Suprema Biometric Devices Can Now be Integrated With Genetec Security Center, Companies Announce

Suprema biometric devices can now be integrated with Genetec’s identity management solution, Security Center, the companies have announced.

Integrated through Entertech Systems’ BioConnect 3.0 identity management platform the resulting solution, they believe, will simplify the process of deploying, enrolling and managing biometric-based access control,

The Suprema devices that can integrate with Genetec Security Center include BioStation T2, BioStation, BioEntry Plus, BioEntry W, BioLite Net and BioMini.

“Suprema is very pleased to integrate its global leading biometrics technology into Genetec Security Center,” says Young S Moon, Suprema vice president.

“The benefits of True Identity will offer enhanced security and extra convenience for the Synergis access control features in Genetec Security Center.

“This integration includes a wide range of premium biometric-driven access control devices that are suitable for indoor and outdoor installation, and will efficiently meet a wide range of system requirements.”

Genetec’s flagship solution Security Center is an open-platform IP security system that brings together IP access control and video management in a single security solution. BioConnect and Security Center can be combined via a “seamless and real-time link” that allows cardholder profiles to be captured centrally in Security Center. This will eliminate duplicate activities such as the dual cardholder data entry typically found in traditional integrations between standalone systems.

Access control events generated by biometric devices can be monitored centrally through Security Center, while activity reports from doors with Suprema biometric devices can be consolidated with traditional doors and also linked with video for greater situational awareness. Genetec customers will benefit from the added features of proven biometrics, and centralized monitoring and activity reporting for traditional and biometric devices.

“With this new integration between Security Center and Suprema biometric devices, our customers will be able to overcome some of the major barriers to biometric adoption,” says François Brouillet, Access Control Product Manager for Genetec Inc.

“BioConnect is an easy-to-use system integrated with Security Center. The simple enrollment process offers convenience and security when incorporating cutting-edge biometrics.”

Says Rob Douglas, CEO of Entertech Systems: “Genetec is a leader in unified physical IP security management systems worldwide. By aligning with Suprema and Entertech Systems, Genetec is able to offer a truly integrated biometric access control system with its video security and ALPR capabilities for the first time.

“This integration through our BioConnect identity management platform is a successful example of market leaders coming together to enable easier adoption of biometrics.

At Entertech Systems, we are purpose-built to help access control systems and end users overcome the three main obstacles to mainstream adoption of biometrics, including cost, complexity and on-boarding users.”

The Suprema line of biometric devices and Entertech Systems’ BioConnect application are now available through Genetec Inc.
