In the last months, the Genetec protocol has improved a lot. I compiled a list of the different features that are currently supported in Omnicast 4.4 and new features that will be available in 4.5 later this year.

Security Center GA is available!!
After going through our beta cycle with a few customers this summer. We finally released the general availability of Security Center 3.0 this week.
The engineering team is very proud of Security Center 3.0, it's the beginning of a totally new generation. When we started Omnicast in 1999, we said nobody will have 1000 cameras in a single systems, now with Omnicast 4.x, we have customer running 20 000 cameras of the federation and 5000 cameras in a flat system. Now, developer nobody will have 2 000 000 cameras...
We started building this new platform 5 years ago as an access control product but we always design with high scalability objectives and convergence between video and access.
The other factor that help in the next platform, it's the fact that software engineering tools and languages evolved a lot in the last 10 years and this new platform leverage key technologies to improve performance and end user experience. We spent a lot of hours thinking about operator's task, we had someone full-time just focusing on usability. We did 3 iterations and prototypes, we even tested the Security Desk with a business partner in a usability lab.
The 3.0 release is just the beginning, there are a lot of impressive stuff coming in the next releases.
Next week, I will be at ASIS in the Genetec booth most of time doing demos of Security Center.
