The integration presents an end-to-end, cloud-connected access and video solution requiring no on-premises servers or local software—dramatically reducing hardware needs, lowering total cost of ownership, while elevating the user experience and security.

With this launch, organisations can leverage Security Center SaaS for streamlined employee enrollment while activating SAFR Scan devices to enable fast, privacy-centric facial authentication, ONVIF-compatible video camera, and built-in door control via RIO protocol—all managed from the cloud.

Some of the key benefits include:

• Zero local infrastructure: No on-prem servers or software required; deploy and manage entirely from the cloud.

• Unified identity and access: Direct integration with Security Center SaaS automates employee enrollment and lifecycle management.

• Advanced authentication at the edge: SAFR Scan devices provide touchless, rapid facial authentication for secure, convenient entry.

• Standards-based video: ONVIF video ensures broad compatibility within existing VMS ecosystems.

• Built in door control: The Synergis Cloud Link’s RIO protocol enables direct, panel-free door control, reducing cost, complexity and points of failure.

• Lower cost, higher reliability: Fewer devices and simpler architecture reduce installation, maintenance, and downtime.

• Enhanced user experience: Faster throughput and intuitive user experience with onboard IP video and intercom capabilities improve security and safety.

Simplicity and security

The SAFR–Genetec collaboration aims to modernise access control by moving core operations to the cloud, eliminating legacy panel dependencies and local software provisioning. Enrollment from Security Center SaaS synchronises directly with SAFR, ensuring the right users have the right access at the right time, while SAFR Scan devices perform on-device facial matching for speed and resilience.

“Enterprises are seeking simpler, more secure, and more scalable access solutions,” said John Cassise, Chief Product Officer at SAFR. “By combining Security Center SaaS with SAFR’s edge AI and Scan devices, customers can deploy a fully cloud-managed, standards-based system that reduces hardware, lowers cost, and elevates both security and user experience.”

“Through our close collaboration, SAFR Scan hardware now connects to Security Center SaaS via a single IP connection, delivering face authentication, IP video, and door control in one solution, meeting the expectations of cloud-driven organisations,”  says Kris Houle, Product Line Manager, Security Center SaaS.
