ogy integration for this project, proposed the implementation of Milestone’s XProtect Professional solution. It is an open interface application designed for IP video manage- ment software with easy, intuitive and pow- erful functions.
The Smart Client interface has advanced search tools that combine with an easy-to- navigate video timeline, allowing users to quickly and accurately examine events. It
also offers sophisticated export options, in- cluding the Storyboard feature, which helps consolidate relevant video evidence to gain a complete view of incidents.
“The software was selected because of the systems notifications which were impor- tant in this application,” said Juan Martín González, commercial director of the inte- grating firm.
He said the solution was complemented
by two virtual machines that operate on an HP server and are managed by the software Promox, which proved highly reliable. Digital Watchdog cameras were used.
“In particular, the DW cameras al- lowed us to have a 180-degree panorama of some specific areas and other cameras were extremely useful because Milestone recog- nizes the algorithms of crossing a perimeter line that run in the camera,” Gonzalez said. “From there, we fed the alarm panel, thus reducing the need for central processing. For the communication, a data network was implemented on Cat 6 UTP and HPE POE 1920 switches. In terms of storage, we used the NAS QNAP brand with eight bays of 4TB each, implementing a raid 5 for more protection and writing speed. We were sur- prised how well Milestone worked on a Prox- mox virtual machine.”
Countless Advantages and High Satisfaction
For the administration of the system in gen- eral, twelve people were trained over two days. “Everyone quickly understood XPro- tect Smart Client despite having little pre- vious experience—some had worked with a rudimentary analog solution before. The system operators were very satisfied with the interface and its excellent performance in terms of quality and frames per second,”
González said.
For the institution, the advantages of this
implementation are numerous. Benelli indi- cated that the virtualization implementation allows them to immediately have a copy of the server data at the moment a network fail-
