In the article MIPS event gives inside look at Milestone Systems by Geoff Kohl, editor-in-chief of SecurityInfoWatch.com, he writes the following about the interaction between JVC and Lextech Labs at the Milestone Integration Platform Symposium (MIPS) in Las Vegas Nevada:
In testament to the openness concept at work during MIPS, two attending vendors — Lextech Labs and JVC were able to find that seamless integration is indeed the norm when working with the Milestone software. Lextech Labs makes a software application called iRa which runs on the iPhone that allows users to access video surveillance feeds. Both Lextech and JVC support Milestone Systems, so when the Lextech crew found out that JVC’s NVRs run Milestone, they decided to test out just how easily the integration would be. JVC’s crew provided an address to one of its VR-N1600 NVRs — a 16-channel NVR which runs Milestone XProtect Enterprise with a 1/2 terabyte of storage and the capability of handling 160 frames per second.
“We just typed in the IP address of the DVR, logged in, and it worked,” said Alex Bratton, Lextech Lab’s founder and CEO. “We proved that the Milestone software worked — that it was already integrated.”
The iPhone immediately pulled up the video video and all were immediately watching and controlling the surveillance cameras at a JVC location on the East Coast. An icon on the Lextech software indicated whether it was a PTZ, and with their fingers, Bratton and JVC’s National Marketing Manager Geoff Anderson were zooming and panning a camera around a parking lot — without much notable lag and with very good video quality.
“It’s a testament to companies like Milestone and Lextech Labs that we can do this,” said JVC’s Geoff Anderson. “This is what MIPS is all about.”
