Bosch, Milestone integrate

by Mark Rowe

The IP video management software (VMS) company Milestone Systems and Bosch report integration between the Bosch Access Control system and the Milestone XProtect VMS.

The integration was achieved earlier with the user interface via the Bosch system, and later upgraded with the XProtect Access Control Module in 2014, with the certification process completed by the end of the year. Now they display real-time access control events and alarms in the XProtect Smart Client, also providing control of doors, gates and barriers from within the video interface. Live video and views of recordings are synchronised with all the access control events.

The XProtect Access Control Module is part of the Milestone Integration Platform Software Development Kit (MIP SDK). The XProtect Smart Client provides a unified interface to the Bosch Access Control system with such dedicated functions as monitoring access events with video verification, manually controlling doors and gates, conducting investigations of specific access points or cardholders, exporting video evidence and generating reports.

Video of the Bosch access incidents visually confirms and informs on situations as they happen for verified decision-making and efficient response. The video also provides shareable evidential documentation for analysis, rectification or prosecution.

Trine Voss, Head of Solution Partner Program at Milestone Systems, says: “Bosch is one of the first Milestone Solution Partners to integrate via the XProtect Access Control Module, which shows a strong commitment to our open platform. Flexibility and reliability are two of Milestone’s core business values; these are both demonstrated in the certification of the Bosch Access Control system with our XProtect Smart Client interface. The freedom of choice lets operators use the features that are most efficient for their security needs.”

Milestone Systems already supports the full line of Bosch IP video network cameras, including the Bosch analytics offerings.

Rudolf Spielberger, Head of the Integration Partner Program at Bosch, says: “Bosch’s Access Professional Edition (APE 3.0) is a powerful and scalable access control application, and by that a perfect contribution to the Milestone Solution Partner ecosystem. With the fulfilled integration via Milestone’s XProtect Access Control Module, we validate Bosch’s openness strategy by providing – in the uncompromising interest of our customers – common open platform solutions for this demanding market.”

Look for the Bosch-Milestone integrations at the upcoming IFSEC trade show in London in June.
