Milestone Solutions Center at ASIS demonstrates video enabled app integrations

September 17th, 2009 admin Comments off
Milestone Systems Milestone Solution Partner ecosystem uses XProtect™ SDK to provide
value-added offerings for many different industry applications.


COPENHAGEN – 17 September 2009. Milestone Systems, the open platform company in IP video management software, will demonstrate a concentrated sampling of leading-edge video-enabled integrations from select solution partners at the ASIS trade show in Anaheim, California, 21-24 September.

Milestone Systems was founded on the concept of an open and independent IP video software platform to drive the convergence of video surveillance and IP-based management systems. The Milestone Solution Partner and Manufacturer Alliance programs have driven innovation and flexibility for customers through software and hardware independence. This will be illustrated at the upcoming ASIS security industry event next week.

The open platform IP video management software from Milestone Systems has had an available Software Development Kit (SDK) since June of 2004. Since that time the Milestone Solution Partners have integrated over 100 video-enabled applications with the Milestone open platform utilizing this SDK.

The Milestone Solutions Center at ASIS will give attendees a unique opportunity to experience multiple application integrations in one place. These integrations illustrate how an open platform can provide innovative developments for video management solutions. ASIS participants visiting the Solutions Center will be asking themselves what other exciting applications will also be possible in the future.

“When Milestone talks about our open platform making the future up to you, we mean what we say and the Solutions Center demonstrates this with some ground-breaking video-enabled applications. A truly open platform provides endless options for integrating new innovations as they become available – no matter which vendor those may come from. Our Solution Partners are taking advantage of this to offer leading-edge video-enabled solutions that can make a difference in surveillance and business installations,” says Eric Fullerton, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at Milestone Systems.

The Solutions Center at ASIS booth 4445 will demonstrate to the market that Milestone offers strong APIs, which more than 100 Solution Partners have integrated with XProtect open platform IP video management software. The innovative and diverse video-enabling applications on display at the show will include the following: VideoIQ’s intelligent video cameras with built-in DVRs, SecurTEQ’s high-level threat detection systems, RISCO Group’s intrusion access control, Iomnis servers and storage, CNL’s IPSecurityCenter, and BriefCam’s Video Synopsis.

• BriefCam’s Video Synopsis technology compacts hours of events into a “brief” that takes just minutes to search, find and watch, saving hours of video review and speeding up response times. This integration is easy to install with the integrated Milestone XProtect platform.
• CNL’s IPSecurity Center provides Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) functionality to improve enterprise security by aggregating intelligence from all security systems. It helps increase control with embedded, process-driven, situation management and reduces costs by efficiently managing all security resources.
• Iomnis offers FTL servers and storage optimized for video. Configuration portals make installation easy and link to leading distributors. Preconfigured with Milestone XProtect software already integrated, these solutions are optimized for the optimal video environment.
• RISCO Group’s seamlessly integrated solution uses the Milestone XProtect™ IP video open platform as a recording engine for the SynopSYS™ Integrated Security and Building Management System. Site management and control is from one simple interface, using intuitive synoptic maps to allow command and control of security, video monitoring, fire detection, access control and other building automation systems.
• SecurTEQ’s integration offers best-in-class sensors for threats from chemicals, biological matter, radiation, nuclear risks, and explosives. SecurTEQ’s offerings also include intelligent video analysis for intrusion detection and verification, building and facility systems such as HVAC integration and automatic mitigation.
• VideoIQ claims the world’s first and only intelligent surveillance cameras and encoders with built-in DVRs, auto-calibration, and self-learning intelligent analytics, all with minimal bandwidth and storage demands, using the Milestone XProtect recording engine.

The Milestone Solutions Center Theater will also be presenting exciting map and Smart Wall functionality available with the newest release of the company’s flagship IP video management software for very large installations: XProtect Corporate version 3.0.

Complexity Made Simple: XProtect Corporate 3.0

September 16th, 2009 admin Comments off
Milestone Systems

Smart Wall and Mapping Give Dynamic, Interactive Control for large installations and control centers.

COPENHAGEN – 16 September 2009. Milestone Systems, the open platform company for IP video management software, has released XProtect™ Corporate version 3.0 with dynamic new map and Smart Wall surveillance functionality.

