Milestone Recording System

Milestone Xprotect Recording System

The technology of network-based video monitoring makes it possible to view images from any available location, and software solutions, such as that provided by Milestone, available for the cental management system can help operators when they need fast access to both live and stored video. The time taken to search through old recorded analogue data is greatly reduced with digital IP Surveillance security systems as compared to analogue set-ups. Milestone is suitable for small-to-medium sized installations, typically on a site with anywhere from one up to 64 cameras. It is built on the same reliable and high-performance technology that has won awards for years running and has a very strong price/performance ratio.

Some of the core benefits of using Milestone's IP camera software include:

• Point of Sale event recording - can be integrated with cash registers and other funds processing solutions in order to record transactions and provide documentation of occurrences of illegal transactions or employee theft.
• Instant searching through stored footage - Milestone keeps an "event timeline" that shows where activity such as motion or sound occurred in stored footage, allowing the user to seamlessly jump to exact time periods or areas of suspicion for quick viewing.
• Freedom to choose - compatible with over 750 brands of IP cameras, with Milestone you are not locked in to any proprietary software restricting the brand of camera you can use; you are free to add to and adapt your surveillance system as you see fit.
• Intelligent features - including functions such as motion detection, frame rate speed up on activity, smart search of specified areas, active operator alerts and more, Milestone blows away its' competition in terms of range of features offered.
• Export evidence material fast - deliver authentic video proof to public authorities or for internal records quickly and easily in a wide variety of video formats.
• Future-safe; for a safe future - the IP approach to surveillance is the foundation of tomorrow, available today. Milestone maximises the capabilities of all IP cameras to ensure that no security violation is left undetected.

Case study: Monash University

Monash University in Melbourne employs IP Surveillance in and around the campus to provide students, teachers and staff with a safe environment. As with most analogue-based CCTV systems, Monash's system was ageing, lacked features and was in need of an upgrade. Rather than replace their previous outdated DVR system with another, Monash looked to the latest in IP Surveillance security technology and what it had to offer. A full product demonstration was held for Monash University and their staff, who were immediately impressed with the performance of the Milestone NVR software for recording. After the implementation of the system, Monash has had far greater success in following up on security violations due to the combinaton of IP camera video quality and the functionality of Milestone's Xprotect recording software.
