What is Genetec Omnicast™
Beyond CCTV: The Intelligence of Omnicast™ VMS
Hardware-Agnostic Flexibility:
Omnicast is built on a truly open architecture, supporting over 300 camera manufacturers and thousands of different models. You are never locked into a single proprietary brand.
The Power of Unification:
It is not a standalone system. Omnicast seamlessly blends with access control (Synergis) and license plate recognition (AutoVu), allowing operators to view correlated video the moment a door is forced or a flagged vehicle enters a garage.
Built for Scalability:
Whether managing 50 cameras in a single building or 150,000 across a global campus, Omnicast’s powerful architecture ensures your day-to-day operations remain undisrupted even as your system grows.
Enterprise Reliability:
With built-in failover and 99.9% archiver uptime, your security team never loses access to live or recorded video - ensuring a complete chain of custody for every incident.
