“AMG switches can be discovered and added as native Genetec entities, allowing users to manage and monitor their network infrastructure of AMG products to gain insight into their switch state directly from the VMS. Very few switch manufacturers have this certification,” said Steve Clarke, managing director, AMG.

“Genetec has completed a thorough evaluation of AMG Systems Ltd’s Network Device Management integration against the provided use cases and concluded that it meets Genetec’s functionality and quality criteria. Considering this, we confirm that AMG Systems’ Network Device Management integration is now certified by the Development Acceleration Program (DAP) to run with the Genetec Security Center,” said Thibaut Louvet, senior director of professional services, Genetec.

Tom Exley, technical director, AMG, added, “Integrating AMG switches within the Genetec Security Center will allow smart alerting and provide real-time alerts to ensure a proactive response to any network-related issues, control switch ports, Power-over-Ethernet and contact closure inputs and outputs from within the Genetec software. Users gain insight into the health and status of the network with switch and port statistics, including ARP cache and MAC table monitoring. Harnessing the Genetec automation rules to trigger contact closures or shutdown ports without the requirement of manual interventions. The Genetec Security Center integration is a major advancement for the acceptance of AMG switches and gives Genetec users another strong reason to use AMG in their applications.”
