Genetec Speaks On Its Video Analytics Strategy
With Genetec's rival Milestone consolidating Briefcam and Briefcam being a common partner for Genetec, what is Genetec's video analytics strategy?
More broadly, unifying video analytics within VMS / VSaaS is a growing trend plus, Genetec has owned KiwiVision for many years, so what is Genetec doing in this regard?
In this report, we examine Genetec's plans for video analytics and answers to these quesitons based on an interview with the Vice President Of Product Engineering, Christian Morin.
For background, see Genetec Focused On Sustainable Independent Future (CEO Interview) and Genetec New Architecture - Launches Security Center SaaS.
