The City of Edinburgh Council has adopted Genetec Security Center as the backbone of its smart city strategy, focusing on efficient resource management and improved public services. The council’s outdated public space security system was a key barrier, but Genetec’s unified platform has enabled the integration of new applications and technologies. The Smart City Operations Centre has been launched with funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
With Genetec’s platform in place, Edinburgh has expanded CCTV coverage in public spaces and enabled secure data sharing with partners. The system supports day-to-day operations, event management, and extends its capabilities beyond physical security. This has led to enhanced public safety, improved services, and optimized traffic flow, delivering massive benefits for Edinburgh residents.
