Chris Wyller, North Central sale manager for Milestone, said the mobile nature of the application is helping to bring a new type of customer to the world of IP video surveillance.
“The mobile application is something that has always been defined but never truly tested,” he said. “For the majority of people who use video surveillance on the IP side, it’s neglected on how they are going to view that video. Now we can powerfully enable video with a very intuitive device and bring our software to someone who leaves a site and give them the same features, functionality, and command and control as if they were in their own LAN.”

Milestone’s Wyller said the application is bringing in a new type of customer to the IP video management world and that his company has been pleased with the feedback from the industry and end users.
“What the iPhone/iPod Touch user group gives us is a hook into that type of user that we have not been familiar with,” he said. “The user is someone that is media savvy and has never seen video portrayed on that type of device efficiently. The application will give us the opportunity for someone to dive into IP video where before they were a little slower coming into the marketplace because they couldn’t use video on that type of device they spent $400 on.”
