Genetec Mobile for iPhone

Remote access for your security platform (free iPhone app)

Genetec Mobile is a complimentary iPhone application from Genetec that lets authorized personnel interact with their Genetec Security Center installation while away from the control room. The app provides on-the-go access to video feeds, access-control functions, and license-plate recognition data so security teams can respond faster and manage incidents remotely.

Core system integrations

The mobile client connects to the main Security Center components and exposes their capabilities through the app interface:

• AutoVu ALPR (automatic license plate recognition)
• Synergis access-control management
• Omnicast video management platform

Live and recorded video tools

Use your device to view and manipulate camera streams:

• Stream and capture live video from a mobile device, then share with other operators
• Move PTZ cameras and review recorded footage
• Create and manage bookmarks in recordings for later reference

Access control and ALPR management

Control entry points and handle plate-based events from the app:

• Add license plates to hotlists and receive plate reads and matches
• Lock or unlock doors and keep an eye on access points
• Monitor access events and respond to suspicious activity

Team coordination and communications

Built-in collaboration features help teams work together during incidents:

• Stream and share live device video with Security Desk operators
• Track mobile users on a map using geo-localization for situational awareness
• Send in-app messages and place calls using Sipelia to coordinate actions

Incident actions and alerts

Quick-response functions let users escalate or notify others when necessary:

• Publish public announcements to inform people in affected areas
• Adjust or declare threat levels to reflect the situation
• Manually create and trigger incident records to start formal responses

Demo access and system requirements

Try the app with a demo instance or connect it to your production Security Center:

• A free demo system is available from the Genetec Mobile sign-in page
• Requires Security Center version 5.8 or later; some capabilities may need specific integrations or newer Security Center builds
