en.Wedoany.com Reported - Genetec Inc., a global provider of physical security software for enterprises, announced that 40 Leadenhall, a landmark building in the City of London, has deployed Genetec Security Center and Genetec Mission Control to create a seamless, modern experience for visitors and tenants.
Located in the capital's insurance district, 40 Leadenhall is one of the largest developments ever granted planning permission in the City of London, with a total gross floor area exceeding 900,000 square feet. It integrates commercial office space, amenities, and retail areas, accommodating up to 10,000 people. The project's original performance specifications required a unified security platform, and the selected Genetec Security Center offers the flexibility to integrate best-in-class hardware and software, supporting customized interfaces tailored to a wide range of user needs and access permissions.
The intelligent building solution includes over 200 cameras, more than 250 access control points, and 2,600 data points, all managed through Genetec Security Center and hosted on Genetec Streamvault servers and archiving appliances. Genetec Mission Control further enhances operational capabilities by standardizing incident response through advanced automation. The system can integrate with other building systems to automatically trigger workflows for events such as power outages, water leaks, or strong winds, enabling teams to proactively respond with timely notifications and targeted actions to ensure occupant safety.
In terms of access control and visitor experience, the system integrates technologies from partners including HID Global, Mercury Communications, and STid. Tenants can use mobile wallet credentials for seamless entry, while visitors receive QR code passes, eliminating the need for temporary plastic cards. Integrated cameras from Axis Communications enhance situational awareness across the site. Genetec workstations distributed throughout the building provide operators with role-based access; front desk staff can register visitors, while the control room security team can run reports, investigate incidents, and monitor live video from dedicated workstations or tablets.
By uploading interactive floor plans to Security Center, operators can quickly identify devices, investigate activities, or access live video with a single click, significantly reducing training time. The system also integrates with the 40 Leadenhall app, powered by VTS Activate, allowing tenants to issue virtual visitor passes, receive arrival notifications, and seamlessly use amenities such as wellness spaces, bicycle facilities, and the Peloton studio.
Viet Tang, Account Manager at Genetec Inc., stated that Genetec is proud to provide security for the City of London's growing portfolio of landmark buildings and considers 40 Leadenhall an outstanding example of how forward-thinking property owners can embrace unified, intelligent security. Stewart Maynard, Intelligent Systems Manager at 40 Leadenhall, noted that the Genetec security system is easy to use, enabling the team to deliver world-class service to tenants and guests, and emphasized that collaboration among the delivery, system, and service partner teams made the project a truly intelligent building.
