Genetec Inc. Reveals Technology Partnership With Allegion
Genetec Inc. announced plans to support the Allegion Schlage AD-Series of hardwired and wireless locks. Through this integration, the Schlage AD 300 and 400 Series can be seamlessly integrated into Genetec Synergis — the IP-based access control module in Genetec Security Center, the company’s unified IP security platform that combines access control, video surveillance and automatic license plate recognition (ALPR). This integration will offer a cost-effective and scalable solution for a wide range of customers, including higher education, healthcare and commercial real estate institutions. Customers can expect to enroll Schlage AD-Series into their Synergis access control system in Security Center version 5.5 (expected in Q2 2016), and will be available through the Genetec Channel Partner Program.
The addition of Allegion to the Genetec technology partner ecosystem will also give systems integrators access to an ever greater choice of industry-standard hardwired and wireless electronic locks. In many cases, overall system design and deployment will be greatly simplified, allowing Genetec certified channel partners to leverage wireless locks that significantly reduce installation time and labor costs typically associated with hardwired solutions, without having to compromise on reliability.
