Adequate video surveillance coverage depends entirely on a facility's layout, square footage, and security goals. Historically, better coverage required more cameras, but technology innovations are changing those expectations and undermining previously held rules of thumb. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: Do today's video systems generally require more cameras or fewer cameras, and why?

Hanwha Vision has introduced the latest version of its plug-in for Milestone XProtect, featuring the new AI-powered Similarity Search alongside expanded integration with Hanwha Vision cameras.

Milestone XProtect is open-platform vid...

Access control tells users what happened at the door. Video tells what it looked like. When those two systems live apart, operators lose time switching screens, correlating timestamps, and piecing incidents together by hand. The Access It! integration with Milestone XProtect closes that gap. It connects access control and video in both directions, so events, live and recorded footage, and device commands all come together in one place. Operators can monitor activity, verify an event with video...

Two new Acre integrations for Milestone XProtect let operators manage access and video from one interface — across Acre Smart Controllers, Mercury panels, and ASSA ABLOY DSR locks — with a new 64-bit plugin for larger deployments. Access control and video answer different questions. Access control tells you who requested a door and whether it opened. Video shows what actually happened. Running them as separate systems means operators reconstruct incidents manually — matching t...
