With this certification, Lenel customers using Milestone VMS can view and manage the Onguard access control events from the Xprotect user interface, improving their operational efficiency.

Prior to this integration, customers were required to switch over to the Lenel Onguard Alarm Monitoring application for managing access control events. Now customers have the option to manage and view traditional access control events in the Milestone Xprotect interface depending on their operational preference.

“The Openaccess Alliance Program (OAAP) embodies Lenel’s commitment to providing our customers with as many options as possible to customise a security solution that meets their needs,” said John Marchioli, Director of Strategic Alliances, Lenel.

Through the Lenel OAAP Certification, Onguard users not only gain a wealth of customisable solutions, but also the assurance that any interface they choose has been tested and certified by Lenel for stability and uninterrupted Onguard functionality.

“Customers increasingly are demanding the efficiencies that come from unifying operations of multiple security systems, whenever possible. Lenel and Milestone share the same business goals of open platform architecture that enables just such beneficial integrated solutions,” said Reinier Tuinzing, Strategic Alliances Manager – Americas, Milestone Systems.
