World’s leading biometric authentication, inside Genetec Security Center 

Suprema Plugin enables biometric access control with Suprema face and fingerprint devices, including BioStation 3 Max, BioStation 3, and BioEntry W3, directly within Genetec Security Center. 

• Strengthens identity verification while preserving the existing Genetec workflow. 

• Adds AI-powered face and fingerprint authentication by device model. 

• Reduces reliance on cards and PINs for sensitive or high-risk areas. 

• Enables biometric access without a separate operating environment. 

Sub-second AI-powered access for high-traffic lobbies 

Suprema devices use advanced AI algorithms for fast, accurate authentication in real-world access environments, from premium lobbies to compact door installations. 

• Keeps people moving at busy doors, lobbies, and employee entrances. 

• Supports fast walk-up and walkthrough access experiences. 

• Improves reliability across diverse users, lighting conditions, and facial variations. 

• Balances high-speed authentication with strong identity assurance. 

Spoof-resistant biometric security 

Suprema biometric readers include anti-spoofing technologies such as Live Face Detection and, on supported models, Live Finger Detection to help block fraudulent access attempts. 

• Helps prevent attacks using photos, screens, masks, or fake fingerprints. 

• Adds stronger protection for restricted doors and high-security zones. 

• Improves confidence that access events reflect the authorized user. 

• Supports stronger security policies without slowing daily access. 

Direct biometric enrollment in Security Center 

Operators can enroll biometric credentials for cardholders directly within Genetec Security Center, without separate enrollment software. 

• Simplifies administration inside the existing Security Center workflow. 

• Reduces operator training and daily management complexity. 

• Helps maintain cleaner cardholder and credential records. 

• Accelerates biometric rollout across doors, departments, and sites. 

Flexible multi-factor authentication 

Suprema devices support combinations of biometrics, RFID cards, PINs, QR codes, mobile credentials, and fingerprints depending on the device model and configuration. 

• Matches authentication strength to each door, user group, or risk level. 
• Supports both everyday convenience and high-assurance verification. 
• Enables flexible access for employees, visitors, contractors, and temporary users. 
• Reduces dependency on a single credential type. 

Built-in device security and privacy protection 

Suprema devices include internal security features such as secure boot, secure components, tamper detection, encrypted biometric data handling, and Template on Mobile. 

• Protects devices against unauthorized firmware, tampering, and data compromise. 
• Reduces security risk at the edge where access decisions happen. 
• Supports privacy-conscious deployment with mobile-stored biometric templates. 
• Helps align biometric access with enterprise security expectations. è_

Unified device configuration and management 

Suprema biometric devices can be configured and managed as part of the Genetec Security Center access control environment. 

• Centralizes biometric device management in one platform. 
• Reduces system complexity and software fragmentation. 
• Improves consistency across different devices, doors, and locations. 
• Makes it easier to scale Suprema readers across enterprise sites. 

Resilient offline authentication 

Suprema devices support cardholder authentication and door control during offline scenarios, with events uploaded automatically after reconnection. 

• Maintains access continuity during temporary network interruptions. 

• Reduces disruption at critical doors and high-traffic entrances. 

• Preserves event visibility through automatic synchronization. 

• Supports resilient access control for distributed or sensitive sites. 

Event synchronization and audit visibility 

Access events from Suprema devices can be reflected in Genetec Security Center for monitoring, review, and investigation. 

• Gives security teams clearer visibility into access activity. 

• Supports audit, reporting, and investigation workflows. 

• Connects identity verification events with broader access control operations. 

• Improves accountability across restricted areas and multi-site deployments. 

Durable, deployment-ready reader portfolio 

BioStation 3 Max offers a premium 7-inch touchscreen terminal, BioStation 3 provides compact contactless access with PoE+ and intercom capabilities, and BioEntry W3 delivers slim AI facial authentication with strong outdoor durability. 

• Provides the right reader form factor for each door and environment. 

• Supports premium entrances, standard access points, and compact outdoor installations. 

• Reduces installation complexity with options such as PoE+, mobile access, RFID, QR, and network connectivity. 

• Helps standardize biometric access while adapting to site-specific requirements. 

Solution Architecture

Suprema Plugin is an integration plugin designed to enable Biometric Authentication in Genetec Security Center using Suprema devices.

The plugin allows users to enroll biometric credentials for cardholders directly from the Genetec Security Desk interface. Enrolled biometric data, along with Cardholder and Credential information from Genetec Security Center, is synchronized to Suprema devices.

Access Events generated from Suprema devices are uploaded to Genetec Security Center, allowing users to monitor and manage Suprema authentication results directly from Genetec Security Des

Suprema Device Plugin

Suprema Device Plugin enables Suprema biometric authentication workflows within Genetec Security Center.

It provides biometric enrollment within Genetec Security Center, synchronizes Cardholder and Credential information from Genetec Security Center to Suprema devices, and uploads Access Events generated by Suprema devices to Genetec Security Center.

Multiple Suprema Device Plugin instances can operate under a single Genetec Main Directory, allowing users to manage multiple Suprema device groups within the same Genetec Security Center environment.

Suprema Extractor Plugin

Suprema Extraction Plugin is responsible for managing Cardholder biometric data in a separate MS SQL database.

When multiple Suprema Device Plugin instances are used, they communicate with a single Suprema Extraction Plugin instance to fetch, insert, or update biometric data. This ensures that biometric data is managed consistently and prevents duplicate biometric records across multiple plugin instances.
