Feb 04, 2010 Milestone Systems and Honeywell Security Group to collaborate on new IP surveillance products Milestone Systems and Honeywell are to team up in a new project to provide comprehensive coverage in IP surveillance.

The two companies have signed a partnership agreement, in which Milestone will provide XProtect software support for Honeywell’s IP product offerings, to fulfill the growing market demand for IP surveillance solutions.

Honeywell, an established name in the security industry, will provide assistance to Milestone as the industry transitions from analog to IP.

Milestone currently supports a number of Honeywell camera models, and the new agreement will extend coverage to more Honeywell offerings. The open platform architecture of Milestone XProtect IP video management software also provides the ability to integrate with such products as access control and intelligent analytics.

“The synergies between Honeywell products and the Milestone sales channels will give customers real added value from our combined solutions,” says Henrik Friborg, VP Strategic Alliances and Co-Founder of Milestone Systems.

“Customer projects have been implemented in various regions over the years incorporating both of our companies’ products, but now we will focus on this in a cohesive effort where we leverage our mutual strengths proactively.”

The IP video management software solutions from Milestone Systems are XProtect Corporate and XProtect Enterprise, available in more than a dozen languages. These platforms manage unlimited numbers of cameras, users, servers and sites, with full integration capabilities to other security systems and devices through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), available in the documented Milestone SDK.




Intermodal transportation: The next wave?Holidays are almost over, for those lucky enough to go on vacation. I spent my time away from the sea, and well above sea level. Just for reassurance. As you might know, the majority of Dutch grounds are below sea level (about 65%), and we keep dry feet by pumping water. Without that, we would build our sandcastle around "Amersfoort at the Sea" (a city some 80km inland). However, spending time in the Alps, some 800m above sea level, my rectangular box driven mind did not come to a complete standstill, wondering about hinterland transportation.
