Customers demanding an advanced feature set for optimum security performance and functionality will find the integration surpasses security requirements for most markets.” “Milestone is pleased that AMAG continues to be part of the Milestone Solution Partner Program to support the AMAG Symmetry 8 integration with our XProtect 2014 release,” said Reinier Tuinzing, strategic alliance manager, Americas, at Milestone Systems. “Customers increasingly request video verification in conjunction with access control events for greater efficiency and visual documentation.  When combined with other video enabled applications like analytics for loitering and people counting, or RFID asset tracking or intrusion detection, our open platform provides even broader security coverage for customers.”
