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.
