Integrations

To make video surveillance more secure and easier to manage, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise works with video management system vendors like Milestone. The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® Milestone Plugin provides seamless integration with the Milestone XProtect® video  management software (VMS). 

The plugin delivers enhanced network security and improved efficiency for organisations operating mission-critical video surveillance networks, where camera uptime is essential.

Benefits of the Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch Milestone Plugin include

• Camera status visibility: See the video surveillance working status at a glance alongside Power over Ethernet (PoE) consumption and maximum PoE  available
• Lock ports: Lock camera ports to prevent outside tampering and increase network security
• Remote testing and troubleshooting: Test individual camera status with one click, and reset, if necessary. Ensure power to critical devices under any circumstance with PoE priority established on a per camera basis
• Quick retrieval of information: View real-time information on the network switch and status, including model, version, IP address, location, PoE consumption and temperature
• Alarm manager: Send the event to the VMS to quickly alert the administrator about any issues with the infrastructure
• Power over Ethernet prioritisation: The OmniSwitch allows the administrator to specify PoE priority levels on a port-by-port basis
• Quick resolution: Quickly resolve the majority of camera issues by enabling rapid camera port reset
