Looking for the most seamless way to bring advanced biometric access control into your existing Genetec Security Center without a major system redesign?

Suprema Plugin for Genetec Security Center brings certified, plugin-based biometric access control natively into Genetec Security Center, so organizations can add face and fingerprint authentication without redesigning their existing environment. With this native plugin, administrators can configure Suprema devices and enroll biometrics directly in a single interface instead of switching between multiple systems, while benefiting from Suprema’s AI-powered biometric access control technologies.

Native Plugin & Seamless Biometric Enrollment

Suprema–Genetec integration is delivered as a native plugin inside Security Center, not as a separate middleware application. This native plugin enables biometric authentication for access control using Suprema devices, while allowing device configuration and biometric policy management directly within Genetec Security Center interface.

Once the plugin is installed, users can also enroll cardholders’ face and fingerprint authentication template data directly in Security Center—no additional enrollment software is required. This easy enrollment capability keeps administrators in a single, familiar workflow, reduces training and operational overhead, and simplifies deployment for integrators.

Offline-Resilience and AI Performance at the Edge

Suprema’s edge AI design delivers strong offline resilience. Biometric decisions are processed directly on the device, so the system can continue to authenticate cardholders and control doors even when the network connection is temporarily unavailable. When connectivity is restored, offline events are automatically uploaded, helping maintain both security visibility and operational continuity.

Suprema’s AI-powered biometric access control devices with embedded NPUs—including BioStation 3 Max, BioStation 3, BioEntry W3, and BioStation 2a—provide highly accurate and fast facial authentication and fingerprint recognition, even in challenging conditions. They deliver reliable performance across changes in facial appearance and varying lighting, supporting common variations such as glasses, masks, and hairstyle changes, as well as robust fingerprint matching in noisy or distorted environments.

Flexible Multi-Factor Authentication Support

The integration supports a flexible deployment model where biometrics can be applied to high‑security areas—such as data centers, R&D labs, and executive zones—while non‑biometric readers continue to secure standard access points within the same Genetec ecosystem. Suprema edge AI devices also enable multi‑factor authentication (MFA), allowing organizations to combine biometrics with RFID cards, PINs, mobile, or QR codes based on their security and usability needs.

With this combination of MFA and mixed biometric/non‑biometric deployments, security teams can apply stronger controls where they matter most, use traditional credentials where they are sufficient, and still manage all cardholders, credentials, and events centrally in Genetec Security Center.

Lower Deployment Complexity and Cost

Suprema’s edge AI biometrics access control devices reduce the need for separate controllers in many scenarios, allowing devices to connect more directly into the system architecture. With no dedicated controllers or middleware, organizations can lower installation and maintenance requirements, reduce potential points of failure, and streamline infrastructure for both new deployments and future upgrades.

For organizations already using Genetec Security Center, the path to biometrics is straightforward: deploy Suprema devices, activate the plugin, and start using biometric credentials within the existing platform.

What this means for Genetec users

For Genetec Security Center customers, this integration makes biometric access control practical to deploy and operate at scale, not just technically possible. A certified plugin model, combined with AI powered edge devices, strengthens access control without turning it into a complex custom integration project. The outcome is an access control architecture that is easier to roll out, simpler to manage, and flexible enough to support both biometric and non biometric doors in a single system. In short, the Suprema–Genetec integration is about making advanced biometric access control genuinely usable in day to day security operations.
