Genetec is a global security management provider with over 42,500 customers and the world’s leading video surveillance software. Genetec Security Center unifies customer data from multiple sources, including lidar, cameras and radar, so that users can manage security policies, monitor events, and run investigations all in one place. With this integration, existing Genetec customers can effortlessly harness the power of Ouster Gemini directly through their existing Genetec dashboard.
What is Ouster Gemini?
Ouster Gemini is a cutting edge detection system that combines Ouster's digital lidar sensors and Ouster’s AI-enabled perception software for accurate classification, detection and tracking of perimeters, sites and indoor facilities. Deployments include data centers, defense and utility sites, enterprise office buildings, yards, and ports.
The benefits of Ouster Gemini for security are far-reaching and include:
Detection accuracy: Accurately detect, classify and track people and different types of vehicles in 3D with centimeter level detection accuracy at range.
3D alert zones: Inclusion and exclusion zones of any shape and size can be created in Ouster Gemini’s UI, triggering automatic alerts for real security events that guide cameras directly to the point of intrusion.
Reliability: Consistent performance in all weather and lighting conditions, such as rain, snow and fog, provides reliability in all outdoor environments.
TCO: High resolution digital lidar sensors cover large outdoor spaces, reducing infrastructure spend of other sensors or cameras for a greater total cost of ownership.
Operational efficiencies: Ouster’s digital lidar sensors collect 5 million points of data per second, providing additional insights beyond intrusion detection. This includes people counting for safety purposes, or operations insights such as dwell times and space capacity.
Privacy: Lidar does not collect any personal identifiable information, helping customer adhere to privacy regulations.

A security advantage for Genetec Security Center customers
By incorporating Ouster Gemini into Genetec RSA, customers benefit from all of the advantages of a 3D lidar perimeter intrusion detection system (PIDS) directly into the RSA dashboard. Ouster Gemini seamlessly integrates with existing Deter, Delay, and Incident Response (IR) infrastructure and requires no specialized training for security personnel.
Ouster’s lidar sensors are installed similarly to cameras—with a mount and ethernet connection—making installation fast and easy. Following the integration into Genetec RSA, detected intrusions can trigger alerts, event recordings on cameras, and PTZ cameras to slew to the exact point of intrusion(s).
Integration demonstration: Ouster Gemini detects, alerts and tracks through Genetec Security Center, slewing a PTZ camera to the point of intrusion.
The Ouster Gemini integration into Genetec RSA was centered around four key goals:
1. Easy zone and tracker setup in RSA: After the Ouster Gemini RSA plugin is installed and a Genetec Security Center tracker is configured, all lidars and detection zones are auto-discovered and placed precisely on the site map inside Genetec Security Center.
2. Precise location tracking and event recording: An object’s 3D geoposition information in Ouster Gemini is instantaneously reflected through RSA, making real-time tracking smooth for security personnel. All events can be recorded for easy post-event analysis.
3. Centralized health monitoring: All system health information of Ouster Gemini is located in Genetec RSA alongside a customer’s other Deter and IR systems. Security personnel can configure Genetec RSA alerts for any system issues, such as a power issue causing a lidar sensor to go offline.
