COPENHAGEN, June 17 /PRNewswire/ --     Milestone Systems, a leading developer of open platform IP video
management software, announces the availability of XProtect Corporate version
2.0. Designed for large-scale applications, it supports unlimited numbers of
cameras, servers and users, with central control and intuitive access clients
that make big installations very easy to manage.

A decade of technological refinement in developing true open platform IP
video management software is culminated in Milestone XProtect Corporate,
architected to meet the tough demands of the largest implementations.
Distributed server architecture allows flexible management of unlimited
sites, servers, devices, cameras and users - no matter how large or
geographically spread the installations may be.

Surveillance system administrators get wizards, flexible rules system,
automatic network scanning and camera model detection, with tight integration
to IT environments for maintaining a very high level of system integrity.
Integration with Microsoft Active Directory(R) provides strict user
authorization and management; all configurations, activity logs and alerts
are conveniently stored in a Microsoft SQL database. Managing cameras in
groups and assigning users to role-based security groups saves valuable time.

The Milestone XProtect Smart Client is the elegant Graphical User
Interface, or GUI, for security staff to access live and recorded video data
at all times. Vital evidence material - encrypted and password-protected - is
easily created in a single operation for fast sharing. Multi-casting and
multi-streaming allow multiple operators to easily view live and recorded
video without straining network resources unnecessarily.

The unique, cost-effective archiving model reduces the high cost of
storage by using fast, local disks for short-term recordings and affordable
network storage for long-term archiving. Failover for system integrity & data
security ensures the high level of security and reliability required by true
enterprise-class IT environments for maximum uptime.

"XProtect Corporate is a stellar model for high-end scalability. As
customers expand their installations, they only have to pay licenses for the
cameras added - there's no extra cost for adding recording servers, storage,
clients or users, and no license cost for failover servers," says Eric
Fullerton, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at Milestone Systems. "Feedback
from our customers supports that they appreciate the simplicity in our
licensing structure and that Product Maintenance Agreements give a
cost-effective way to keep up to date with future developments, adding
industry innovations as they become available."

The Milestone XProtect IP video open platform is a hallmark of optimal
integration capabilities. The rich Application Programming Interface (API)
offers seamless interoperability with other systems and devices to
video-enable business most comprehensively. Return on investment is thereby
further enhanced.

Milestone XProtect Corporate version 2.0 is available through Certified
Milestone Partners internationally, among whom over 450 have already
completed professional training in this solution.
