Milestone Systems, the Danish IP video management software (VMS) company, announces extended availability for the Milestone Husky Series of network video recorder (NVR) appliances. These NVR appliances – pre-installed with the company’s XProtect video management software (VMS) – will be available in 2014 Q2 in Europe, Middle East and Africa, and in Q3 for Asia and Pacific regions.
The Husky Series of NVRs has already been introduced in the US and Canada, with the Husky M50 model available first. Due to the demand, a staged roll-out plan has been put in action. The line of models are now available in the US and Canada and will be showcased at the ISC West show in April.
The makers say that the hardware is industrial-grade and works with XProtect. Lars Nordenlund, VP of Incubation and Ventures at Milestone Systems, says: “We have redefined the NVR concept by providing our customers with embedded surveillance solutions that are customizable and scalable. Milestone Husky has already had tremendous response in the market because the series makes it so easy to customize a solution that meets their specific needs – from a single location flower shop to multi-site installations. Milestone Husky offers simple solutions with more than 50 preconfigured options.”
Husky is available in three models:
The Husky M10 is a sleek and small fanless device for entry-level surveillance and sites with no space for traditional IT equipment. The model supports up to eight cameras.
The Husky M30 is for workstation installations and supports up to 20 cameras.
The Husky M50 is a rack-mounted solution and supports up to 80 cameras.
The Husky appliances are ready to use, featuring automatic device discovery with wizards for configuring the entire system, and the device license keys are pre-activated.
Customers get remote access to live and recorded video through a choice of client interfaces: Milestone XProtect Smart Client (available with the Husky M30 and M50 models), XProtect Web Client or Milestone Mobile – all available in 27 languages.
The Husky M30 and M50 will not only be offered in preconfigured versions, Milestone also offers an online configurator that makes it simple for customers and partners to explore their options.
The Milestone open platform supports more than 3,000 camera models from over 100 manufacturers, as well as compatibility with ONVIF and PSIA compliant devices. Third-party integrations with video analytics and access control add even more value when using the Milestone M30 and M50 models.
“I believe that Milestone Husky is a tremendous opportunity for Milestone partners as well, since these appliances enable them to focus 100 per cent on their customers’ business needs and not worry about the technology behind the solution,” adds Nordenlund.
Husky will be on display at ISC West in Las Vegas 2-4 April (Milestone booth 20060), and IFSEC London 17-19 June. Visit: www.milestonesys.com.
