The new plugin developed by San2 allows LDA Audio Tech’s NEO and NEO+ public address and voice evacuation systems to be directly integrated into the Genetec Security Center platform.

This integration expands the possibilities for LDA partners, distributors and integrators working on projects with advanced and larger needs, where centralized management of video, access control, intrusion detection and now also public address and evacuation is required, all from a single interface: Genetec Security Desk.

Thanks to this development, operators can monitor and act on LDA systems directly from Genetec’s graphical environment, without external tools. The integration allows:

• Real-time monitoring of NEO and NEO+ systems status.
• Reception of automated events in critical environments: emergency, failure, disconnection or status change. 
• Alarm generation and response automation through Genetec's “Event to Action” system.
• Remote volume control, signal routing, zone muting or sending customized commands.
• Design of dynamic menus customizable for each installation or client, within the Genetec environment.

The plugin developed by San2 is certified and available under the part number GSC-1SDK-SAN2-LDA. The plugin is installed using a guided installer that deploys client and server in a simple way. Once operational, the plug-in works in “Operator” mode, connecting to LDA’s NEO and NEO+ devices without modifying their factory settings, in a non-intrusive way.

From Genetec’s configuration tool (Config Tool), it is possible to define the check frequency, associate events to status changes and customize the visual indicators on the interface. It also supports hierarchical menus (parent and child) to better structure the available actions.

The plug-in is already in operation in real-world environments, projects where it has demonstrated stability, efficiency and compatibility with unified security installations. It allows a more agile response in emergencies, continuous monitoring of the public address and voice alarm system and a native integration into Genetec workflows.

This joint project demonstrates San2 and LDA Audio Tech’s commitment to deliver more value, efficiency and control to dealers and integrators, in pursuit of true interoperability between critical security systems.
