Genetec Health Audit
Field check generator · v1.0
A Genetec environment can pass a basic smell test and still hide risk in architecture, storage, monitoring, security, and lifecycle. Work through this before it shows up as an outage, an archive gap, a failed upgrade, or an audit finding.
Ten sections, roughly eighty questions, about fifteen minutes for a system you know. Tap PASS, FAIL, or N/A for each. Add a field note where context matters. When you are done, download the PDF or hand it off via the email button. Runs entirely in your browser. No data leaves your device.
What this tool is
A field-grade Genetec Security Center health check. Ten sections, severity-ranked questions, free-form field notes, and a generated PDF report you can attach to a deliverable. Built from a working integrator's checklist used on real systems across federal, public-safety, and enterprise sites.
How to use it
- Open it on the device you are auditing from. A phone or laptop in a server closet works.
- Enter the system name (required), site, and your name. The PDF references these.
- Walk the sections in order or jump around. Progress is tracked at the top.
- Mark PASS, FAIL, or N/A. Tap an answer again to clear it. Add a field note where the answer needs context.
- When done, hit Save PDF report for a download, or Email report to download and open a draft for sending.
Where the checklist comes from
The question set was distilled from a working integrator's field practice across years of Genetec deployments. Severity assignments are a starting opinion drawn from incident frequency and operational impact. Adjust per engagement if your context disagrees. The same schema can carry an Axis, Avigilon, or Milestone checklist without code changes; only the data file would swap.

The tool runs entirely in your browser. The PDF is generated locally. Answers, field notes, and metadata are not transmitted anywhere. Close the tab and the session is gone. Save the PDF before you leave the page.

The tool generates a report. It does not fix the findings. Treat the output as a working punch list. If the deployment is yours to run, work through it. If it is an engagement, hand it off with the field notes intact.
