New from the IP video management software (VMS) company Milestone Systems are Husky Hybrid NVRs. Described as a way to make the transition from analogue to digital, there is no need the Danish firm says to throw out older cameras that are still working, as you add new network devices to your system.

The Milestone Husky series of NVRs will now offer versions with integrated encoders for connecting analogue and digital cameras, which run on IP networks, to the same box. Husky Hybrid NVRs are pre-installed with Milestone VMS. A user can continue to use analogue cameras and add IP cameras.
The Husky Hybrid NVRs are aligned with the software firm’s new encoder licensing. In this only one hardware device license is needed for each analogue-to-IP encoder, regardless of the number of analogue cameras connected to the encoder. This applies to encoders with no more than one IP license. The Husky Series also supports the Milestone encoder licensing when external encoders are used on the NVRs. Users can choose from more than 200 encoders.
At launch two configurations of Milestone Husky Hybrid NVRs will be pre-installed with XProtect 2014

Lars Nordenlund, VP of Incubation & Ventures at Milestone Systems, says: “The new Milestone Husky Hybrid series is the perfect stepping stone for customers using analog systems who want to move into the intelligent world of IP. Customers can migrate to network solutions at their own speed while maintaining consistency. The Milestone open platform technology can expand effortlessly over time, so Milestone Husky easily leads the way into the digital future.”
The Husky Hybrid Series was shown at the ASIS International trade show in Atlanta from September 29 to October 1.
