COPENHAGEN, September 1 /PRNewswire/ --

- Reducing Operating Costs and Enabling Correlation of Alerts Between
Different Analytic Tools

Milestone Systems, a leader in true open platform IP video management
software, announces its Video Analytics Framework - XProtect(TM) Analytics
2.0. Part of the Milestone open platform solution, XProtect Analytics
seamlessly integrates video analytics tools from different manufacturers
under a single, easy-to-manage interface. This gives a powerful, future-proof
framework for implementing and managing different video analytics
applications that addresses some of the key industry issues such as the end
user's need to easily correlate alerts between various analytics tools. Using
the Milestone correlation tools, they can rapidly search across alerts and
events to easily find relevant video evidence about security incidents from
multiple sources.

"Within the next three to five years video analytics will be as prevalent
in video surveillance solutions as motion detection is today," says Eric
Fullerton, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer of Milestone Systems. "Enabling
users to easily integrate intelligent video analytics from different
manufacturers, both at the edge and at the server, helps decrease false
alerts, reduces operating costs and makes the system much easier to operate."

With the Milestone Video Analytics Framework, organizations have easy
access to critical information they need to make proactive decisions and take
preventive measures to mitigate the consequences of a security incident.

A combination of advanced analytic tools and optimized IP-based video
technology based on the Milestone open platform, XProtect Analytics Framework
enables video analytics at the edge (on camera) and at the server, minimizing
processing power and adding value to archived video. With XProtect Analytics
users can correlate events from generic tools such as license plate
recognition, facial recognition and traditional real-time access control with
alerts from video content analysis tools, such as object detection, etc.
Users can build strong, accurate evidence by cross-matching events in
real-time and from archived video.

Integrating video analytics with open platform video management systems
gives a flexible choice of hardware and software that greatly expands the
potential for video analytics and increases the value of archived video. A
true open platform solution, such as the Milestone Video Analytics 2.0
Framework, simplifies system operation by integrating a wide variety of video
analytics products under one easy-to-manage user interface. This gives a
powerful surveillance solution with a flexible IP video management system and
a central console for operating, collecting and correlating events from
multiple sources.

Milestone has already implemented a variety of solutions with key
customers resulting in significant efficiencies. The XProtect Analytics 2.0
framework is based on successful and proven development projects at customer
sites, and will be commercially available in Q4 2008.
