Genetec Synergis

Genetec Synergis is an open, IP-based access control system (ACS) engineered to enhance physical building security, automate cardholder credential management, and protect enterprise facilities against unauthorized physical entry. Designed with non-proprietary hardware architecture, Synergis allows organizations to deploy and manage a wide range of industry-standard access control hardware, intelligent controllers, electronic locks, and biometric readers, eliminating the constraints of proprietary hardware lock-in. The platform incorporates advanced cybersecurity safeguards, including end-to-end encrypted communications using TLS and OSDP v2 protocols, secure credential storage, and multi-factor authentication to defend physical access networks against spoofing and tampering. Security operators can configure sophisticated access rules, visitor management workflows, automated badge provisioning, and emergency lockdown procedures directly from the central Security Center interface. Real-time event monitoring alerts administrators to forced doors, tailgating incidents, and invalid badge attempts, automatically linking physical access events with synchronized video recordings from Omnicast for instant visual verification. Genetec Synergis delivers scalable, cyber-hardened physical access control that simplifies facility management, satisfies compliance auditing standards, and ensures comprehensive protection for organizational personnel and physical assets.
