barox Kommunikation AG has strengthened its longstanding collaboration with Milestone Systems, the pioneer in video technology software. This exciting partnership is now prominently showcased at the Milestone Demonstration Centre, located at Milestone UK’s headquarters in Reading.
For years, barox and Milestone have pushed the boundaries of technical excellence, exemplified by the seamless integration enabled by the Smart-barox plug-in. This integration spans Milestone's XProtect® Smart Client and Management Client, and has been instrumental in numerous high-security and critical national infrastructure projects worldwide.
By simplifying network management, the barox integration empowers installers and operators to efficiently oversee their security networks, and in addition, benefit from a significant reduction in engineering support costs that the integrated solution provides.
Seamless integration
With Smart-barox and Milestone XProtect®, end-users always have sight of which cameras or devices are connected
"The seamless integration of two industry-leading security manufacturers offers a compelling advantage for integration partners bidding on projects," explains Sarah Moss, barox Sales Manager UK and EIRE.
"It ensures a streamlined experience for end-users across diverse applications, all managed through a single pane of glass."
With Smart-barox and Milestone XProtect®, end-users always have sight of which cameras or devices are connected and operational, as well being notified of any system problems, such as a potentially problematic increase in PoE current draw.
Smart-barox and Milestone XProtect®
At the Milestone Demonstration Centre, visitors can experience first-hand the power of Smart-barox and Milestone XProtect®. This includes real-time monitoring of device connectivity and operational status, proactive alerts for system issues, and detailed diagnostics for cameras, switches, and PoE monitoring across the entire network.
The integration leverages barox's Device Management System (DMS), providing an intuitive network topology view and enabling remote device management and troubleshooting directly from the XProtect® Management Client.
Here also all network devices can be managed and re-booted if necessary, and all barox SNMP trap/alarm information can be configured and set-up, including SNMP trap activations.
Improving overall system reliability
Moreover, barox's license-free DMS capability integrated within XProtect® offers unparalleled diagnostics, significantly reducing support costs, health and safety risks, and engineering site visits. This ensures a substantial return on investment while enhancing overall system reliability.
“The Milestone Demonstration Centre exemplifies how barox and Milestone are reshaping security solutions, and empowering stakeholders with innovative technology that sets new standards in efficiency and performance,” exclaims Martin McGrath, Milestone Sales Manager for UK and Ireland.
“We are thrilled to showcase this joint capability at our UK headquarters. Installers, integrators, and potential end-users of Milestone Systems can now experience first-hand the immense power of this technical collaboration. It's a game-changer, demonstrating the real-world benefits of integrating two of the leading security manufacturer brands."