XProtect Corporate is an IP video management solution (IPVMS) for simplifying the control of complex large and multi-site installations. The newest release 3.0 includes comprehensive map functionality for importing bitmaps of geographical areas, buildings, or rooms with system component placements depicting the actual installations. This mapping provides security managers with interactive access and command of complete surveillance systems, combined with at-a-glance, real-time overviews of system integrity.

XProtect Corporate maps are easily customizable through intuitive drag-and-drop, clickable definitions of map hierarchies, cameras and I/O devices, hot-zones, sub-maps and camera view-zones. ‘Zoomable’ maps give fast access to video from alerted locations. Any number of layered maps may be used at many levels: city, street, building, room, area, etc.

In addition to the graphical map capabilities, XProtect Corporate 3.0 offers new video wall functionality using the new Milestone Smart Wall for superior flexibility and control of video displays in operation centers. Surveillance operators can manage multiple events with better situational awareness of complex scenarios and multiple simultaneous incidents.

The Smart Wall draws on the unique XProtect Corporate rule engine for dynamic view control based on motion detection, I/Os, integrated third party apps, time or analytic events. Another advantage is the Milestone open platform, which means that the Smart Wall is a command center solution that is independent of any specific hardware.

Thanks to seamless integration with the Milestone Smart Client and the new mapping, video views and cameras can be easily dragged and dropped into the Smart Wall. The intuitive layout builder for pre-set definitions and the graphical interactive control expedite large-scale surveillance – also for multiple Smart Walls running at the same time.

Speedy response and easy operations are further enhanced with these new monitoring features in XProtect Corporate:

• Instant camera preview on ‘mouse over’
• Camera view-zones displayed on the map
• Clickable PTZ zones with instant PTZ control to check incidents fast
• Integrated command of cameras, speakers and microphones
• I/O control to open or close doors, gate barriers, access systems, etc.

“Seamless drill-down enables instant location of troubled system components for faster response and reduced security system downtime. Clear system warnings enable system administrators to be proactive and maximize system availability,” says Christian Bohn, Head of Product Management at Milestone Systems. “XProtect Corporate gives direct access to performance data for all system components including cameras and servers.”

Internal security and procedures are also improved with the XProtect Corporate extensive audit logging, through full tracking of all user and management activities. This deters internal tampering and provides full audit history of any system configuration changes by individual operator. XProtect Corporate also enables easy guidance and follow-up for new operators.

“The continuing development of XProtect Corporate has included testing and verification for managing thousands of cameras,” adds Eric Fullerton, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at Milestone. “This illustrates the powerful performance and operational capabilities that are available for large-scale security implementations.”

XProtect Corporate will be demonstrated at the following upcoming security trade shows: APS in France, ASIS in California, Sikring & Sikkerhed in Denmark, SecTech in Sweden, ISC East in New York, IFSEC India and All Over IP in Russia.

Market Trend Shows Solutions Moving Toward Open Platforms

Taken from press release: “Milestone gains market share to retain top global position“.

The IMS report shows that a very large percentage of market revenues in 2008 were accounted for by open platform solutions, indicating the underlying trend toward open platforms. They estimate that by 2013 these will account for the majority of market revenues, due to the fact that ‘open platform solutions offer far superior functionality and scope for integration than proprietary systems do.’

Milestone Retains Top Global Position

September 7th, 2009 admin Comments off

logo63_631Milestone gains market share to retain top global position.

The latest surveillance market analysis from IMS Research finds Milestone Systems – outperforming growth for the general market – continues for the fifth year in a row as the world leader for open platform IP video management software.

COPENHAGEN – 7 September 2009. Milestone Systems once again stands out as the number one provider of open platform IP video management software, according to the latest IMS Research report: The World Market for CCTV and Video Surveillance Equipment 2009 Edition.

The report found that Milestone Systems has retained its top position of the last half decade in similar categories and gained additional market share in the video surveillance industry – particularly noteworthy in light of the constrained financial climate of the past year. Milestone holds a strong leadership position for open platform Video Management Software (VMS) with 10% market share. In the category of software-only VMS vendors, Milestone increased its market share from 19.5% to 25.8%.

“Milestone Systems continued to grow extremely fast and strong in 2008 with an increase in revenue of 42% compared to 2007. Relating this to the general market growth of 29% during that period indicates how Milestone has significantly surpassed the competition again,” states Lars Thinggaard, President & CEO at Milestone Systems.

