- Device management
  - Adding devices
    To add your devices you can scan a QR code, enter the information manually, or automatically discover devices on the local network.
  - How firmware and software updates work
    To keep your devices secure and up-to-date, Security Center SaaS automatically updates the firmware and software applications for various appliances and video units.
  - About firmware updates for access control appliances
    To keep your access control appliances secure and up to date, you must have the latest firmware installed.
  - Updating camera capabilities manually
    To take advantage of new camera features as they become available, you can manually update camera capabilities. This is useful when a system integrator or end-user changes the camera configuration or when features are added after camera enrollment.
  - Filtering and sorting devices
    To facilitate device management, you can filter and sort devices by specific criteria on the Devices page in Genetec™ Configuration.
  - Deleting devices
    Delete a device that is no longer required or is in an error state, or delete a device to enroll it again.
  - About recording profiles
    A recording profile is a configuration for multiple cameras containing predefined camera settings, including settings for retention period, storage location, resolution, frame rate, and bit rate.
  - Adding recording profiles
    To remove friction during large-scale camera deployments and for consistent configurations across multiple cameras, you can use recording profiles to specify video, storage, and retention settings.
  - Configuring custom camera settings
    To manage camera-specific settings and disassociate specific cameras from recording profiles, you can configure custom settings for a camera.
  - Configuring sensor-specific custom camera settings
    To manage sensor-settings and disassociate from recording profiles, you can configure custom settings for sensors on a multisensor camera.
  - How fisheye cameras work in Security Center SaaS
    Security Center SaaS supports the enrollment of fisheye cameras and can dewarp live and playback video from direct-to-cloud and managed Archiver cameras.
  - How video timeline thumbnails work in Security Center SaaS
    In Security Center SaaS, video thumbnails on the timeline help you navigate and review a video. To quickly and easily find a person or object of interest, you can scrub the timeline to visually scan thumbnails from hours of video footage.
  - How privacy protection works in Security Center SaaS
    In Security Center SaaS, privacy protection anonymizes video by pixelating parts of a video stream where movement is detected. The identity of individuals or moving objects is protected, without obscuring movements and actions or preventing monitoring.
  - How camera analytics events work in Security Center SaaS
    An event is a record of an activity or incident that occurred in the system. Security personnel can monitor events in real time and investigate them later. Events can also trigger automations in the system.
  - How camera metadata works in Security Center SaaS
    A camera analytics event is part of the camera metadata stream. Camera metadata is used by intelligent search to help identify people or vehicles that match specific characteristics.
  - Adding Axis direct-to-cloud intercoms
    To enable operator communication with Axis direct-to-cloud (D2C) intercoms, add them to Security Center SaaS.
  - Configuring Axis direct-to-cloud intercoms
    After you add an Axis direct-to-cloud intercom to Security Center SaaS, you can configure the intercom's camera and intercom sensors.
  - How intrusion detection works in Security Center SaaS
    Security Center SaaS connects to third-party intrusion panels using the Intrusion application that runs on Genetec Cloudlink™ appliances. Once connected, you can monitor, control, and generate reports for the intrusion panels.
  - Preparing a Bosch intrusion panel to add to Security Center SaaS
    Configure the settings on your Bosch intrusion panel before adding the panel to Security Center SaaS.
  - Adding Bosch intrusion panels
    To monitor, control, and report on a Bosch intrusion panel, you must add it to a Genetec Cloudlink™ appliance in Security Center SaaS.
    - Best practices for connecting intrusion panels to the network
      To ensure performance and security, it’s considered a best practice to host your intrusion panels on an isolated network.
    - How Bosch inputs are displayed in Security Center SaaS
      Before configuring the inputs of a Bosch panel, you must understand how its contact types are displayed in Security Center SaaS.
    - Ethernet module compatibility for Bosch intrusion panel integration in Security Center SaaS
      To communicate with Security Center SaaS over an IP network, Bosch B series intrusion panels have an onboard Ethernet module.
    - Enabling communication with Security Center SaaS using the B426 Ethernet module
      After you’ve configured your Bosch intrusion panel, you can enable communication with Security Center SaaS using a B426 Ethernet module.
    - Enabling remote triggers for Bosch intrusion areas
      Intrusion areas on a Bosch intrusion panel can be remotely triggered from Security Center SaaS by configuring a virtual output point in Bosch Remote Programming Software (RPS) and Genetec™ Configuration desktop.
    - Deleting an intrusion panel
      If an intrusion panel is no longer in use, you can delete it from the Genetec™ Intrusion Bridge.
  - Configuring Bosch intrusion panel settings
    If you modify the settings on a Bosch intrusion panel, you must update the corresponding settings to ensure proper synchronization.

Enabling remote triggers for Bosch intrusion areas

2026-01-20

Intrusion areas on a Bosch intrusion panel can be remotely triggered from Security Center SaaS by configuring a virtual output point in Bosch Remote Programming Software (RPS) and Genetec™ Configuration desktop.

What you should know

When a virtual output is configured, users can trigger intrusion panel workflows, such as activating horns and sirens, or contacting the authorities. For more information about configuring a Point Source as an Output using Bosch RPS, see Bosch documentation.

Procedure

In the POINTS section of the Bosch RPS, create a new point and set the Point Source to Output for each point on the panel that you want to use to trigger an alarm.
Configure the profile and area for each point.
This enables the points to trigger alarms in their associated areas in Security Center SaaS.
Configure Security Center SaaS to trigger alarms on intrusion panels.

You can now use the Trigger intrusion alarm command in the Intrusion detection area widget. This triggers alarms for the configured areas in Security Center SaaS.

Note:

If an alarm is silenced from the panel, the associated area doesn’t enter a Silent state in Security Center SaaS. The area displays a Normal state.

After you finish

Assign the outputs to trigger alarms.
