If you choose to implement your access control on genetec, you need to gather the following stuff:
- A license and Genetec software which is called security center
- A computer
- Synergis cloud link
- Door controllers and
- The access control devices

Genetec access control License and software
First of all, you need to download a software and install it on a computer, then you will ask you to apply the license. This is how genetic makes money.
Genetec provides computers with security center installed as well. It calls them Streamvolts,

Synergis cloud link
It is an intelligent controller that makes a connection between the controllers and the software. It is the gateway to the software of many non-intelligent controllers from different suppliers such as Mercury Security, HID Global and, Axis communications, electronic locks from ASSA ABLOY..etc
A cloud link is a POE and 9-16 VDC powered as well. It is also an IoT, meaning that it can be connected to the internet for an online connection.
The cloud link has a memory, so it stocks some data from the server and can take decisions even if it loses the connection to the server.
Door controllers
There are two categories of controllers, IP and Non IP.
The IP controller collects information from non IP controllers. For example, door status and communicate them to the cloud link.
The communication between the IP controllers and non IP is through RS 485.
The detection and status devices on the doors are connected to the door controllers. As a matter of fact, the controllers send the status (door closed or open, door secured) and the events (alarm, card reading)

Controllers don’t have memory. Then, there would no granting access when the connection to the cloud link is off.
Cloud Link has memory. It is responsible for many operations. Consequently, it is disconnected from the system, there could be troubles.
Genetec is a software provider, so it integrates many manufacturers brands, like mercury, HID, Assa abloy, Salto …
