How Safe and Sound Security Installs Genetec

Safe and Sound Security designs, installs, configures, and integrates Genetec Security Center for commercial and government sites. Genetec runs on an open architecture, so it connects third-party cameras, readers, and access hardware instead of locking you into one manufacturer. We build the system around what you already own, including existing IP cameras, door controllers, and network cabling. For government and education projects, we spec NDAA-compliant cameras, such as Axis and Bosch, so the deployment qualifies for federally funded work under Section 889. The same team installs the cameras, the access hardware, and the network behind them. Whether you are adding Genetec to an existing setup or starting fresh, we handle site design, installation, configuration, and staff training from one contractor.

Security system installation service

Tom was perfect and crew were top notch. They got the issues of a old system someone else did, figured out and back up running better. I recommend this company by far over all others.

I was on the look out for a company that could help keep our buildings safe, and after shopping around our team settled on Safe and Sound and we couldn't be happier. The customer service is top notch, and they have gone above and beyond to help us. In fact when we had questions about an unrelated issue which they didn't work on, they got us in touch with a company that could help us. Whenever we communicate with Safe and Sound it's always a clear and concise conversation. Other competitors should take notice and follow suit, because their professionalism and service should be the gold standard. Thank you Safe and Sound team!

Safe and Sound has been an excellent choice for our business. Scott and his crew made the entire installation process seamless. They were on-time and prepared, had answers to any and all questions, were able to make changes on a dime, and kept an incredibly clean job site. From start to finish, the entire process has been so easy to navigate. Cannot recommend them enough. We will now use Safe and Sound for all of our facilities. Thank you Scott and Team!

Thank you Safe and Sound for employees like Scott Reid! Knowledge, kind, attentive and very understanding of our needs with our security camera. He exceeded our expectations. He not only fixed the issues with the camera, but assisted with downloading the apps on our phones and making sure that each one was running smoothly.

I highly recommend this business "Safe and Sound" they not only have a very knowledgeable and helpful staff but they're also friendly and their techs are very professional. The service of quality was exceptional, and the turnaround time was fast and very appreciated.

I called and spoke with Valerie and she was exceptional. Speaking to her made me feel like I was top priority, she went above and beyond while even following up days later. Great customer care like this is what keeps customers like myself returning, there is no problem big or small they can’t handle. 👍🏾👍🏾

I highly recommended Safe & Sound for commercial projects! I've worked with Safe and Sound on many projects, and they were all executed perfectly. I appreciate the Safe and Sound team supporting us from start to finish, even after receiving the service. I can always trust the Safe and Sound team for their quality of work, attentiveness, and customer service.

Every employee I encountered were helpful and considerate. Shannon was so patient and led me to a resolve!

Safe and Sound Security expertly installed the alarm and camera security system at my building in DTLA. Eric (install/service) is knowledgeable about the systems, can troubleshoot any issue, and coordinated with my IT company. Whenever there is a service request the Safe and Sound Team are extremely helpful, responsive, and professional.

Genetec Security Center

Genetec Security Center is a unified platform that combines Omnicast video management, Synergis access control, and AutoVu automatic license plate recognition in one interface. Instead of running separate systems for cameras, doors, and parking, operators monitor and manage all of them from a single map-based console. Security Center is built on an open architecture, so it works with thousands of third-party IP cameras and access readers rather than locking you into one hardware brand. The platform also ties in intrusion, intercom, and threat-response workflows, so an operator can verify an alarm on video and lock or unlock a door from the same screen. Every module shares one user directory and one set of rules, which keeps access privileges and audit logs consistent whether you run one building or a hundred. It scales from a single site to a city-wide deployment and supports on-premises, hybrid, and cloud configurations. Safe and Sound Security installs and configures Genetec Security Center, connects it to the cameras and access hardware you already own, and pairs it with NDAA-compliant cameras like Axis and Bosch for government and education projects that must meet Section 889.

How to Choose a Qualified Genetec Installer

A qualified Genetec installer is a security integrator trained to design, deploy, and configure Genetec Security Center, not just resell it. Genetec runs a Channel Partner Program with three tiers: Certified, Elite, and Unified Elite. Each tier reflects how many current product certifications an integrator’s technicians hold, with Unified Elite requiring the most, plus system-hardening and system-design credentials for complex enterprise work. You can confirm an integrator’s standing by looking them up in the Genetec Channel Partner Program directory and checking the Credly badges their technicians carry. It matters because correct installation keeps your manufacturer warranty and support intact, gives your integrator a direct escalation path to Genetec engineering, and ensures complex architecture like hybrid-cloud and license plate recognition is configured the way Genetec intends. Ask any installer to show current certifications and a reference site similar to yours before you sign. Safe and Sound Security designs, installs, integrates, and services Genetec systems for commercial and government clients, and pairs them with NDAA-compliant cameras for federally funded projects.

Genetec Omnicast

Genetec Omnicast is the video management system inside Security Center. It records and manages live and archived video from IP cameras across one site or many, and displays them on dynamic maps so operators can follow activity between buildings or across a campus. Omnicast supports thousands of camera models on an open platform, so you can keep compatible cameras you already own instead of replacing the whole fleet. Footage stores on-site, in the cloud, or both, and the system encrypts video, authenticates users, and manages certificates to protect recordings from tampering. Because Omnicast is one module of the wider platform, an operator can pull up the camera tied to a door alarm or a license-plate read without switching programs, which shortens response time and gives investigators a time-stamped record that is quick to search and export. The system also runs video analytics such as motion search and camera-health monitoring, so a blocked or failed camera is flagged before you need the footage. We size storage and retention to how long your industry or agency requires footage to be kept. Operators can share a live view or an exported clip with responders without opening the rest of the system. Safe and Sound Security installs and configures Omnicast, integrates it with your access control and alarms, and installs the security cameras it runs on under one contractor.

