SAFR Genetec API Integration enables SAFR to interoperate with Genetec Security Center (GSC) by inserting events and bookmarks for person or actions events in SAFR into GSC or issuing an Access Granted API call to Genetec Synergis using Cloudlink. Generated events can be used for monitoring or invoking Genetec Actions. Bookmarks inserted by SAFR enable search on archived videos. Access can be granted for virtual or physical doors. These capabilities greatly enhance a Genetec operator's ability to focus on the important activities impacting security.
Events and bookmarks generated by SAFR include person attributes such as date and time, location, person type (e.g. staff, visitor, etc.), id class (known, threat, concern, stranger) and person name. This information can be used in event to action rules in Genetec or for purposes of searching video archives.
Access granted events are issued by sending the recognized cardholder credentials to the panel and associated the active grant with the door associated with the camera.
This guide covers the installation and configuration of the SAFR Relay application only. For complete SAFR and SAFR SCAN documentation please visit http://docs.real.com.
Download the following files required by SAFR – Genetec API Integration.
SAFR – Genetec API Integration is built with the following python script and supporting files. These are not required. They are provided only if you wish to extend the integration. These files are provided as-is with no support.
SAFR offers two integrations with the Genetec Security Center
SAFR also develops an integration to Genetec Synergis for importing persons and credentials into SAFR. This integration is complementary and can be used in conjunction with either of the SAFR VMS integrations.
A typical deployment requires the following:
Video streams from 3rd Party cameras are connected to the Genetec Security Center and to SAFR Video Gateway. Video from 3rd party cameras processed by SAFR is a resource intensive activity and may requires one or more servers. Once processed, SAFR sends events, bookmarks to Genetec.
Video streams from SAFR Camera or SAFR SCAN are connected to Genetec Security Center for monitoring and archiving. SAFR Camera and SAFR SCAN are also connected to SAFR Server to deliver events which are associated with the correct Genetec video stream and used to send events and bookmarks to Genetec.
SAFR Desktop is also used to perform various management activities.
Genetec has the following system requirements:
SAFR has the following system requirements:
SAFR Genetec Security Center API Integration requires 1 x GSC-1SDk-RealN-FR license per camera or SCAN devices connected in Genetec. This license should be requested from Genetec.
This Genetec part number must be added to your Genetec connection license and that license reapplied.
The GSC-1SDk-RealN-FR license is independent of Genetec camera licenses. You will also need a Genetec device license for each camera connected.
Genetec Synergies licenser required for access control.
SAFR Camera SC800 and SCAN devices already come with licenses. Therefore, no additional licenses are required per device. A SAFR Server license/account will be required to install SAFR Platform. Please request it from your SAFR local team.
SAFR requires additional licenses for 3rd party cameras. Please request information about licensing of 3rd party cameras from your SAFR local team.
