RISCO Group, Milestone Announce Partnership

  • May 08, 2009

RISCO Group and Milestone Systems recently announce a partnering agreement between the two companies, which integrates the globally leading Milestone open platform IP video software within RISCO Group’s overall security management system.

RISCO Group and Milestone have developed an integrated solution where the Milestone XProtect IP video open platform acts as a recording engine for the SynopSYS Integrated Security and Building Management System. SynopSYS provides site management and control from one simple interface, using intuitive synoptic maps to allow command and control of security, video monitoring, fire detection, access control and other building automation systems.

As a Milestone Solution Partner, the collaboration completes RISCO Group’s solution by integrating video surveillance input from IP cameras into SynopSYS. In SynopSYS, live video events serve as triggers for real-time alerts and automated actions on any integrated security system or device. Likewise, any event in SynopSYS, such as an access alarm, can trigger recording video from the required IP camera through an entirely software-based interface.

Using the Milestone open platform, SynopSYS can integrate with unlimited numbers and models of IP cameras, and provide an ideal management system for any type or size of project. With its proven experience in installations for the commercial, industrial, and military sectors, SynopSYS now offers full flexibility for integrators in selecting a complete platform for security and building management that is video enabled.

”RISCO Group has a state-of-the-art, sophisticated IP solution that provides a perfect synergy of innovative technology with the Milestone video surveillance integration,” said Raziel Bareket, Sales Manager for Benelux and Israel at Milestone Systems. “This is an excellent match. System integrators can offer a non-proprietary building management system, implementing a best-of-breed solution that adds more comprehensive functionality. This is truly a win-win situation from a technical, commercial and customer perspective.”

  • Gaining a Competitive Edge

    Ask most companies about their future technology plans and the answers will most likely include AI. Then ask how they plan to deploy it, and that is where the responses may start to vary. Every company has unique surveillance requirements that are based on market focus, scale, scope, risk tolerance, geographic area and, of course, budget. Those factors all play a role in deciding how to configure a surveillance system, and how to effectively implement technologies like AI. Read Now

  • The Stage is Set

    The security industry spans the entire globe, with manufacturers, developers and suppliers on every continent (well, almost—sorry, Antarctica). That means when regulations pop up in one area, they often have a ripple effect that impacts the entire supply chain. Recent data privacy regulations like GDPR in Europe and CPRA in California made waves when they first went into effect, forcing businesses to change the way they approach data collection and storage to continue operating in those markets. Even highly specific regulations like the U.S.’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) can have international reverberations – and this growing volume of legislation has continued to affect global supply chains in a variety of different ways.
