Milestone announces Husky M20

October 2016 Surveillance, Integrated Solutions, Products & Solutions

Milestone Systems announced the Milestone Husky M20 NVR with NVR-optimised Milestone XProtect Professional. This NVR is designed after feedback from the Milestone Community where the need for fast deployable video solutions is rising.

Installation of this high performance unit is fast and easy for the Milestone community partners. They can depend on Milestone Husky M20 as a quickly deployable building block for easy video business solutions. The software is an NVR-optimised version of XProtect Professional with Smart Start enabling compatible cameras to be automatically configured when connected to the Husky M20. The Smart Start plug-and-play features enable automatic camera discovery, automatic IP address allocation, automatic allocation of camera storage to hard drives to balance load and automatic allocation of the camera to a view in XProtect.

The Husky M20 features an integrated managed switch with 8 or 16 ports capable of delivering power to connected devices (PoE+). This means that up to 16 PoE-enabled cameras can be directly connected to the M20, requiring little to no installation or configuration. The Husky M20/16 port-version is easily powerful enough to handle up to 24 cameras with room for expansion.

The hardware is based on the latest Intel Skylake architecture for a high-performance, but power-efficient unit. The M20 is 2U rack mountable unit housing two user-replaceable disk drives making installation and maintenance an easy task. The use of XProtect enables the Husky M20 to be a part of a large video network, connecting to other compatible Husky NVRs or XProtect Professional systems in a master/slave setup.

Milestone Customer Dashboard enables Milestone channel partners to monitor customer systems’ status creating the possibility of proactive service to ensure non-stop operations. Milestone Customer Dashboard requires Milestone Care Plus support services. The disk sub-system supports a 200 Mbit/s recording rate enabling use of the latest megapixel cameras.

The system includes four low voltage I/O ports for alarm use. This means that The Milestone Husky M20 can be used with compatible software as a basic alarm system. It could be with door controllers for a simple access control system or any other kind of industry standard controllers.
