XProtect Access Control Module unites access control and video into one powerful security solution. Extending the capabilities of the Milestone Integration Platform (MIP), XProtect Access Control Module enables easy integration of third-party access control solutions into XProtect® Smart Client. It gives users a consolidated interface to operate access control systems. Dedicated functions in XProtect Smart Client enable users to effectively monitor access events, manually control passages and conduct investigations on specific access points or cardholders.
XProtect Access Control Module is not an access control system, but a video-centric user interface that makes the most commonly used access control functions available to XProtect Smart Client users. It is a way to take advantage of Milestone's video management software and market-leading third-party access control systems. A plug-in integration framework allows access control vendors to easily integrate their access control systems with Milestone software to create a powerful and unified solution.
