545 Genetec has released the latest version of its IP video surveillance security solution, Omnicast. With this new release, the company says customers will benefit from new hardware integrations and enhancements to existing integrations from leading security technology manufacturers, such as 686 Pelco, 2215 Axis, 20 Barco and 598 Panasonic.

The most significant new additions in Omnicast 4.3 are the support for Axis H.264 IP cameras and encoders and the Pelco extension, which supports the integration of several Pelco IP products. Specifically, Genetec says that customers with an interest in integrating new top-of-the-line products from both Axis and Pelco will benefit from even more flexibility in designing their system or migrating their system from analogue to IP.
