ClearID
Genetec ClearID™ is a smarter way to manage physical access using a self-service solution for Synergis™.
ClearID plugin
The ClearID plugin is installed on a Security Center server and runs as a plugin role.
The Genetec ClearID™ Plugin integrates Genetec ClearID™ with Security Center and connects Synergis™ and ClearID cloud services. Any actions performed in ClearID are automatically synchronized with Synergis.
Security Center
Security Center is a truly unified platform that blends IP video surveillance, access control, automatic license plate recognition, intrusion detection, and communications within one intuitive and modular solution. By taking advantage of a unified approach to security, your organization becomes more efficient, makes better decisions, and responds to situations and threats with greater confidence.

The ClearID plugin is installed on a Security Center server. The plugin can be installed on the Directory or an expansion server.

Config Tool
The ClearID plugin is also installed on a Config Tool workstation. The Security Center administrator uses Config Tool to create and configure the plugin role, configure database settings, and connection settings for ClearID. You can also configure a proxy connection if required. For example, when servers do not have internet access.
Security Desk
Security Desk operators can create credentials, check in visitors, or assign and print badges.
Synergis
Security Center Synergis™ is the IP access control system (ACS) that heightens your organization’s physical security and increases your readiness to respond to threats. Synergis™ supports an ever-growing portfolio of third-party door control hardware and electronic locks. Using Synergis™, you can leverage your existing investment in network and security equipment.
