"Lilin and Wavestore technicians have successfully cooperated to ensure compatibility between our two company’s respective products. This has resulted in an immediate benefit to clients who are specifying Wavestore’s hybrid recording solutions because they wish to design a new, or upgrade an existing video surveillance system that incorporates both traditional analogue cameras and the latest generation of IP cameras."
