Quotable Quips

My phone in my pocket is my office no matter where I am in the wild. Milestone Mobile makes me powerful. Policing has been reactive but this integrative technology moves it to proactive.

Sgt. O’Hare Hartford Police Dept. 2018

Artificial Intelligence is the next evolution of video analytics, but instead of building algorithms around something that we’re looking at, we’re building systems that actually learn what’s happening, on the fly.

Mike Sherwood Dir. of Technical Operations, Milestone Systems

Trust in technology is a pressing issue of our time.

Satya Nadella on WSJ.com Oct 2016

Milestone is driven to see one another in our community succeed. We cannot develop new innovations in a vacuum. The best understand it takes more than just one company alone. Those who share the same mission can collaborate. Instead of making one small step for mankind, together we can take many small steps for a bigger leap!

Mike Sherwood Dir. Technical Services, Milestone

What most customers are looking for is interoperability; openness to work with multiple cameras; switches; servers; integration with access control and other third-party products; and to do all of that reliably. It allows the customer to feel like they aren’t being cornered, they aren’t being put into a proprietary-type situation that they might regret later.

Brent Edmunds President and Co-Founder, Stone Security

While the total solution should be the focus of any installation, there is risk in deploying a complete end-to-end solution from a single manufacturer as you may not be leveraging the best technology for each functional requirement. In addition, tackling a full solution as a single project adds complexity and introduces installation challenges which can ultimately lead to issues with customer satisfaction.

Mike Sherwood Milestone Systems Americas Director of Technical Operations

The Internet has been one of the most important inventions of modern life and has provided a foundation for innovations that we now rely on. Interestingly, this level of reliance on the Internet has only come about within the last 10 years with the introduction of the full screen smart phone. Indeed, standards can move slowly, even once they have seen full adoption it still takes time for innovation. But once innovation starts, it is exponential in growth, and to support this growth you must have a solid foundational standard.

Mike Sherwood Milestone Systems Americas Director of Technical Operations
