Raytec announced its integration with Milestone’s XProtect video management system. Their new range of VARIO IP network illuminators is the first range of CCTV illuminators in the world ever to be integrated into a video management system, Raytec stated.

“The new integration allows the highest level of flexibility, management and control over your lighting in conjunction with all other network technologies in your security system, from one central platform,” the company said.

The integration is made possible via Raytec Milestone plug-in software, available free-of-charge from the Raytec website via online request form.

Controlled individually or in groups, Raytec network illuminators can be easily configured using the Milestone Management Application, to create a smart system designed to provide event-driven lighting triggered by alarms from a camera, detector or other network device. Such illumination on demand is highly effective at deterring crime and reducing the system’s running cost and environmental impact, described Raytec.

Users also can take instant manual control of any single illuminator or group of illuminators using the Milestone Smart Client, during day-to-day operation. Advanced settings allow for user-defined lighting design to meet the requirements of any installation.
