SAFR Launches Cloud Integration with Genetec Security Center (SC) SaaS

AI-driven edge solution stops threats in real time, empowering retailers to prevent crime, protect employees, and enhance customer experience.

SAFR, a RealNetworks company, announced a new cloud integration of their SAFR SCAN Face authentication devices with Genetec™ Security Center SaaS (SC SaaS). The integration delivers an end-to-end, cloud-connected access and video solution requiring no on-premises servers or local software—dramatically reducing hardware needs, lowering total cost of ownership, while elevating the user experience and security.

With this launch, organizations can leverage Security Center SaaS for streamlined employee enrollment while activating SAFR SCAN devices to enable fast, privacy-centric facial authentication, ONVIF-compatible video camera, and built-in door control via RIO protocol—all managed from the cloud.

“Enterprises are seeking simpler, more secure, and more scalable access solutions,” said John Cassise, Chief Product Officer at SAFR. “By combining Security Center SaaS with SAFR’s edge AI and SCAN devices, customers can deploy a fully cloud-managed, standards-based system that reduces hardware, lowers cost, and elevates both security and user experience.”

“Through our close collaboration, SAFR SCAN hardware now connects to Security Center SaaS via a single IP connection, delivering face authentication, IP video, and door control in one solution, meeting the expectations of cloud-driven organizations.” -Kris Houle, Product Line Manager, Security Center SaaS

Availability

The SAFR cloud integration for Security Center SaaS is available October 2025 through SAFR and authorized partners. Existing Genetec customers can add SAFR SCAN devices with door controller features or using legacy panels and enable the integration without deploying local servers.
