Users of Genetec Security Center can now supplement access cards and PIN codes with fingerprint authentication from ievo Ltd.ievo, a biometric fingerprint solutions developer based in the North East, has joined Genetec’s technology partnership programme. Fingerprint authentication systems from the company can now be integrated with Genetec’s flagship, unified, open-architecture platform, Security Center.
Security Center combines video management systems (VMS) with access control infrastructures, VoIP communications and analytics.
A single set of registered Genetec credentials, rather than multiple credentials, can give users access to ievo fingerprint authentication. Security Center communicates with ievo systems via the ievo central SQL distribution software so that user permissions are distributed to access hardware.
Registered Genetec credentials can be ported and used in the ievo user enrolment software.