The recession has affected some markets more than others, which is always a challenge for international companies. Milestone software is sold through authorized partners in 107 countries and has its own offices in 11 of these. The expanding Milestone eco-system includes well-developed partner programs with training and certifications, solution partner integrations, and alliance manufacturer support.

“The patterns of growth in the surveillance market are very different from previous years due to the tough financial conditions. For a global company like Milestone, fluctuating conversion rates are closely watched, and we strictly control our cash flow while making focused investments that position us to continue to do well in the future,” explains Thinggaard. “The external investment from Index Ventures in July of 2008 further strengthened the foundation that helps maintain momentum in our strategic growth plans.”

“Despite current economic woes, Milestone has continued to grow healthily and increase its market share. As the global leading open video management software vendor by market share, Milestone is well positioned to build on its success through 2009 and into 2010 as market conditions improve,” concludes Alastair Hayfield, Senior Market Research Analyst at IMS Research.

The IMS report shows that a very large percentage of market revenues in 2008 were accounted for by open platform solutions, indicating the underlying trend toward open platforms. They estimate that by 2013 these will account for the majority of market revenues, due to the fact that ‘open platform solutions offer far superior functionality and scope for integration than proprietary systems do.’

The Milestone Systems open platform provides a well-documented Software Development Kit which has garnered Systems Integrators and Milestone Solution Partners internationally: over 150 integrated solutions with Milestone XProtect™ IP video software exist today, providing seamless interoperability with access control, Point-of-Sales, analytics, biometrics, lighting or gate controls, alarms, fire alerts, baggage claims, production systems, and more.

IMS Research reports are based on comprehensive interviews with more than 100 international companies in the security industry, as well as data and statistics derived from relevant news sources, annual reports and the internet.

  • Rollback to previous configurations is easy with automatic system restoration points

“Several innovations and state-of-the-art features have been developed for this newest version of XProtect Enterprise to bring customers even better ways to manage video installations. For example, you can auto-detect, find and configure 100 cameras on the network in less than 2 minutes,” states Christian Bohn, Head of Product Management at Milestone Systems. “That’s an amazing time-saver for larger security systems, and only one of the many great administration tools available. In short:, it makes the security administrator’s work fast, efficient and flexible.”

XProtect Enterprise version 7.0 will be available globally through certified Milestone partners in October.

COPENHAGEN – 3 September 2009. Milestone Systems, the open platform company in IP video management software, has hired security industry professional Stephen Jones as Northern Regional Manager
in the United Kingdom.

In response to continued growth and development of the partner channel and customer base in the UK, Milestone Systems Ltd. has hired Stephen Jones as Sales Manager for the Northern region. The uptake of IP technology in the physical security sector is creating ever increasing demands for this company’s market-leading offerings in open platform IP video surveillance management software, traditionally referred to as CCTV in the UK.

Stephen has been active working with large systems integrators to provide solution design expertise in these industry sectors: construction, defence, education, gaming, local government authorities and utilities. He is proficient in the implementation of a wide range of security and surveillance equipment and technologies including camera types and lenses, telemetry, matrices, video surveillance distribution, recording, management software and compression techniques, structured cable systems, fibre optics, wireless technologies, video analytics such as ANPR and facial recognition software, access control systems, and more.

“Stephen brings to Milestone his strong sales and communication skills for supporting implementation techniques with decision makers and influencers. His proven sales and service skills will help ensure customer satisfaction, in addition to our established partner training, technical support, and further developments for managing major projects, for which we have many exciting plans in sight,” says Glenn Fletcher, Country Manager for Milestone Systems Ltd.

His previous positions include Regional Sales Manager at 360 Vision Technology Limited (2004-2009) and Major Accounts and Area Sales Manager positions that followed Technical Support at Video Controls Limited/Honeywell Systems (1996-2004), where he was selling and specifying surveillance solutions through system integrators, consultants and end users. Prior to that, Stephen had his own company called Ambertec Security Systems, after starting his career in the security industry as an installation engineer at Ranger Developments and Bellard Electronics.

Stephen Jones received his higher education degree from West Cheshire College, in Handbridge, Chester (1984-1988) and followed up with these professional qualifications: HNC – Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Part Six–Sigma Trained, and the completion of several Mercuri sales training courses.

Stephen is an enthusiastic golfer and a member of Upton-by-Chester Golf Club, so Milestone partners and customers can look for some smooth driving as he covers his new territory.
