Canadian security solutions provider, 545 Genetec, has introduced its Security Center, which blends licence plate recognition (LPR), video surveillance and access control into one easy-to-use platform.

This latest version of Security Center introduces new features designed to enhance video monitoring, simplify the system’s operation, and streamline upgrades and maintenance activities. Also featured is Plan Manager, a map-based interface that allows users to create a virtual environment from maps, floor plans, or GIS (geographic information system) maps for all types of sites such as cities, neighbourhoods, airports and buildings.

Security Center also features the latest in mobile applications, enabling a wide range of smartphones or iPhones to be used to monitor and control security operations. A platform independent, universal web client for video, access control, and license plate recognition allows customers to connect back to their platform to view live video streams, control PTZ cameras, configure aspects of their access control and LPR systems, and run reports from most web browsers.

    A common assumption, even amongst informed observers, is that there’s but a handful of urban charging schemes in operation around the world and scant prospect of that changing any time soon. Larger city-sized schemes such as Singapore, London and Stockholm come readily to mind but if we take a wider view and also consider urban access control and Low Emission Zones (LEZs) then the picture changes rather radically. There is a notable concentration of such schemes in Europe but worldwide the number is comfort

The aim was to dry run its far-reaching integration of previously distinct core systems and familiarise the public with the initial phase of what will be a long-term post-event legacy. The centre brings together, i
