Regal announces new partnership

Issue 4 2023 Surveillance

Having a bird’s eye view of your surveillance data, with the capability to drill down to the details obtained via connected security solutions, is a game changer for security operators, companies and even officers on the ground. The technology behind Genetec, which has just appointed Regal Security as its distribution partner for South Africa, provides the means to do just that.

Genetec is the undoubtedly the world leader in video management systems. In addition to this partnership being another feather in their rather large hat, it allows Regal to expand its Projects Team solution offering. With its unique capability to unify physical security activities, functions, and data, and bolstered by the technology behind Regal’s existing partners, Genetec levels the playing field between criminal and guardian.

As an overall security solutions provider, Regal can provide unified high-end security solutions with the likes of Hanwha Vision, DMP, IDEMIA and OPTEX, as well as high-quality data storage from Seagate, with Genetec’s powerful VMS, Security Centre 5.11. This same platform offers advanced features such as video analytics, intrusion detection and incident management, empowering security systems, officers and managers to proactively respond to potential threats before they escalate.

And more than physical security, Genetec also provides strategies to prevent cyberattacks on security systems. These include at-the-edge security, encryption, authentication and authorisation.

“With over 30 branches across South Africa from which you can access over 4500 security products, and a highly skilled, knowledgeable technical team to call on, the Regal Projects Team is the security brains trust for any size project,” says Michael Collier, Head of Product Management at Regal Security. “Whether you’re looking to secure a golf course, a commercial business park, or even a residential estate, we can tailor-make a solution that answers current needs, addresses risk, and remains scalable for whatever may happen in the future.

“Regal’s latest partnerships, Hanwha Vision and Genetec, puts us in the enviable position of being able to service new projects, assist in the evolution of existing projects and ensure old projects are upgraded to peak performance,” adds Collier. “Our commitment at Regal is to help our customers succeed, and in doing so, our Projects Team is committed to providing comprehensive, cost effective and fit for purpose security solutions for a wide range of projects.”

Through Genetec’s real-time unification platform, false alarms are reduced, efficiency is improved, and security becomes data-driven with critical role-based information available at the click of a button. In addition, Hanwha Vision’s powerful AI technology keeps a watch on what’s happening on the ground, detecting and classifying people, vehicles, faces and licence plates, also in real-time. The Hanwha Vision system sends this data back to Genetec’s Security Centre for interpretation and analysis, putting the power of protection and prevention into the project owner’s hands.
