Milestone has become the first video management software platform to integrate the Bosch IP 200 series camera. Both products are ONVIF compliant and milestone are able to offer a plug and play solution.

Bosch IP 225 and 255 cameras.

The Bosch IP 200 series is a brilliant concept for small retail business and the fact that it offers  excellent compression and on board storage means no DVR is required. This makes it a highly appealing option for one or two camera solutions.

Branded as the Techwin DVR, many of the new models have an HDMI output to upscale images to 1080p together with virtual progressive scan.
