Overview
Integrate Inovonics Wireless Sensors - Enhance situational awareness for commercial security and life safety alarms
App-Techs' Bridge to Milestone XProtect (BTX) middle-ware makes it easy to integrate Inovonics sensors and transmitters with Milestone XProtect.App-Techs' BTX (Bridge to XProtect) software connects to and receives wireless sensor alarms via the Inovonics EN6080 Area Control Gateway.
Based on user-defined rules and schedules, BTX receives, transforms, filters, and classifies Inovonics device events into Milestone-ready event and alarm records.
BTX associates the alarm with XProtect cameras and other third-party devices to trigger live camera call-ups, live matrix views, event & alarm records with video bookmarks, PTZ presets, notifications, and XProtect rules.
Result: The activation of an Inovonics wireless sensor springs XProtect into action.
Key features
- Associate Inovonics wireless sensors with XProtect cameras and generate Milestone alarm records with video bookmarks.
- View sensor activations in real-time using Smart Client live matrix views and PTZ commands.
- Trigger an XProtect user-defined event for email / text notifications, PA announcements, strobes, access control commands, and I/O actions.
- Monitor devices health status, including low battery alarms and tampering.
- Integrate any number of Inovonics devices connected to a EN6080 Gateway with one instance of BTX.
How it works
1 of 3
Inovonics sensor alarms are aggregated by the EN6080 Area Gateway. The Bridge-to-Inovonics sub-system authenticates to the gateway, receives sensor alarms, and pushes events and alarms into XProtect.
2 of 3
Watch Inovonics wireless sensors and transmitters make the XProtect Smart Client *POP*. Integrate any number of Inovonics sensors with XProtect and view sensor activation as XProtect events and alarms
3 of 3
BTX includes a sub-system that connects to an Inovonics EN6080 Area Gateway. BTX transposes and filters Inovonics sensor events to generate XProtect event and/or alarm records with Video Bookmarks.
