Genetec™, a global leader in unified IP security systems recently announced the “Smart Analog Package” designed to provide analog users with the simplest path to access the greater flexibility and capabilities available with an IP-based video surveillance system, while still protecting their investment in analog cameras and infrastructure. As analog users look to upgrade to more capable and versatile IP-based video surveillance systems, many still have a sizable investment in analog devices that are not at the end of their usefulness. To help manage this transition, the Smart Analog Package has been created to enable users to choose from the industry’s most affordable video encoders that will allow them to preserve their existing analog video equipment, while giving them access to Genetec’s industry leading video management software (VMS).
The package will be broadly available to all Genetec Certified channel partners through Ingram Micro for a limited time, with orders accepted the first week of October, and ending March 31st, 2014.The promotion will initially be introduced to the United States and Canadian markets at US 2,090 (MSRP) via a special bundle that includes Genetec’s latest Security Center 5.2 platform with 1-year software support and maintenance, and the VIP X16 XF E—a 16-channel video encoder that provides excellent image quality while minimising bandwidth and storage requirements—from Bosch Security Systems, Inc.
