Access Control System
Start your day with confidence
The Security Center Synergis™ IP access control system (ACS) heightens the security of your organization and increases your readiness to respond to incidents and threats while leveraging any existing network and security equipment investments. With advanced security measures and support for an ever-growing number of 3rd party access control devices, the Synergis system gives you the confidence to protect your people and assets.
Think differently
Security beyond the door
Historically, access control systems were concerned with securing access through a door or to a facility and managing access rights. From vendors to installers and end users, the conversation on security ended there. The security landscape has evolved and new threats, specifically cybersecurity threats, have emerged. Your access control system should not only secure your doors, but it should itself be protected from cyber-attacks.

Operator-centric security
The operator experience should always be top of mind. After all, if a system is too complex, it will lead to human error and confusion. Unfortunately, traditional ACS vendors are primarily focused on developing door control hardware, while the user experience is of secondary importance. Modern ACS solutions must commit to focusing on the operator’s perspective, empowering them through a unified and a dynamic approach to security and access rights management.

Outside the box thinking
For too long, security systems have served to strictly meet primary physical security needs like securing doors. Going beyond this conventional mindset, users should be able to do more with an ACS solution. Examples include securing server racks, medicine cabinets, and retail display cases. Taking it one step further, an ACS can complement time and attendance systems as a means of ensuring human resources compliance, as well as monitoring traffic-dense areas to enhance efficiency.

Overview
Adapted to your security demands
Whether you need to secure a large, multi-site facility, or a smaller location with a few doors, the Synergis system has the flexibility needed to adapt to your security environment. And as a key pillar of the Genetec unified platform, Security Center, you can now merge your access control needs with other security applications such as video surveillance.
With centralized credential and cardholder management, you can streamline your access control operations by managing cardholder from a single location, issuing a single credential for access to all your sites, and synchronizing cardholder access rights to all your locations.
If you are looking for a more affordable way to deploy and maintain your access control system, Software as a Service (SaaS) edition is available. Take advantage of the benefits Access Control as a Service (ACaaS) has to offer, including regular system updates and maintenance automatically delivered by Genetec without incurring any interruptions to the security operations.
