To monitor and control third-party intrusion panels from Security Center, you must install the Genetec™ Intrusion Protocol extension on a Security Center server and on all client workstations.
Before you begin
- Your server meets the recommended system requirements.
- A compatible version of Security Center is installed.
What you should know
- For information about adding the Genetec™ Intrusion Protocol extension to your Security Center SaaS Edition (Classic) deployment, consult the Security Center SaaS Edition (Classic) Deployment Guide 5.10.
- The Genetec Intrusion Bridge and the driver to connect to third-party intrusion panels can be installed alongside the Genetec™ Intrusion Protocol extension.
- The Genetec Intrusion Protocol Bridge and driver can be installed on a distinct server, and connect to the Genetec™ Intrusion Protocol extension hub of your intrusion manager primary server. For example, in a Security Center SaaS environment, you would install the Genetec Intrusion Protocol Bridge and panel driver on a local server within the same network as your intrusion panels. Once installed, you will connect the Genetec Intrusion Protocol Bridge to the hub of the Genetec Intrusion Protocol extension on your hosted system.
- Although it is possible to host the Intrusion Manager role on any Security Center server, it is a best practice to host that role on a dedicated expansion server for best system performance.
- For your operators to have access to the features added by this extension, you must install this extension on all Security Center client workstations.
