Genetec has announced the introduction of advanced mapping functionalities in Genetec Cloudrunner, its vehicle-centric investigative system.
The company states the new Report Map and Device Map features give law enforcement and security professionals the ability to visualise ALPR (Automatic License Plate Recognition) information in an intuitive map interface, significantly improving investigative reach and operational efficiency.
The Device Map
The Device Map feature enables investigators to see all connected Cloudrunner cameras around an investigation site.
If they don’t have access to a camera in a key location, they can initiate a third-party partnership request directly from within the map to obtain relevant data.
This process strengthens collaboration between law enforcement agencies, businesses and security stakeholders, expanding investigative reach and enhancing overall security efforts.
The Report Map
The Report Map feature provides an additional way to visualise vehicle-based data. It allows users to narrow down vehicle searches by selecting a geographic area on the map.
According to the company, investigators can quickly visualise where reads and hits occur, uncover movement patterns and analyse vehicle behavior, such as frequency and travel routes.
Advanced filtering by characteristics like colour, make and partial plate numbers further refines searches, revealing where and how often specific vehicles have been detected.
The company says this provides valuable insights, helping investigators determine patterns of movement and potential crime hotspots.
“Quickly extract meaningful insights”
Larry Legere, Commercial Director, Genetec commented: “With Cloudrunner’s new mapping tools, law enforcement, security directors and loss prevention officers can quickly extract meaningful insights and act decisively.
“Whether investigating a crime in a dense urban area or tracking a vehicle of interest across jurisdictions, the new Cloudrunner mapping features provide them with a visual perspective to better understand the situation and plan an appropriate course of action,” Legere concluded.
Availability
According to the company the new mapping features are now available to Genetec Cloudrunner users in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Customers can access these capabilities instantly with no additional costs or setup required.
