Genetec Security Center for Chicago Enterprise Properties

Montreal’s Unified Security Platform

Genetec was founded in 1997 in Montreal, Canada, by Pierre Racz. Starting as a video management software developer, Genetec evolved into a unified security platform company whose flagship product — Security Center — integrates video surveillance, access control, license plate recognition, intrusion detection, and analytics into a single operator interface.

Genetec is privately held and has grown steadily without venture capital, maintaining independence in a market where many competitors have been acquired by larger conglomerates. The company employs over 2,000 people and serves enterprise customers in more than 80 countries.

Why Genetec Matters

Security Center is the VMS of choice for large-scale enterprise deployments, municipal surveillance networks, airports, hospitals, and university campuses. Its strength lies in unifying multiple security disciplines — video, access, LPR, analytics — under one interface, reducing the operational complexity of managing separate siloed systems.

Stratocast is Genetec’s cloud-hosted video surveillance offering for organizations seeking SaaS-model video without on-premise server infrastructure.

AutoVu provides automated license plate recognition for parking management, law enforcement, and commercial vehicle tracking.

Synergis is Genetec’s access control module that operates within Security Center, enabling operators to manage doors, credentials, and access events from the same interface they use for video.
