The Taiwanese network camera company VIVOTEK reports that the IP video management software firm Milestone Systems, based on VIVOTEK’s web API (Application Programming Interface), has launched a driver in Milestone XProtect Device Pack 7.8 for VIVOTEK’s IP network cameras.
The firms say that this driver enables more efficient and effective communication and collaboration between VIVOTEK’s hardware and the XProtect software. As the firms say, integration of hardware and software is critical.
Christian Bohn, Milestone Systems VP Corporate Marketing & Alliances, says: “We are delighted about the new possibilities for Milestone Channel Partners and customers that this announcement brings to them. The Milestone eco system of partners now gain the full advantage of the new integration between VIVOTEK’s cameras and Milestones award winning open platform Video Management Software.
