General Description
The Milestone open video management platform XProtect
®
enables you to integrate custom, best-in-class
security solutions with your surveillance, such as access control, mobile devices and video analytics. The
Milestone Paxton Integration Component is an integration solution that combines Paxton Net2 Access Control
monitoring with market-leading XProtect® video management software (VMS).
The Milestone Paxton Integration Component integrates directly into the XProtect® Smart Client, the powerful
application for viewing and controlling cameras in all XProtect VMS systems. The Milestone Paxton Integration
Component allows the user to control access and monitor video surveillance from one unified interface,
eliminating the need to run two separate applications. It enables you to open and close doors while
simultaneously viewing video footage of the doors. The Milestone Paxton Integration Component also captures
critical events from the Paxton Net2 server and registers them as alarms in the XProtect Smart Client. These
alarms are automatically linked to relevant video footage from corresponding cameras. Users gain seamless
control of cameras in their surveillance system based on Paxton door events, such as starting/stopping recording,
changing video frame rate and moving the camera to focus on a door.
Streamline your security surveillance by integrating the Milestone Paxton Integration Component into XProtect
VMS. The component integration reduces the risk that operators miss important events and enables operators to
more quickly investigate, react to and report critical events. A unified client application combining access control
and video surveillance is not only more efficient, it also requires less training for new personnel.
It enables access control operators to monitor doors and cameras as well as monitor alarm events issued by the
Net2 system using only the Milestone Smart Client graphical interface. It is also possible to actively open/close
the doors from the MAP interface of the Smart Client.
The behavior of cameras may be linked to Paxton events by rules that, for example, start the recording on specific
Paxton Events or moves the camera to a preset position. An administrative part plugs into the relevant Milestone
software, for example XProtect Corporate Management Client and the Net2 Access Control Units are configured
in the map function of the Milestone XProtect Smart Client.
