IDEAL Networks will present their newly launched or recently updated products including network, data cable and IP CCTV testers at GITEX 2018, Dubai during 14-18 October 2018 to provide intuitive and flexible test solutions for cable installers, network technicians and systems integrators. The show is one of the first opportunities to see the new range of touchscreen network and data cable testers from IDEAL Networks. NaviTEK NT Plus and Pro network troubleshooters, SignalTEK CT data cable transmission testers and SignalTEK NT network transmission testers are all now available with an LCD capacitive touchscreen as standard to enable fast and responsive data input which helps save time and increase efficiency on every job. The new SecuriTEST IP CCTV tester, an installation and troubleshooting tester for digital/ IP, HD coax and analogue CCTV camera systems designed to increase productivity, will also be on the show. The handheld device is multi-function, so technicians do not need to take varied equipment to each installation or maintenance job. It connects quickly to cameras via in-built RJ-45, Wi-Fi and BNC ports and features a 7-inch hi-res touchscreen and simple to use functions, so even on complex jobs only a single tester is needed. In addition, IDEAL Networks will present the latest upgrades to the popular LanTEK III cable certifier. To support fast and straightforward cable certification for busy cable installers, the tester has been upgraded with a new Quick Setup feature which enables almost all configuration and testing to be performed on just one intuitive screen. The software for LanTEK III has also recently been updated to help installers certify Modular Plug Terminated Links (MPTLs) using their existing cat 6A Permanent Link and Channel Adapters. This provides a flexible solution for installers using cat 6A cable for wireless access points, AV equipment and CCTV cameras, where MPTLs are likely to be used. IDEAL Networks offers easy to use data cable testers for cable installers and network testers to assist IT technicians with troubleshooting. The data cable tester range includes copper and fibre testers for cable verification, Ethernet transmission testing and cable certification that provide proof of performance. The unique network tester range helps pinpoint and solve networking issues quickly. They decrease downtime by allowing field technicians to discover the root cause of network connectivity issues such as incorrect IP configuration, rogue network services, network bandwidth issues and PoE supply problems.

Milestone Systems has released Device Pack 9.9 for partners and customers using Milestone XProtect® video solutions. The bi-monthly device packs contain software updates for XProtect VMS to support new hardware. 209 new devices have been added to this release, bringing the total of supported devices to more than 7,500. Enhanced support for the ONVIF industry standard Milestone works closely with device manufacturers in the Milestone community to achieve optimal interaction between their devices and XProtect VMS. The same rigorous testing applies to driver standards like ONVIF – a priority for Milestone. This Device Pack has a particular focus on cybersecurity for ONVIF. Support has been added for more types of security certificates. This enables better authentication of devices. Automated retrieval of recordings from devices with edge storage is another new feature, primarily aimed at body worn cameras. When a body worn camera is docked, XProtect can detect it and download high-quality video recordings from the device’s internal storage. Before ONVIF-supported devices are listed in the supported hardware list on milestonesys.com, they have been Device Pack 9.9 Milestone Systems Steps up Device Support tested to ensure 100% functionality with the XProtect open platform technology. This enables the Milestone community to pick the best devices for their end-customers, from the market’s broadest selection. They can be assured of the functionality of any supported device.
