Overview
ORBNET Event Gateway - The Event Gateway enables Milestone to send and receive SIA and Contact ID alarm protocols
The Event Gateway for Milestone XProtect is a pure software receiver/transmitter for standard IP Event Reporting protocols.The Event Gateway can be used to:
• Transmit encrypted alarms to monitoring stations in different formats
• Receive alarms/arming status from a wide range of alarm panels and display the status of their alarm points/arming status on the XProtect maps.
• Receive accurate Axis Input states (ON/OFF) from Axis Cameras and IO Boards (Inputs on Milestone Axis camera drivers are not reliable when initializing).
Alarm receivers can be added to Milestone in a hierarchy, with a separate receiver item for each alarm panel, and several alarm points under each panel.
We have created generic templates and models that allow you to add any type of alarm point (panic button, IR sensor, door, etc..) to Milestone, chose a specific icon for each one and use them on the XProtect legacy maps.
