In Device Pack 9.1, support for Digital Barriers body worn cameras has been extended. Xprotect can now interface to Digital Barriers Edgevis servers. These dedicated servers provide a secure, scalable video transmission platform, able to stream video live from cameras to users over any, but especially low bandwidth, wireless networks.

Thanks to the use of open platform technology, this new feature is supported by the SVQR (Scalable Video Quality Recording) functionality in Milestone VMS.

Using SVQR, a low bandwidth connection can be used to send low resolution video to a command center for real time situational awareness. When the camera is connected to a high bandwidth network, the high-quality recordings from the cameras local storage can be retrieved by Xprotect 2017 advanced VMS, either by event, schedule or manually. This means that SVQR improves evidence investigation in addition to real-time situational awareness, thus proving added value to the Milestone community.

“We have a close relationship with Milestone, and are delighted at the new possibilities this integration offers. We are happy to be in the Milestone community as this gives us the potential to extend our reach through partnerships.” Said Colin Evans, COO Digital Barriers.

Support for the h.265 high efficiency streaming codec has also been added with Device Pack 9.1. So far numerous cameras from Dahua have been tested and verified in this release, with more to come.
