Latin America. Paxton has announced the integration of its network access control system, Net2, with Milestone Systems. The integration allows the user to deploy access control events and monitor video surveillance cameras from Milestone's XProtect Smart Client.
Paxton has developed a connector using Milestone's 2016 MIP SDK, which can be added to the Milestone XProtec (VMS) by linking Paxton's Net2 access control information to Milestone's XProtect Smart Client interface.
The integration associates cameras with doors and displays real-time video scenes such as video events and access alarms occurring. The software can be configured so that notifications appear instantly to get the operator's attention for an event of interest. Doors can be locked or unlocked directly from the XProtect Smart Client interface, where user information and events can be displayed to give the operator complete visibility on who is accessing the areas through the site.

With more than 30 years of experience, they offer engineering excellence, creating simple, yet intelligent and innovative products with simplicity designed into them, ensuring that they are easy to install, use and maintain.

Milestone Systems was founded in 1998 and is a global industry leader in open IP video management software platforms. Its technology is easy to operate, reliable and provides flexible networked hardware choices and integrations with other systems.
Reinier Tuinzing, Strategic Alliances Manager, Americas, Milestone Systems, said: "We are very pleased to strengthen the strong long-term relationship between Paxton and Milestone. As mutual proponents of open platform software, this latest integration offers our customers the choice to operate their access control from the Xprotect video client."
Chris Wilson, Paxton's Product Manager, said: "We are pleased to be working again with our long-standing partner, Milestone.
