The company sells its proprietary Synergy software platform, COEX camera hardware, and systems integration services under multi-year contracts spanning critical infrastructure, energy, public space, transport, and gaming/casino sectors.

Product overview

Synectics provides a platform-based portfolio anchored by the Synergy security and surveillance platform, which serves as the unified core technology for security management, situational awareness, and system integration. The Synergy platform is complemented by the COEX camera station hardware product line, the Synergy mobile application for field connectivity, and recording management software. The company operates through two complementary divisions: Synectic Systems (global projects and Synergy technology deployment) and Ocular Integration (UK-focused systems integration).

Broad incumbents

• Axis Communications: Global leader in network cameras and video surveillance infrastructure — competes with Synectics at the hardware/periphery layer and as part of complete system deployments, particularly for transport and city-surveillance applications.
• Bosch Security Systems: Major security/surveillance systems provider with broad hardware, software, and integration capabilities — comparable to Synectics at the systems-integration level for large critical-infrastructure and public-safety projects.
• Verint Systems: Large enterprise surveillance and workforce engagement vendor with significant video analytics and situational awareness offerings — comparable at the analytics-and-operations-intelligence layer, though broader portfolio than Synectics' vertical focus.
• Hikvision: World's largest video surveillance equipment manufacturer with broad smart-city, transport, and enterprise offerings — overlaps with Synectics' full-stack surveillance positioning, though operates at vastly greater scale.
• Honeywell Building Technologies: Enterprise security and building-management portfolio including video surveillance and access control — overlaps with Synectics in large-scale integrated security deployments for transport, utilities, and public-space markets.

Direct peers

• Genetec: Canadian security and surveillance software platform offering Security Center (unified video, access control, ALPR) — the most direct comparable to Synectics' Synergy platform across the same physical-security-operations and city-surveillance use cases.
• Avigilon (Motorola Solutions): Video surveillance and analytics (now part of Motorola Solutions) targeting casinos, critical infrastructure, and public safety — directly comparable product portfolio to Synergy plus the COEX-class camera hardware line.
• BriefCam: Video analytics platform that integrates with major VMS systems to deliver real-time and forensic analytics — comparable to Synectics' computer-vision capability layer within the Synergy platform for city surveillance and gaming use cases.
• March Networks: Video surveillance specialist focused on transport (bus/rail), retail, and banking — overlaps directly with Synectics' transport segment and Ocular Integration's on-vehicle solutions for Stagecoach and similar operators.
• Milestone Systems: Danish open-platform video management software (XProtect) widely used in transport, city surveillance, and gaming — competes head-to-head with Synergy for large multi-site deployments with similar open-architecture, third-party integration value proposition.
