COPENHAGEN, Denmark, November 16, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
Mobile Application Gives Access to XProtect Platform Using Smartphones
and Tablets
Milestone Systems, the open platform company in IP video management
software (VMS), has announced the launch of XProtect Mobile, a new mobile
application for XProtectVMS users. XProtect Mobile is specially designed for
the XProtect VMS portfolio enabling users to effectively monitor their
XProtect video from any place, anytime.
Security personnel, business owners, residential users or video
surveillance installers who need to monitor installations can now view
Milestone XProtect video from anywhere on an Android(TM) smartphone or
tablet with the new XProtect Mobile. Developed by Milestone, XProtect Mobile
is a free application that works seamlessly with all recent XProtect VMS
products and will be available as a download from the Android Market on
December 1, 2011.
With instantaneous access to Milestone XProtect surveillance from any
place around the globe via Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G connections, operators can view
and play back video from cameras. XProtect Mobile provides increased
flexibility for surveillance through:
- Setting up multiple servers and connecting to cameras from
different sites
- Views taken directly from the XProtect(R) Smart Client
- Controlling pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras
- Constant access to view live video or to play back recorded
video from anywhere
With the ability to monitor installations on smartphones and tablets,
Milestone customers can now view incidents, ensure areas are secure and take
immediate action by visually verifying occurrences from any location.
Milestone Systems has more than 100,000 customer installations worldwide,
many with widespread areas that need monitoring.
"Let's say you want to maintain a visual of Building A when you are
physically at Building D: with XProtect Mobile, you can simultaneously watch
live video of both buildings on your phone. Or maybe you need to verify a
shipment while you are away on business: XProtect Mobile lets you play back
video of the arrival on your tablet. Or maybe you just want to monitor your
house while you are on vacation. What's important to Milestone is ensuring
you are always able to see what is important to you," says Christian Bohn,
VP Marketing and Product Management at Milestone Systems.
Milestone XProtect products are designed with usability in mind.
XProtect Mobile's unique, streamlined user interface has been specifically
developed to consume a minimum amount of power and to fulfill surveillance
needs when on the go.
Starting December 1, XProtect Mobile is available for smartphones and
tablets running Android 2.2 or higher, and works with all recent versions of
XProtect IP VMS. It will be downloadable from the Apple(R) App Store in
spring 2012 for iPhone(R) and iPad(TM). Mobile solutions for XProtect IP VMS
surveillance platforms are already available now for iPhone, iPad and
Blackberry(R) through Milestone Solution Partners Lextech Labs and MobiDEOS.
