The award was presented to Milestone Systems at the ASIS Expo held last month in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The Security Products 'New Product of the Year Award' honours the outstanding development achievements of manufacturers whose products are considered to be particularly noteworthy in their ability to improve security. More than 90 entries were received in the fourth successful year of this contest. A total of eighteen categories ranging from access control and cameras to mobile security and wireless technology were reviewed by the judges, who based their findings on the entry products’ overall functions.

"Milestone’s goal is to continually develop innovative surveillance software for our customers," states Eric Fullerton, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at Milestone Systems. "From the drawing board through the channel deployment of our technology, our teams work tirelessly to ensure the Xprotect line reinforces our reputation for flexibility, reliability and ease of use. We are very pleased to accept this award as recognition of our efforts."

Xprotect Smart Client is an easy-to-use client application that provides comprehensive yet intuitive control over security installations. The software gives seamless access to live and recorded video, customizable management of cameras and other connected security devices, fast search tools and evidence sharing. Available in 26 languages, Xprotect Smart Client has an adaptable user interface that can be optimised for individual operators’ tasks and adjusted according to specific skills and authority levels.

"What impressed us the most about the new Xprotect Smart Client is its streamlined design and many options for tailoring to each user’s needs," noted Ralph Jensen, Editor in Chief, Security Products. "Milestone brings a high level of innovative development to the industry and this product underscores the company’s software leadership around the world."
