We have added a new data collector background service which connects directly to the hardware devices to retrieve critical metrics.
We are in phase 1 of the data collection where the data is being retrieved and stored in the database for future use. Currently the data collector works with Axis, Hanwha and Bosch and is focused on retrieving SD card information from the devices.
Our clients are using camera hardware edge-storage in conjunction with Milestone XProtect as a backup to standard server failover methodologies.
The edge-storage feature in XProtect is very powerful but the issue is managing the SD-cards themselves. When you are dealing with thousands of cameras, staying on top of the edge-storage is an almost impossible task as administrators do not have a tool to help them understand the overall health across the enterprise.
We are striving to change that and help Milestone XProtect administrators gain insight into the unknown.
As the use of multi-site management grows we are finding that many of our clients are using a shared SQL server for multiple management servers.
Our first release did not allow for this topology but by popular demand, we can now support multiple management servers on the same SQL server or SQL server cluster.
We have also added this feature to our silent installation process!
For our clients that have more than a handful of management servers we have added some interface enhancements to help you get what you need…fast.
Updates include:
