XProtect® links with data from Redscan IP laser and IR detectors to verify perimeter security surveillance and reduce false alarms.
COPENHAGEN/OTSU, JAPAN – August 9, 2012. Milestone Systems and Optex, Inc. are expanding integration development with dedicated support of IP sensors and detectors for Milestone XProtect® video management software (VMS). The detector scan and video data are configured and displayed together in Milestone’s easy-to-use XProtect® Smart Client interface, eliminating the need to run two separate applications while lowering bandwidth consumption. This interoperability creates features and benefits unprecedented in the security industry for video verification and full control of perimeter security applications in all lighting conditions.
As part of the Optex Redwall product family, the Redscan Laser-Scan IP detectors identify moving objects’ size, speed, and distance. The devices process that information with a unique algorithm, resulting in a highly reliable detection system with minimal false alarms. SIP detectors use passive infrared technology with synthesized intelligent algorithms for reliable detection, especially in difficult lighting environments.
“Continued integration of innovative Optex products into the Milestone [XProtect] VMS will enable more accurate and reliable video analytics, reducing false alarms,” says Ryosuke Miwa, Optex’s general manager of global sales and marketing. “Combining Redscan area and object data with the Milestone open platform will give unprecedented new levels of security for critical infrastructure such as electrical power plants or water reservoirs and commercial applications.”
“Innovation through partnership is the backbone of the Milestone open platform and our close collaboration with Optex epitomizes this. Milestone is demonstrating its industry leadership by being the first VMS [provider] to develop dedicated support for IP detection and sensor devices,” says Martin Friis-Mikkelsen, Head of Strategic Alliances at Milestone Systems.
Milestone’s release of the August XProtect Device Pack 6.2 will include integration of Optex detection products with XProtect VMS. XProtect Device Packs will also be available in the future for the Optex IP laser and passive infrared detectors. The solutions will be presented at the ASIS trade show in Philadelphia, September 10-13 at the Milestone booth #3126 and the Optex booth #2617.
