Milestone Systems and Middleware Associates announced today the integration of Milestone XProtect Enterprise with Proviso-IPT Facility Security Management Software from Middleware Associates. The integration will give users access to advanced network video recording (NVR) capabilities through the Proviso-IPT web client user interface.
The interoperability of Middleware Associates' Proviso-IP edge reader access control system and Milestone's XProtect Enterprise software will provide users with alarm-event based video surveillance, which in most cases completely eliminates the need to monitor live video.
"Partnering with Milestone was an obvious choice because of their depth and breadth of IP camera products as well as their global market leadership and penetration. This collaboration will allow users for the first time ever to have a cost effective, event-based access control and video surveillance system that is made up of native IP security appliances that reside right on the edge of the network. This configuration combined with the Proviso-IPT open source software platform, offers simplified installation, extremely effective security and enterprise interoperability," said Patrick Conners, CEO of Middleware Associates, based out of Florida.
"Such integrated solutions significantly ramp up the added value for customers, who gain greatly increased returns on their security investments," adds Eric Fullerton, President of Milestone Systems Inc., based out of Oregon.
Customers of the integrated system will benefit from the extensive IP video capabilities of XProtect and the Proviso-IP web services architecture that automates the recurring system administration tasks of enterprise facility security. End-users can employ both the Milestone Windows-based client software and Proviso-IP web clients as their needs dictate.
Middleware Associates plans the general release of the integrated XProtect software solution following their release of Proviso-IP version 1.0, which is entering beta sites in March and April.

Middleware Associates has developed Proviso-IPT, the industry's first web-based open source Facility Security Management software for commercial and government security markets worldwide. Proviso-IP is designed to allow end users to migrate from their existing proprietary access control systems to a true native IP device architecture. Our open source software and native IP design dramatically cuts total cost of ownership for end users and provides easy integration with all enterprise applications; LDAP, HR databases, Time and Attendance systems, etc. Best of all, Proviso-IP is open source and connects directly to native IP security appliances, eliminating the need for expensive controllers and high installation labor rates and wiring.
