Intelligent Video Analytics for Security Center

AerWatch® extends Genetec Security Center by adding an intelligent analytics layer on top of existing video and security infrastructure.

Customers often have large camera networks and access control systems, but still rely heavily on operators to manually identify incidents, review footage and connect events across different systems. AerWatch® helps automate this process by analysing live and recorded video to detect events, identify patterns and surface relevant alerts for operator review.

The integration allows AerWatch® to work with video streams and security events from Genetec Security Center, apply AI analytics, then return actionable outputs such as alerts, event metadata and review workflows back into the operator environment. This helps customers move from passive video monitoring to active, intelligence led security operations.

Together, AerWatch® and Genetec Security Center help customers achieve faster response, stronger situational awareness, reduced manual workload and better use of existing infrastructure.

Critical Infrastructure and Corporate Campuses

Security teams managing corporate campuses, data centres and critical infrastructure need to detect unauthorised access, tailgating and suspicious movement without relying only on manual monitoring. AerWatch® analyses live video and relevant access control events to identify when activity does not match expected behaviour, such as multiple people entering after a single valid access event. The main benefit is faster detection of access breaches and improved response through the existing Genetec Security Center environment.

Airports and Transport

Airports, train networks and transport environments require visibility across high traffic areas, restricted zones and operational spaces. AerWatch® supports people counting, queue monitoring, dwell time analytics, restricted area alerts, object detection and movement based insights using existing camera infrastructure. The main benefit is improved situational awareness across complex environments, helping operators respond faster and manage both safety and operational flow.

Gaming, Venues and Public Safety

Casinos, stadiums, venues and public safety environments need to identify incidents quickly across crowded and dynamic spaces. AerWatch® helps detect behaviours, track activity across camera views, support watchlist based alerts where enabled and reduce the time required to search footage after an incident. The main benefit is faster investigation, better operator focus and stronger incident management through Genetec Security Center.

Features

  • Accurate and AI-powered video analytics seamlessly integrate with existing Security Center camera infrastructure:
  • Delivers real-time alerts for critical events, including intrusion, loitering, tailgating, threshold crossing, FR, PPE, Fall detection and suspicious activities.
  • Enables intelligent search and rapid incident investigation across both live and recorded video feeds.
  • Correlates access control data with video streams to detect unauthorized entries and tailgating incidents.
  • Offers privacy-conscious analytics tools, featuring customizable detection parameters and dynamic masking options.

Benefits

  • Maximizes the value derived from existing Genetec Security Center deployments
  • Lowers the necessity for constant manual monitoring and operator supervision
  • Enhances response times by presenting critical events in real time as they occur
  • Accelerates investigations through streamlined video search and review capabilities
  • Fortifies access control systems by identifying physical movements overlooked by card readers alone
  • Promotes ethical AI utilization via configuration options that prioritize privacy
  • Delivers a highly scalable analytics layer tailored for intricate settings like campuses, airports, transport hubs, government facilities, and casinos
  • Features a modular architecture to provide scenario-specific solutions that achieve the operators' intended outcomes

 

Solution Architecture

Architecture description

Genetec Security Center manages the customer’s video and security operations environment. Cameras and other connected security systems provide live and recorded video into the Security Center. AerWatch® receives relevant video streams and event inputs, applies AI analytics, then generates outputs such as alerts, event metadata, detection results and investigation insights. These outputs can then support operator review and response through the Security Center environment.
