Every major new release is packed with a ton of updates and enhancements, some of which never make it into our public announcements. So, we end up only showcasing the most newsworthy updates in our press release, newsletters or at the events we attend. But our dilemma and objective remains in keeping you informed.
So with that said, I want to just briefly highlight some of the latest hardware integrations that were included in the most recent release of Security Center, our unified security platform, version 5.1.
First, let’s start with the new camera integrations. We have strategic alliances and aligned roadmaps with our Technology Partners, so it only makes sense that we release support for their latest technology with each major version of our security platform.

More than that, Security Center 5.1 now offers panoramic camera support meaning the entire 360 view can be viewed and recorded. The dewarped view is also supported, providing the ability to navigate around the 360 view by moving through thumbnails of the entire scene in both live and playback modes.
Sony
Newly supported Sony camera models include: SNC-EP520, SNC-EP580, SNC-ER520, SNC-ER580.
Now beyond the camera model integrations and supported functionality, there were also a few more hardware additions to Security Center 5.1 worth mentioning.
Honeywell
Galaxy Dimension intrusion panels are now supported, manual and automated arming/disarming, panel outputs and panel alarms triggering, intrusion events and alarms video viewing and panel status viewing (online/offline, armed/disarmed, alarm, trouble, etc.).
RFCode Asset Management
Security Center now supports the RF Code Asset Management plugin, which enables you to do the following:
- Synchronize RF Code assets with Security Center assets (a new entity).
- Monitor asset-related events and activities live.
- Synchronize RF Code alerts with Security Center alarms automatically.
- Acknowledge alarms in Security Center, which will clear alerts in the RF Code solution.
- View video tied to asset-related activity and alerts.
- Perform real-time tracking of asset locations using the Asset Management Inventory
reporting task.
- View events associated to tracked assets using the Asset Activity reporting task.
That was a little taste of the newly supported hardware; make sure to visit our blog again after the next new release for additional details. If you have any feedback or have other suggestions about what you would like to read more of on our blog, please drop us a comment.
