Genetec’s Synergis IX arrives in New Zealand

The new Synergis IX line of hardware provides a gateway to unified security through the Genetec Security Center platform, enabling customers to manage all of their security systems on a single interface.

In a series of recent launches, Genetec has introduced Synergis IX, its new line of hardware that combines access control and intrusion monitoring. The new devices are designed to work with the Genetec Security Center platform to unify access control and intrusion functions with video surveillance, communications and more.

Synergis IX is available immediately in New Zealand and Australia from Genetec partner Hills Limited.

Combining access control and intrusion devices in a single platform, the new hardware line will deliver significantly reduced installation time and total cost of ownership, improved operational efficiencies and greater insight for customers into their security environment.

“For both regulatory and practical reasons, our customers in Australia and New Zealand require hybrid solutions that offer both access control and intrusion in one device,” said Thibaut Louvet, Director of Access Control Product Group at Genetec.

“Synergis IX provides this allin-one access control and intrusion monitoring solution but opens the door to greater efficiency through Security Center, which unifies video surveillance, communications and other security systems under the same platform.”

“Our open-platform solution has been welcomed by our local partner network, as it allows them to combine different access control components to suit customers’ needs rather than locking users into a proprietary system,” said Philippe Ouimette, Genetec’s Australiabased Director Strategic Partnerships.

“An organisation’s physical security systems management can and should go well beyond integration of disparate solutions,” Ouimette continued. “With Genetec, organisations have the option to unify management of Synergis IX into our Security Center platform and natively leverage other core capabilities such as our award-winning video management system, license plate recognition, intercom systems management and analytics.”

“Having all security related information and management controls unified in one open platform simplifies the management of physical security solutions, helping organisations make sure operations are running smoothly and that people, facilities and data are safe.”

Synergis IX helps reduce total cost of ownership by unifying access control and intrusion hardware into one.

Featuring a broad range of hybrid controllers, modules, readers, and keypads, Synergis IX enables users to control and monitor a scalable number of intrusion areas, doors, cardholders, and other field devices regardless of geographical location.

With digital certificate support, claims-based authentication, and end-toend encrypted communications, security throughout every layer of the architecture is ensured.

“The security market in Australia and New Zealand continues to grow at an exponential rate, with a tremendous appetite for solutions that enable customers to manage all of their security systems on a single interface. We are excited to work with our partners Hills Limited to bring Synergis IX to the ANZ market,” said Daniel Lee, Managing Director for Genetec APAC.
