Genetec Brings Cloudrunner to Canada

As of August 8, 2025, Genetec Inc., known for their enterprise physical security software, has made a notable move by relocating its Cloudrunner™ vehicle investigation system to Canada. By joining forces with Microsoft Azure’s cloud platform, this shift aims to tackle vehicle-related crimes more effectively within Canada’s borders. Moreover, it ensures compliance with local data sovereignty regulations, a critical factor in today’s data-sensitive world.

Cloudrunner is tailored for public safety organizations and security teams. It provides crucial tools for identifying and analyzing vehicle incidents. With features like real-time alerts and historical search capabilities, it enables proactive policing and seamless jurisdictional cooperation. As vehicle crimes increase nationwide, these capabilities play a vital role in expediting case resolutions and bolstering community safety.

The Power of Data Sovereignty

The Cloudrunner system incorporates automated license plate recognition (ALPR) paired with detailed metadata such as vehicle make, model, type, and color. This allows law enforcement to track vehicles regardless of time or weather conditions. Immediate alerts for known vehicle listings and investigative resources further streamline the process of suspect tracing.

Data sovereignty remains a cornerstone of this initiative. Jeff Joyce from the University of British Columbia highlights the importance of data being stored within Canada. This commitment not only adheres to regulatory guidelines but also strengthens trust within communities.

With Canada joining countries like the US and Australia in locally hosting Cloudrunner, Canadian users can benefit from a smooth transition without workflow disruptions.
