Pivot3 Inc. recently announced that the company has joined the Milestone Solutions Partner Program and the IP User Group as part of its international expansion.

The Milestone Solutions Partner Program enables system integrators and equipment manufacturers to develop security or other business solutions that are integrated with the Milestone IP video management platform. The MSP program offers access to the Milestone SDK with APIs for making integrations, programming support and marketing cooperation.

“Milestone continues to be a leading partner and, as one of the early pioneers in the open-systems model, is an ideal partner for Pivot3,” said Lee Caswell, co-founder and chief marketing officer of Pivot3. ”The cooperative work we are doing with Milestone allows our joint worldwide customers to take advantage of Milestone’s leading-edge video surveillance applications with the added safety of proven, highly scalable storage from Pivot3.”

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
