Emerging Technologies to Consider for 2027

Discover innovative security solutions that could strengthen your systems and support your long-term technology strategy.

As part of our ongoing commitment to being trusted security advisors, our Innovation Team continuously evaluates new and emerging technologies that enhance situational awareness, improve response times, and strengthen physical security programs.

Below is a snapshot of new technologies we are actively reviewing and supporting that integrate with modern security platforms such as Genetec Security Center.

Wireless Data Transmission

RADWIN

RADWIN provides Point-to-Point wireless data transmission with a high quality line of radio models.

Key Benefits

• Wireless data when getting network to a location is not possible or less feasible than wireless transmission
• Utilizes 60 Ghz frequency on their Terranet models (and 5 GHZ on Jet Duo models) 
• 2300 Mpbs throughput on Terranet models
• Beamforming antennas with auto-alignment

Deployment: On-Prem

Backup Power

SFC

SFC’s EFOY product provides backup power for solar applications using methanol as fuel for their fuel cells.

Key Benefits

• When weather doesn’t provide enough sun for solar panels, EFOY kicks in
• Uses methanol as its fuel, with the only byproducts being heat and water
• An excellent addition to a battery backup system for mobile security units, PIDS, remote cabinets
• Online monitoring provides information on status, fuel levels and power data

Deployment: Remote locations/PIDS/MCUs

M12 Switches for Transit

TRONTEQ

TRONTEQ’s line of transit-rated M12 connection switchgears provide multiple options for port count and PoE budgets.

Key Benefits

• Compared to others, TRONTEQ offers heavier PoE budgets and more ports
• Small but ruggedized form factor is designed for tight spaces within transit cabinets
• ITxPT approved
• Meets International Rail standards

Deployment: Rolling Stock

Surveillance for Extra Large Spaces/Perimeters

Dallmeier

Dallmeier’s Panomera camera provides maximum resolution coverage for very large spaces.

Key Benefits

• With up to 8 lenses on a single camera, Panomera uses 1 lens for overall scene and switches to the other lenses when digitally zooming
• This provides for excellent resolution maintenance by meeting pixels per foot on targets
• Less data drops/less cameras needed for large spaces
• Genetec plugin

Deployment: On‑Prem
Website: Dallmeier Panomera

AI/Human Weapons Detection

Zero Eyes

Zero Eyes weapons detection camera analytic uses AI to initially detect a weapon, then hands the alert over to monitoring centers for human verification.

Key Benefits

• Leverages existing camera infrastructure, reducing capital expenditures for extra equipment
• 24/7/365 Monitoring Operations Center is staffed by trained Armed Forces veterans and former law enforcement personnel
• DHS SAFETY Act designation provides additional market credibility
• New transit application for Rolling Stock

Deployment: Hybrid
