Latin America. Milestone Systems launched XProtect Essential+, the new free offering in the company's portfolio.
"XProtect Essential+ is revolutionizing our open platform community. Essential+ allows anyone to start off on the right foot. Now any user can benefit from the benefits offered by the complementary solutions of our partners," says Bjørn Skou Eilertsen, Technical Director of Milestone Systems.
"Developers can now use our rich programming environment to create the complementary XProtect solutions of tomorrow. You can install Essential+ and purchase our Software Development Kit (SDK) at no cost. Just add the cameras and that's it. That's how simple it is to start developing solutions for this rapidly growing business segment."
By including Milestone's open platform programming environment in the free Essential+, Milestone is delivering the keys to future innovation to developers. The software and SDK can be downloaded at no cost from the Milestone website. Documentation, online learning courses, and an online developer forum are just a few of the resources that open platform software developers have free access to.
XProtect video management software products are based on Microsoft and other industry standards, so any Microsoft-certified developer can immediately start developing corporate video solutions that bring added value to companies.
Milestone also supports developers in commercialization, as solutions can be entered into Milestone's online Solution Finder that shows integrations to a global audience. Milestone's team of allied partners also offers solution certification with testing and documentation.
The fact that XProtect Essential+ is a free offering gives thousands of new users the ability to take advantage of Milestone's award-winning software for their businesses, organizations and residences. XProtect Essential+ is designed to provide a professional-quality security experience as a standalone corporate video solution. Users have access to your system from anywhere through three easy-to-use clients.
