Discover the XProtect advantage
- Open platform: For a typical IP video surveillance system, many components beyond cameras are required, such as network routers, switches, wiring, servers, backup power supplies and management and recording software. By choosing XProtect, you have the ability to connect products from a wide array of vendors that best suit the needs of your installation
- Video enable: The open platform makes it easy to integrate previously independent security and business systems into one video solution for greater efficiency and improved functionality. Use surveillance video for many value-adding purposes, such as training, quality assurance in production control or logistics, delivery and inventory status, insurance claims, employee procedures and environmental hazard monitoring
- Future proof: All XProtect products easily scale so you can seamlessly expand and upgrade your system according to your needs and budget. A flexible licensing model gives you the freedom to add new technologies as they are developed, allowing you to continually update and improve your solution
