Samsung integrates iPOLis HD network with Milestone’s Xprotect IP video management software

Milestone's XProtect software enables customers to monitor and control analogue and IP cameras

Milestone XProtect software allows customers to gain maximum benefit from a video surveillance system by being able to monitor and control analogue and IP cameras as well as access control, mobile devices and video analytics, from a single graphical user interface. XProtect currently supports more than 1,000 digital cameras, encoders and digital video recorders (DVRs) from almost 100 different manufacturers.

Samsung is a member of the Milestone Systems’ Manufacturers Alliance Programme and has a partnership agreement which allows customers, who buy Samsung network cameras and domes, to have the opportunity to use Milestone XProtect management software with a free one-camera license which is included in the camera packages.

Whilst Samsung has the capability to be a one-stop-shop for analogue, hybrid and IP network based video surveillance systems, we recognise the need to provide customers with the flexibility to choose the perfect combination of security products to match their specific requirements. We also want to make it easier for customers who are looking for a gradual transition from an existing to a fully IP based surveillance solution. Our integration with Milestone is part of an ongoing programme to integrate with leading independent software vendors (ISVs) who can offer ‘open’ software specifically designed to facilitate the integration of equipment and systems from different manufacturers.

Milestone and Samsung technical teams are working closely together to integrate additional iPOLiS network camera models and an announcement on an enlarged list is expected at the beginning of July 2012.
