Operators of a massive new mixed-use development in Québec have deployed a centralized physical security platform to manage daily operations and accommodate long-term expansion plans.
ROYALMOUNT, a connected district featuring retail spaces, dining, cultural programming, and public parks, anticipates drawing up to 12 million visitors annually. To safeguard this high-traffic site and ensure smooth visitor movement, developers opted for the Genetec Security Center, integrating physical security with ongoing operational management.
The platform consolidates hundreds of surveillance cameras, electronic door controls, digital maps, and access schedules into a single operational interface. Security operators now can monitor all site access and video feeds through one view, rather than managing separate standalone systems. This architecture also enables the addition of new hardware and third-party security software as further construction phases are expected over the next decade.
As part of the property’s traffic and parking infrastructure, specialized automatic license plate recognition cameras process incoming vehicles in about two seconds. This setup connects directly with the venue’s payment and vehicle registration software, minimizing entry delays across the 3,600 indoor and outdoor parking stalls.
Looking ahead, management plans to expand its use of data analytics within the system to track crowd capacity, monitor foot traffic patterns, and optimize site operations during major events.
