FlytBase Plugin for Genetec Security Center

The integration of FlytBase into Genetec Security Center via a plugin transforms security management by combining the power of automated drones with Genetec’s advanced features. FlytBase serves as the backbone for seamless drone operations, enabling the use of GPS data, drone cameras with PTZ control, DockStation cameras, metadata, and video playback. Organizations gain a comprehensive and unified solution to address evolving security needs.

• Centralized management of the drone fleet and associated equipment: Drones and their cameras (including those from charging stations managed by FlytBase) are fully integrated into Genetec Security Center, providing a consolidated and real-time overview. GPS data, drone metadata (battery, temperature, etc.), and video feeds are directly accessible through FlytBase, enabling precise tracking and simplified management.

• Rapid response and targeted deployment on mapping: Leveraging FlytBase’s geolocation and mapping tracking features, operators can direct drones to specific points of interest or initiate surveillance missions in response to incidents. This enhances the responsiveness of security teams by delivering flexible and mobile coverage in hard-to-reach areas.

• Reduction of operational costs: Through centralized management and mission automation, FlytBase integration helps reduce costs associated with drone operations and human resource management, while improving the efficiency of security teams.

• GPS position transmission and dispatch to FlytBase: From Security Desk, operators can transmit a GPS position to FlytBase in two ways. In manual mode, a single click on the map or from a geolocated event / alarm is all it takes to send the coordinates. In automatic mode, whenever a Genetec alarm contains GPS coordinates, the position is transmitted to FlytBase without any human intervention. Once the position is received, the FlytBase pilot decides whether to deploy the drone — or the drone takes off automatically based on your FlytBase configuration.

In summary, the integration of FlytBase and drones into Genetec Security Center represents a strategic advancement for organizations aiming to enhance their security measures. Through centralized management, real-time tracking, and mission-specific capabilities powered by FlytBase, this solution strengthens site security by improving the efficiency and responsiveness of security teams.
