Genea Access Control Integration - Associate Access logs and users to video in MOBOTIX HUB.
Access Control is the most widely used solution across corporates to restrict unauthorized access for outsiders. However, despite having installed high-end access control systems, it is often encountered that there is a security breach. Therefore, an integrated security system is required. For example, there are instances wherein an authorized person swipes for access, and an unauthorized person walks alongside him to enter the premises without proving his identity. In yet another scenario, people often forget to shut the doors after them, leaving the entire building vulnerable to outsiders. In absence of a system to provide visual evidence, it is impossible to identify the culprit even after the breach. Genea ACS integration with MOBOTIX VMS, ensures foolproof security of your organization, preventing unauthorized access.
