in providing customers with unprecedented flexibility and scale,” said Hiroshi (Huey) Sekiguchi, CMO, i-PRO Co., Ltd.

“At i-PRO our goal is to offer a wide range of new and existing AI-enabled camera models for customers to choose from when connecting to Security Centre SaaS. Most importantly, we want our customers to be able to leverage their existing i-PRO camera investment when taking advantage of this important new SaaS solution.”

Physical security solution

Genetec Security Centre SaaS is a highly scalable, enterprise-grade unified physical security solution

Genetec Security Centre SaaS is a highly scalable, enterprise-grade unified physical security solution that is offered as a service and deployed on a hybrid-cloud architecture. It offers ease of deployment and the flexibility for organisations to choose the devices and cameras that work best for their business.

“Security Centre SaaS was designed to deliver flexibility and scalability through an open platform approach,” said Andrew Elvish, Vice President, Marketing, Genetec Inc. “i-PRO shares the same core values which makes our combined solution that much more valuable to our shared customers.”

Third-party analytic applications

i-PRO AI cameras can deliver 98 different metadata attributes, including unique descriptions such as the colour of shoes and bags carried or whether a person has a beard or not. The cameras also support various third-party analytic applications including video and sound to provide operators with unprecedented “event alarm” capabilities for both people and vehicles.

By focusing on an application-based approach, the intent is to not require existing customers to buy new i-PRO cameras to support Security Centre SaaS.
