UVS and Milestone Systems continue Alliance partnership

Security and control room video wall specialists UVS have strengthened their alliance with Milestone Systems, the global leader in open-platform IP video management software – through the release of the new UVS Lucidity–Milestone Plugin for Milestone XProtect 2025 R2.

This ongoing collaboration enables both companies to deliver enhanced, integrated solutions for customers across the surveillance sector, powered by the latest Lucidity video wall plugin for Milestone’s XProtect 2025 R2 platform.

Milestone XProtect

Founded in 1998, Milestone Systems, which has its headquarters in Denmark, is a global industry leader in open platform IP video management software.

The XProtect platform delivers powerful surveillance that is easy to manage, reliable and has proven successful in thousands of customer installations around the world.

With support for the widest choice in network hardware and integration with other systems, XProtect provides best-in-class solutions to video enable organisations – managing risks, protecting people and assets, optimising processes and reducing costs.

UVS’ relationship with Milestone goes back almost ten years, when operating as eyevis UK, UVS developed a Plugin to the Milestone XProtect platform for the eyevis video wall control software. UVS subsequently developed its own Lucidity video wall controller Plugin for the XProtect platform back in 2018 and has continued to update and enhanced the Plugin.

Benefits of Lucidity & Milestone

The UVS Lucidity-Milestone Plugin for the latest Milestone XProtect 2025 R2 platform is based on our years of experience in providing video wall systems within security control room applications.

• Display on the video wall of the widest range of security control room sources including:
• IP & analogue video
• Workstation graphic sources e.g. access control, alarm monitoring, mapping
• Web/intranet based data
• Live TV news feeds
• RSS news & organisational status feeds
• Collaborative data from mobile devices such as iPad, Android & phones

Steve Murphy, UVS managing director, said: “Our solution fulfils the need for organisations to display an increasingly wide range of data on the control room video wall including IP video, analogue video, workstation data, network and web based data including collaborative data from the ever-increasing range of mobile devices.”
