Milestone's Xprotect Recording System - Future-Safe for a Safe Future

It's rare to come across a software program that has has such an impact that it greatly enhances what was already a very functional service, but Milestone's Xprotect software for the administration and operation of IP Surveillance camera systems has done just that. Adding advanced features that are sorely lacking in some other IP camera software solutions, Xprotect takes the capabilities of IP cameras and pushes them to the limit, greatly enhancing the opportunity for ensuring your surveillance solution provides the best possible means of capturing the exact footage you want, at the exact time you want it. Why are we so impressed with Milestone? Take a look at the core feature list and their associated benefits:

• Point of Sale event recording - hugely beneficial for retailers who wish to monitor transactions in case of employee theft, Milestone can integrate with electronic cash register systems to monitor receipts and provide records of each item processed by the register. Couple this with the imaging quality of megapixel cameras, and an incident will be almost impossible to go unrecorded.
• Frame Rate speed up on Activity - the moment the software detects motion happening in a desired section of the footage, it can automatically speed up the frame rate to provide the smoothest possible footage; this ensures that incidents are recorded in maximum detail while limiting storage requirements and bandwidth usage during periods of inactivity.
• Smart Search of Specified Footage areas - this detects any changes in specified areas of the footage, such as certain objects. For example, if there was a safe containing valuables, or a particularly valuable item within your locale, the software could instantly notify the camera owner either via e-mail, alert, or mobile phone SMS message the moment it is detected.
• Event Logging System - presented as a series of vertical bars down the right side of the software window, Milestone Xprotect shows a clear graphical indication of periods of motion (which are highlighted in red) along with periods of inactivity (which are greyed out), allowing you to instantly jump to certain areas of recorded footage for analysis. Coupled with the ability to view logs of what happened between specific time period, Xprotect has greatly impressed us with its' high level of "intelligence" as a piece of software.

COMING SOON: Xtreme's Customer of the Month Program

To kick off the new year, for each month throughout 2010 we will be spotlighting some of our long-term customers from a variety of industries in order to both thank them for their customership and to ask them to share some of their knowledge and expertise in their respective fields as well as looking at some of the challenges and opportunities approaching their industries in the year to come. Featuring an interview and company profile with their logo and a back link to their site, along with some of their own valuable advice, we aim to have the Customer of the Month clearly highlighted and have their article compiled and archived into a separate knowledge base of Past Customers of the Month as its' own section for future perusal.

We look forward to being able to say thank you to our customers by proudly linking to their sites and profiling their companies, helping to promote their businesses as they have helped ours grow over the years. Their continued support has allowed us to continue supplying premium-grade IT products and services at a high quality level for as long as we have. We will, of course, be contacting the customers individually beforehand and asking them for their permission before selection, then arranging a short interview and having their feature published.

Stay tuned for the first installment to be released later this month!
