Genea, an Irvine, California-based access control company, launched Genea Video on October 26, 2026. The cloud-native video product sits inside its existing platform, giving customers one system, one login, and one company to call. Every clip links to the door and badge event behind it. AI search runs across all connected cameras. Genea Video works with open, non-proprietary cameras. Customers can use the Genea Gateway, an on-site appliance that connects compatible RTSP cameras, or Axis Camera-to-Cloud, which streams supported Axis cameras directly to the cloud. "Customers can continue using their existing video solutions through our open integrations or take advantage of a fully unified experience," said chief executive officer Michael Wong. It is available now through authorised integrator partners.

Genea launches cloud-native video solution for its access control platform. ET By Editorial Team October 26, 2026 Genea has launched Genea Video, a cloud-native video security solution that integrates live and recorded video, AI-powered search, and automation into the same platform customers use to manage doors and credentials. The solution gives organizations one system, one login, and a single provider for support. For many organizations, access control and video surveillance still rely on separate vendors. When an incident occurs at a door, the badge event is recorded in one system while the footage is stored in another. Although integrations can display live video alongside door events, searching footage, managing cameras, and retrieving evidence often require a separate platform with its own billing and support team. Genea Video is built and supported directly by Genea rather than being added through a third party. Each video clip is linked to the corresponding door and badge event, while AI-powered search works across connected cameras through the same portal customers already use for access control. "At Genea, we're committed to delivering innovative solutions that address our customers' evolving needs," said Michael Wong, CEO and President of Genea. "The launch of Genea Video reflects that commitment while reinforcing our core principle of providing end users with the freedom of choice. Customers can continue using their existing video solutions through our open integrations or take advantage of a fully unified experience with Genea Video. By combining AI-powered video intelligence with our cloud-native access control platform, we're delivering a more powerful, seamless security experience without compromising the flexibility and openness that define Genea." Open cameras, two ways to deploy. Genea Video supports open, non-proprietary cameras and offers two deployment options to accommodate different organizational needs. * Genea Gateway: An on-site appliance built on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin platform connects compatible RTSP cameras, records footage locally, and runs AI at the edge. This option is suitable for sites with existing camera installations and locations with limited bandwidth. * Axis Camera-to-Cloud: Supported Axis cameras stream directly to the cloud without requiring on-site hardware. This option is designed for distributed organizations, including retail chains, franchises, and branch offices. What's included at launch. Genea Video includes the following capabilities: * AI attribute search: Search across connected cameras using visual attributes, with area-of-interest search for specific parts of a video frame. * Event-linked video: Connect video clips to the door and badge events associated with an incident. * Automations: Link video, access control, and intrusion events within one platform. * Live view and recorded playback: Access video through desktop interfaces and the Genea mobile app, including custom camera walls. * Clip creation and export: Create and export video clips for sharing evidence. Unifying access control and video. Genea has spent the past decade bringing access control and video together through partner integrations. Genea Video builds on that approach by adding enhanced automation and AI-powered detection while maintaining support for non-proprietary hardware. "Genea has been on the leading edge unifying access control and video for the past decade through our partner integrations. Genea Video takes that single pane of glass to the next level by providing enhanced automation capabilities and AI detection so customers can focus on the signal without the noise," said Mike Maxsenti, SVP of Product. "Additionally, our approach allows customers not to have to compromise and buy proprietary hardware which means they keep the ultimate flexibility for the life of the system and have more choices of camera types and form factors for different needs," Maxsenti added. With Genea Video, organizations can manage video surveillance and access control through a unified cloud-native platform while retaining flexibility in camera selection and deployment.
