Barix of Oakdale, Minn., and Milestone Systems of Beaverton, Ore., have integrated the Barix Exstreamer audio over IP device with Milestone XProtect IP video management software (VMS).
Milestone XProtect IP video software now supports Barix one-way (public address/paging) and two-way (surveillance and intercom) audio. The Barix Exstreamer IP audio devices introduce live paging and other one-way audio events, allowing operators to announce warnings, trigger alarms and deliver other notifications to external sites. Barix Annuncicom IP devices enable surveillance, intercom and other two-way audio streams for direct communication with subjects in security and general situations.
The open-platform nature of Milestone and Barix solutions ensures that video and audio streams are live over the same technology, simplifying integration, according to both companies. Barix one-way and two-way audio devices work within new deployments and retrofits of existing XProtect systems.
