International. Genetec added privacy and camera performance monitoring capabilities to its premium maintenance program, Genetec Advantage™.
In addition to software updates, premium support and system monitoring, Genetec Advantage now includes KiwiVision™ Privacy Protector™ and KiwiVision™ Camera Integrity Monitor licenses for all new and existing Genetec Advantage subscribers*.
To meet the public's growing expectations for privacy and comply with global regulations, KiwiVision ™ Privacy Protector ™ automatically blurs the faces of people captured within a camera's field of view, so that security operators only see what they need to see. Being able to access images without blurring requires an additional level of access permissions that is used only when an event merits an investigation. Additionally, audit evidence is maintained showing who accessed the additional information and why.
With the addition of KiwiVision™ Camera Integrity Monitor, customers can ensure their cameras are operational and efficient at all times. The camera integrity monitor notifies operators when a camera may have been tampered with, if there is a decrease in quality, or if there are abrupt changes in camera position due to environmental or human causes. This is especially useful in large systems involving hundreds or thousands of cameras where it is almost impossible to manually verify the image and field of view of each camera.
"As physical security systems become increasingly complex, it is critical to know that these systems are up-to-date, working as they should, and integrating the latest functionalities in terms of privacy and performance," said Julie Gauthier, director of global operations and technical support at Genetec. "Genetec Advantage™ is the best way to get the most out of your Genetec solution and ensure your system has peak performance. By providing licenses* of KiwiVision™ Privacy Protector™ and Camera Integrity Monitor, we are adding tools to help our customers maintain the integrity of their system and protect the privacy of people left in view of surveillance cameras, without sacrificing security."
