  • AMG switches now Genetec certified, enhancing Security Center integration and control capabilities.
  • Integration provides real-time alerts, network insights, and proactive management for AMG and Genetec users.
  • Certification boosts AMG and Genetec collaboration, empowering users with advanced switch management features.

AMG Systems, headquartered in both the United Kingdom and the USA, has successfully achieved certification from Genetec for its integration with the Genetec Security Center.

This development means that AMG’s industrial and commercial-grade switches are now recognized within the Genetec environment as native entities, providing users with enhanced control and alarm capabilities.

Integration Purpose and Benefits

The integration of AMG switches into the Genetec Security Center empowers users by offering insights and control over AMG's range of switches, specifically the AMG570 and AMG510 series.

Known for its robust, enterprise-level capability, the Genetec Security Center is designed for multi-site, security-focused environments demanding scalable and unified management solutions.

Expert Insights

Steve Clarke, Managing Director of AMG, stated, “Our team has worked closely with the Genetec certification team. We view Genetec as one of the top video management systems (VMS) platforms, and being certified by Genetec will be a major benefit to both companies’ customers. AMG switches can be discovered and added as native Genetec entities, allowing users to manage and monitor their network infrastructure of AMG products to gain insight into their switch state directly from the VMS. Very few switch manufacturers have this certification.

Thibaut Louvet, Senior Director of Professional Services at Genetec, further added, “Genetec has completed a thorough evaluation of AMG Systems Ltd’s Network Device Management integration against the provided use cases and concluded that it meets Genetec’s functionality and quality criteria. Considering this, we confirm that AMG Systems’ Network Device Management integration is now certified by the Development Acceleration Program (DAP) to run with the Genetec Security Center.

Advantages for Users

Tom Exley, Technical Director at AMG, highlighted, “Integrating AMG switches within the Genetec Security Center will allow smart alerting and provide real-time alerts to ensure a proactive response to any network-related issues, control switch ports, Power-over-Ethernet, and contact closure inputs and outputs from within the Genetec software. Users gain insight into the health and status of the network with switch and port statistics, including ARP cache and MAC table monitoring.

Exley continued, “Harnessing the Genetec automation rules to trigger contact closures or shutdown ports without the requirement of manual interventions. The Genetec Security Center integration is a major advancement for the acceptance of AMG switches and gives Genetec users another strong reason to use AMG in their applications.

Product Range and Commitment

AMG Systems emphasizes its commitment to advancing transmission technology by maintaining a readily available inventory and providing support through its design team.

The company offers a wide assortment of fiber optic, copper, and wireless Ethernet, video, and data transmission equipment designed to cater to the security, intelligent transportation systems, utility, and industrial markets.
