Genetec to explain its vision for smart cities at Smart City Expo

Hybrid infrastructure, Responsible AI and security shape the vision of Genetec to turn cities into connected ecosystems, protected and habitable thanks to technological integration.

Smart City Expo World Congress 2025, which is celebrated from 4 al 6 from November to Barcelona Fair, the manufacturer Genetec will participate with Dell (pavilion 2 – booth 131) y Axis Communications (pavilion 2 – booth 121), para mostrar y compartir su visión sobre el papel central de la connected security in the development of smart cities.

“Without connected security, a city remains rich in data, but poor in information -explains Andreas Flemming, sales area director DACH of Genetec-. Security infrastructure not only protects, but it becomes the database for urban decision making, from traffic management to emergency coordination”.

Genetec defines the smart city as a connected ecosystem in which intelligence, transparency and collaboration are key. In this framework, are plataforma Security Center integrates into a single interface video surveillance systems, access control, IoT sensors, traffic analysis and emergency communications.

All this allows urban authorities to take faster decisions, based on reliable data, and generate trust in citizens thanks to transparent and secure management.

During the event, The company will explain to attendees how this vision has materialized in success stories. An example of this is the creation of a Smart city operations center in Edinburgh powered by Genetec, which has allowed video management to be centralized, IoT and traffic, and the resulting savings in work hours and a better incident resolution rate.

In it Port of Barcelona, The recent migration to the Genetec Security Center platform has facilitated the integration of more than five hundred security devices, including video surveillance equipment, access control and IoT components (more information at Digital Security).

Thanks to it, This installation has managed to improve response speed and has reduced maintenance costs, In addition, it has laid the foundations for new applications, such as drone integration and traffic flow analysis.

Another key element is the commitment to a AI responsible, under the principle human-in-the-loop, where automated analysis never replaces human decision. Besides, Genetec applies a privacy by design with tools like KiwiVision privacy protector, that guarantees data protection and transparency in the use of video surveillance.

Among the main trends that will mark the evolution of smart cities, Genetec identifies four:

Hybrid infrastructures in the cloud for greater scalability.

AI responsible, with traceability and human control.

Automation in real-time decision making.

Open platforms and interoperable that ensure resilience and technological evolution.

“Las smart cities They will only be successful if they are able to integrate their infrastructures securely and transparently., placing the citizen at the center”, Flemming concludes..