Cloud, Hybrid, and On-Prem Genetec Deployments

Genetec runs three ways, and the right one depends on how much you want to manage on-site. An on-premises deployment keeps Security Center and its recording servers in your own building, which suits organizations with strict data-control rules or existing server rooms. A hybrid deployment keeps some recording local while pushing part of the system to the cloud, often through a Genetec Cloudlink appliance, so you modernize in stages instead of all at once. A full cloud deployment uses Genetec Stratocast, which uploads footage from cloud-connected cameras straight to secure online storage. Stratocast removes the need for on-site DVRs and NVRs, lets you add cameras without buying more recording hardware, and sends priority push notifications to mobile devices. It records to two places at once, so if the internet drops, cameras keep saving footage to local SD cards until the connection returns, and every stream is encrypted in transit. Many organizations start hybrid and shift more to the cloud as older recorders reach end of life. Safe and Sound Security walks you through the trade-offs in cost, control, and maintenance, then installs and configures the deployment model that fits your sites and budget.

Migrating Legacy Systems to Genetec

Moving to Genetec rarely means ripping out everything you own. A Genetec Cloudlink appliance connects legacy hardware, such as electronic locks, door sensors, and license plate readers, to a cloud-based access control system, so you keep working equipment and add cloud management on top. One Cloudlink appliance controls up to 256 electronic locks and readers; when you pass that number, a second appliance adds another 256 devices. That lets a large site scale access control in blocks instead of replacing every controller at once. Cloudlink integrates with access hardware from HID, Axis, Salto, Mercury Security, and Allegion, and includes anti-passback, which stops one credential from being shared to let a second person tailgate through a door. Because Genetec is open, most of your existing readers and locks stay in place. How long a migration takes depends on scope. Swapping the video management layer while keeping cameras is usually a matter of weeks, while a full cutover that replaces access control, adds license plate recognition, and integrates third-party systems can run several months. Safe and Sound Security plans the sequence so your building stays secure during the switch, migrates your door and camera configuration, and phases the work around your operating hours instead of forcing a single shutdown.

How to Implement Genetec VMS

Safe and Sound Security installs Genetec systems in a set sequence built around your site. First, our technicians survey the property to map camera angles, door hardware, cable paths, and network runs, then confirm the Genetec system and hardware requirements for the design. Next, we install and configure the cameras, the Security Center software, access control readers, and video analytics, with an optional on-site recording server where a site needs local storage. We test every device, tune analytics to cut false alarms, and connect the system to your network. Before we leave, we train your security staff to operate, adjust, and expand the system, so your team can run day-to-day monitoring, pull footage, and manage access without calling us for routine changes. We stay available for service, tuning, and system changes as your site grows.

Genetec Synergis Access Control

Genetec Synergis is the access control side of Security Center. It manages who can open which doors and when, across one building or many, from the same console that runs your video. Administrators issue and revoke credentials, set schedules and rules, and respond to a door alarm from a central or remote location, and every event is logged with a time stamp and door ID. Synergis runs on an open, non-proprietary platform, so it works with door controllers and readers from HID, Mercury Security, Allegion, and others rather than tying you to one lock brand. Because access and video share one system, an operator can see the camera covering a door the moment a credential is used or forced. Safe and Sound Security installs and integrates Genetec Synergis for commercial and government sites, and connects it to our access control installation and cabling work under one contractor.

Avigilon vs Genetec

Compare two open, unified security platforms: Avigilon Unity and Genetec Security Center. Both combine video and access control on one system, so the choice comes down to your existing hardware, deployment model, and budget. Safe and Sound Security installs and integrates both.

Genetec Installation FAQ

Who can install a Genetec security system?

A Genetec system should be installed by a security integrator trained to design and configure Genetec Security Center, not a general camera installer. Genetec is a unified platform, so the installer has to set up video, access control, and analytics as one system and connect it to your network. Safe and Sound Security installs, integrates, and services Genetec for commercial and government sites.

What is the Genetec Channel Partner Program?

The Genetec Channel Partner Program is Genetec’s certification framework for the integrators that sell and install its software. It has three tiers, Certified, Elite, and Unified Elite, based on how many current product certifications an integrator’s technicians hold. You can verify a partner’s tier through the program directory and the Credly badges their technicians carry.

Is Genetec NDAA compliant?

Genetec Security Center software is not on the NDAA Section 889 banned list, but a system’s compliance depends on the cameras connected to it. To keep a Genetec deployment eligible for government-funded projects, the cameras must come from compliant manufacturers. Safe and Sound Security specs NDAA-compliant cameras into Genetec systems for public agencies, so the deployment stays eligible for federal funding. See Section 889.

Can Genetec integrate with my existing cameras and access control?

Yes. Genetec runs on an open architecture and supports thousands of third-party IP cameras, door controllers, and readers, including HID, Axis, Salto, Mercury Security, and Allegion. That means you can usually keep compatible hardware you already own instead of replacing it. Safe and Sound Security reviews your current equipment and confirms what integrates before any work starts.

How long does it take to migrate to Genetec?

It depends on scope. Replacing the video management layer while keeping your cameras is usually a matter of weeks. A full cutover that adds access control, license plate recognition, and third-party integrations can take several months. Safe and Sound Security phases the migration so your site stays secure and operating throughout the switch.

Does Safe and Sound Security service Genetec systems after installation?

Yes. Safe and Sound Security services, repairs, and maintains Genetec systems after installation, covering software and firmware updates, camera and reader replacement, storage checks, and troubleshooting. The same team supports single-camera setups and multi-site enterprise networks, so you have one contractor for the life of the system.
