Frequently Asked Questions

Overview

What is the STid Mobile ID® plugin for Genetec Security Center?

The STid Mobile ID plugin offers a single interface in Security Center to control the STid Mobile ID portal: creation, sending and revocation of virtual smartphone badges (BLE / NFC). Operators manage mobile credentials from Config Tool and Security Desk without switching tools, while leveraging the cardholder base already present in Genetec.

What are the benefits of managing virtual badges from Security Center?

A single console to manage both physical and virtual badges, bidirectional sync with the STid Mobile ID portal, bulk import of cardholders, instant revocation if a phone is lost, and elimination of the dual administration between the access IAM and the STid portal.

Which smartphones do STid Mobile ID® virtual badges work with (iOS / Android, BLE / NFC)?

STid Mobile ID virtual badges work on iOS and Android smartphones, in BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and NFC modes. Exact compatibility depends on the STid reader model deployed - refer to the STid matrix for the modes enabled per reader.

Compatibility & requirements

Which Genetec Security Center versions are supported?

Genetec Security Center 5.11, 5.12, 5.13 and 5.14.

Is the plugin compatible with Security Center SaaS?

No. The plugin requires an on-premise Security Center deployment because it installs as a native Genetec server role. Security Center SaaS is not supported at this time.

Is any additional server infrastructure required?

No. The plugin installs as a native Security Center role and communicates directly with the STid Mobile ID portal over HTTPS. No third-party application to install, no middleware.

Is a STid Mobile ID® contract (portal credits) mandatory?

Yes. The plugin relies on the STid Mobile ID portal: an active STid account and STid Mobile ID credits are required to issue / send / revoke virtual badges. The ADDONXPERT plugin provides the Genetec integration; STid credits are ordered separately from STid or its distributor.

Features

How to create, send and revoke a virtual badge from Security Center?

From the cardholder record in Config Tool, a dedicated button creates a STid virtual badge, sends it to the cardholder's smartphone (via email or link) and revokes it at any time. Operations are traced in the plugin events and reported to Security Desk.

How does synchronization between Genetec and STid Mobile ID® work?

The plugin synchronizes both ways: cardholders and virtual badges created on the Genetec side are pushed to the STid portal, and conversely statuses (sent, activated, revoked) are pulled back from the portal into Security Center. Everything is driven from a single tool without dual data entry.

Is bulk cardholder import supported?

Yes. The plugin offers bulk import from Genetec or the STid Mobile ID portal: mass creation, sending and revocation of virtual badges across a set of cardholders, without manual intervention per cardholder.

What STid Mobile ID® reports are available in Security Desk?

The plugin adds a dedicated STid Mobile ID report in Security Desk: history of creations, sendings, activations and revocations of virtual badges, filterable by cardholder, period and operator - for traceability and audit.

Can the virtual badge manager be launched directly from Security Center?

Yes. A direct-access button to the STid Mobile ID virtual badge manager is exposed from Config Tool, avoiding the need to switch to a second application for advanced operations on the STid portal.

Licenses

How many virtual badges can be synchronized (pricing 500 / 1,000 / 2,000 / unlimited)?

Four ADX-STIDMOBILEID-VCARD add-on tiers: 500, 1,000, 2,000 virtual badges or unlimited. Choose based on the size of the workforce to equip. The tier can be adjusted via SMA as the fleet grows.

What licenses are required on the ADDONXPERT and Genetec sides?

ADX-STIDMOBILEID-BASE (plugin base license) + ADX-STIDMOBILEID-VCARD (add-on priced by number of virtual badges 500 / 1,000 / 2,000 / unlimited) + SMA-STIDMOBILEID-<tier>-1Y to 5Y (mandatory annual maintenance per tier) + one Genetec SDK connection GSC-SDK-ADDONXPERT-MOBILEID. STid Mobile ID credits are also required on the STid portal side.
