Genetec Inc. is an innovative technology company with a broad solutions portfolio that encompasses security, intelligence, and operations. The company offers innovative, connected solutions that go beyond security to provide operational insights that allow users to improve their business and environment.

Founded in 1997 with a vision to build a physical security system that offered more scalability, flexibility, and ease of use than anything else on the market – the company launched its first IP-based video surveillance system, Omnicast™. As the need for interoperation with security systems grew, Genetec responded with their flagship product, Genetec™ Security Center. This open-architecture physical security platform with built-in privacy and cybersecurity measures, unifies IP-based video surveillance, access control, automatic license plate recognition (ALPR), communications, and analytics.

Security Center delivers a cohesive operating picture through modules that were built as one system. As this unified platform gained traction and the technology landscape began to change, new opportunities led Genetec to create Stratocast™, a cloud-based video surveillance solution. Genetec also develops cloud services designed to improve security and contribute new levels of operational intelligence for governments, enterprises, transport, and the communities in which we live.

The company approaches technology development with curiosity and creativity, while it builds products with privacy and cybersecurity in mind from the start. Headquartered in Montréal, Canada, Genetec has offices around the world, including Mexico City, Sao Paolo, Dusseldorf, Austria, Paris, London, Dubai, Tokyo, and Singapore. In addition, Genetec serves its global customers via an extensive network of resellers, integrators, certified channel partners, and consultants in over 159 countries.
