Leveraging Common Platforms

Written by Paddy Baker, Installation

The ONVIF initiative makes it easier to control various types of device from a single platform; including cameras and sensors, door and access control mechanisms and recording devices. Milestone’s XProtect platform is an ONVIF-compliant management interface that is based around the core elements of video surveillance, observation and recording.

“XProtect features dozens of new ways for users to control security across their site and to do so using automated procedures so it operates in the background, ensuring complete reliability and coverage,” says Henrik Pedersen, Milestone’s business development manager. “With an enhanced web user interface and connectivity to smart devices, alarms can be generated to notify managers whenever an event occurs that requires attention, allowing them to access video and data remotely from their mobile device.”
