Milestone Systems, (Copenhagen, Denmark), the open platform company in IP video management software (VMS), and ALSO-Actebis, (Soest, Germany), distributor of IT and consumer electronics products, have signed a distribution agreement to provide Milestone XProtect®IP VMS in Scandinavia.

After investigative dialogues with several providers of video management software (VMS), ALSO-Actebis chose Milestone Systems as its recommended VMS solution partner. The distribution agreement initially covers all of Scandinavia, but allows the opportunity for expansion into the rest of Europe.

“With solutions from small installations of four cameras per site to large implementations with several thousand cameras, Milestone can handle all types of requirements from the market,” says Michael Hygild Sorensen, Product Sales Specialist at ALSO-Actebis. “We want to work with the industry’s leading producers, which we have evaluated Milestone definitely to be: this is documented by the fact that for many years they have been reported as the global leader for open platform IP video surveillance software by IMS Research. Milestone solutions span a wide spectrum and have many vertical sector-specific applications that our channel will benefit from. Our companies’ agreement ensures that our dealers can offer the market-leading software to support the strong camera brands we carry, such as Bosch, Canon, HIKvision and D-Link.”
