Axis "Powered By Genetec" Access Control Vs. HID / Mercury
Axis and Genetec have teamed up to combine Genetec's access control software with Axis's newest access control controllers. While Genetec emphasized that its program was open to various controller manufacturers and that it was not in competition with HID / Mercury, IPVM sees this as fostering a new rivalry.
In this report, based on an interview with Axis and Genetec, IPVM examines how this new "Powered By Genetec" program works and how it can impact the competitive landscape, where HID / Mercury has long been dominant in controllers and Axis, despite offering controllers for a decade, has lagged.
