Milestone Integration Platform SDK Released

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 3, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    - Development Framework Provides Easy Plug-in Architecture for
Integrating Security, Analytics and Business Systems

    Milestone Systems has announced a major release: the Milestone
Integration Platform Software Development Kit version 1.0 (MIP SDK 1.0). It
was presented at the Milestone Integration Platform Symposium held March 2-4
in San Antonio, Texas.

    The Milestone Integration Platform SDK 1.0 provides Milestone partners
with a world of innovative possibilities: the comprehensive development
framework makes it easy to integrate security and business solutions
(including multiple video analytics applications) with the open platform
Milestone XProtect(R) video management software (VMS) products.

    The Milestone Integration Platform SDK 1.0 is flexible, supporting a
multitude of integration methods. The unique plug-in architecture enables
seamless integration of third-party applications with the Milestone
management interface and XProtect Smart Client user interface.

    "Our Milestone Integration Platform offers extensive video
interoperability to achieve ultimate user experience and higher customer
satisfaction. This powerful development tool supports an easy-to-use plug-in
approach resulting in a shorter time to market," says Christian Bohn, VP
Product Mangement & Marketing at Milestone Systems. "Building a reliable,
unified interface to our advanced XProtect products can be based on the
concept of 'develop once - apply on all': the MIP SDK secures forward
compatibility, enables automatic access to new capabilities, and reduces
solution maintenance costs."

    Key features of the MIP SDK 1.0 development framework include a number of
new capabilities:

   
    - The MIP environment means that partner integrations can continue to
      operate with new releases of XProtect as they become available.
    - Support for many different integration methods includes various levels
      of abstractions and multiple integration layers.
    - There are many options for dynamic video overlaying, server-side MIP
      integrations, and unique intra-MIP plug-in communications.
    - Extensive documentation is delivered with application and code samples,
      Microsoft(R) Visual Studio(R) project templates, and a toolbox with
      proven Milestone libraries and code components.

    The Milestone Integration Platform SDK 1.0 for developing integrated
solutions is available for Milestone Solution Partners (and new ones who are
interested may apply via the Milestone website:
http://www.milestonesys.com/partners/solution_partners/msp_program). A quick
introductory presentation is provided, including a product overview and a
technical walkthrough. Full training classes are being scheduled.
