Integration Details

From within the Genetec Security Center, users can now monitor asset locations and events in real-time, run historical reports, respond to asset-related alerts, and manage other data from the RF Code Asset Manager solution. Operators can also view video attached to asset events and alerts, which provides them with the all-important video verification of all asset-related activity. Asset-related alerts are consolidated within the Security Center’s alarm management task, ensuring operators can view and respond to asset-related alarms using the same Security Center client interface used for their access control, video, and intrusion detection systems. Users can also generate Security Center reports related to asset location and movements; these include a report detailing the current location of tracked assets, a report providing a historical review of asset-related events and activity, and an alarm report with all asset alerts.

The following functionalities are available, among others, with the Genetec Plugin:

Automatically synchronize RF Code assets and create corresponding entities in the Security Center.
Live monitoring of asset-related events and activity (asset online, asset offline, asset moves, low battery).
Automatic synchronization of RF Code alerts (asset and sensor tags) with Security Center alarms.
Automatically add/delete assets in Security Center when they are added/deleted in the RF Code Asset Manager.
Acknowledge alarms in Security Center, which acknowledges alerts in the RF Code solution and vice versa.
View video tied to asset-related activity and alerts within monitoring and reporting tasks.
Real-time tracking of asset locations on a per area basis.
Asset Management Inventory reporting task that details the current location (area) of an asset.
Asset Activity reporting task that provides a historical review of asset-related events and activity.
Reporting of asset management health events, e.g., assets are offline.
Automatically execute Security Center actions (e.g., send email) based on RF Code events and alerts.

The combined solution from RF Code and Genetec enables customers to incorporate highly accurate and fully automated asset tracking information into their safety and security system. The integrated solution provides an added level of insight and protection to critical assets.
