Milestone Systems is expanding its product line-up yet again, this time with a pre-loaded and easy-to-configure solution called XProtect Essential NVR. Powered by the HP Z200 Workstation, the solution delivers Milestone XProtect Essential video management software preinstalled. It is designed for the small business market, providing fast setup and ease-of-use, proven reliability, and guaranteed support.

IP network technology is continuing to take hold in the physical security market, and to help people who are using analog systems move to a network approach faster, Milestone will now offer their globally leading XProtect video management software in the easiest possible way: already installed on a computer workstation.

"Milestone is living up to its vision of driving the convergence to IP video surveillance: we are leaving no reason for people to buy analog systems anymore. For small businesses, the choice couldn't be easier with this guaranteed best-of-breed combination from two world leaders," says Lars Gudbrandsson, Head of Product Management at Milestone Systems. "With our pre-loaded software, automatic camera detection, and video configuration wizards, the surveillance is up and running in no time at all."

The cost and time of setting up the entire installation is minimal since the software is pre-loaded with all of the storage and technical IT configurations required. All that is left to do is camera configuration, which is a snap with the built-in wizards to guide swiftly through the process. In addition to the effortless setup, XProtect Essential NVR is very user friendly with a consolidated single-management interface and search tools that make the daily operations of video surveillance easier than ever.

The HP Z200 Workstation comes pre-loaded with Microsoft Windows 7 Professional and Milestone XProtect Essential VMS, ready to operate with 8 or 16 video channels and up to 5 concurrent users. XProtect supports the widest choice in network video camera and encoder brands and models, allowing a mix to fit different needs. Customers can efficiently transition from analog to IP, continuing to use existing devices while blending IP security technology over time.

Outstanding Milestone and HP reliability and support will be delivered from the following:

• Performance validated with rigorous testing
• Three-year on-site hardware support from HP worldwide
• Three-year hardware limited warranty from HP
• Software support from Milestone Systems

General availability and shipment to the European Union (EU) and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) member countries is scheduled for April 14th, with global availability rolling out in 2011. Milestone will continue to offer its entire line-up of software-only XProtect solutions, while this bundled hardware product represents the company's focus on reaching analog users in the industry who are interested in moving to IP. Market analysts report that around 75% of surveillance system purchases were still analog through 2009, and that IP solutions will increase to 50% by 2014.

HVI Light Plus for Lightning Protection Applications

When installing bare, uninsulated air-termination conductors on the roof, the separation distance to electrical and metal systems installed under the roof surface must be maintained in accordance with the current lightning protection standard DIN EN 62305-3. Cable installations, pipe systems or metal parts are frequently installed under the roofing in direct proximity to the air-termination system / down conductor, thus posing a proximity issue. The solution is isolated air-termination systems with high-voltage-resistant, insulated down conductors.

DEHNventil ACI M: Standard-compliant Surge Protection in Industry

High demands are placed on the availability of switchgear in, for example, industrial plants, data centres, hospitals and large administrative buildings. This makes surge protection essential. At the same time, replacement of the surge protection module should not influence system availability. The new DEHNventil ACI M TNS 264 FM has no backup fuse and is flexible in terms of its application. In the event of a fault, the protection module is safely disconnected and can be quickly removed from the base part from either side or the front. The touch-safe design allows the protection module to be replaced without system downtime. The ACI technology employed also enables connection cross-sections of just 16 mm2. This facilitates installation and saves time.
