This makes Milestone the first video management software product to support the newest models in the Bosch 200 Series of IP cameras.
Both companies support the ONVIF standard with officially launched offerings.
ONVIF is an open industry forum for the development of a global standard for the interface of IP-based physical security products
Incorporated as a non-profit entity in late 2008, the ONVIF specification is being developed to ensure interoperability between IP products regardless of manufacturer through a specification that defines a common protocol for the exchange of information between network video devices including automatic device discovery, video streaming and intelligence metadata.
Rudolf Spielberger, alliance manager for Bosch Security Systems GmbH, said: “Milestone and Bosch have worked very closely together to use the latest ONVIF specifications to achieve this plug-and-play integration of our products.
“Milestone is therefore the first VMS to support the Bosch NBC-200 IP cameras based on the ONVIF standard. Our companies will continue to collaborate to support our product portfolios with many exciting new features already planned for later this year.”
The ONVIF standard integration with these two Bosch 200 series cameras allows users of Milestone XProtect IP video management software to operate video streaming in both MJPEG and H.264 with RTP/UPD protocols, and audio streaming.
Milestone is also working to provide support for the full line of Bosch Dinion and Flexidome H.264 network cameras, which will be commercially available soon.
Henrik Friborg, co-founder and VP of strategic alliances, Milestone Systems , said: “Milestone is very excited to be the first VMS vendor to support the Bosch NBC cameras as we participate actively in working with the ONVIF standard developments for IP video, which will benefit the security industry for years to come.”
