Fri, 19th Apr 2024

i-PRO has announced that it now supports Genetec Security Center Software as a Service (SaaS). A world-leading provider of security solutions for surveillance and public safety, i-PRO is working to offer its new AI-enabled camera models, capable of delivering 98 different metadata attributes and supporting third-party analytic applications with the new service. It is also launching a no-cost app to provide the same for existing devices in the field.

Hiroshi (Huey) Sekiguchi, CMO of i-PRO Co., Ltd., celebrated this expansion of their offerings: "Genetec has taken a bold step forward in providing customers with unprecedented flexibility and scale. At i-PRO our goal is to offer a wide range of new and existing AI-enabled camera models for customers to choose from when connecting to Security Center SaaS. Most importantly, we want our customers to be able to leverage their existing i-PRO camera investment when taking advantage of this important new SaaS solution."

Genetec Security Center SaaS is a unified physical security solution with the capacity to scale enterprise-grade security, using a hybrid-cloud architecture to deliver a service. This is specifically designed to offer businesses a succinct deployment solution and the flexibility to select the best devices and cameras for their purposes.

i-PRO's AI cameras' particular speciality is in providing unique descriptors, such as shoe and bag colours and the presence of beards, along with supporting a selection of 3rd party analytic applications. With these capabilities, the cameras can facilitate an exceptional degree of event alarm detail for both individuals and vehicles. This emphasis on an application-based approach is i-PRO's strategy to ensure current customers won't be obligated to purchase new devices to acquire the benefits of Security Center SaaS.

Andrew Elvish, Vice President of Marketing at Genetec Inc., spoke highly about the value of this collaboration: "Security Center SaaS was designed to deliver flexibility and scalability through an open platform approach. i-PRO shares the same core values which makes our combined solution that much more valuable to our shared customers."

i-PRO was established in 2019, evolving from a 60-year heritage of innovation with Panasonic. Focused on the design and build of advanced sensing & camera technologies.
