Security without blind spots. That’s what the new JanusC4 integration with Milestone Systems’ XProtect video management software (VMS) offers, and it’s now available.
At Grosvenor Technology, we’ve built this integration to bring together two critical pillars of modern security – access control and video surveillance – into a single, unified platform. Whether you manage a single building or a large enterprise estate, you can now monitor, investigate and respond to incidents faster and with greater confidence than ever before.
Why This Integration Matters
Security teams are under increasing pressure to do more with less. Fragmented systems mean slower response times, missed events, and unnecessary operational complexity.
By connecting JanusC4 access control with Milestone XProtect’s advanced video management, your team gains a single pane of glass for monitoring, investigation, and incident response – eliminating the need to switch between systems when it matters most.
What You Can Do With JanusC4 + XProtect
Access Monitor in Milestone Smart Client
View live and historical access control events side-by-side with video footage – all within the Milestone interface. This enables faster decision-making and better situational awareness when incidents occur.
Access Control Tab Integration
A dedicated tab within Milestone Smart Client gives operators everything they need in one place:
- View cardholder details
- Manually grant or deny access
- Trigger door actions
- Operators never need to leave the Milestone interface, even during critical moments.
- Alarm Settings & Rules Engine
Automate your security responses using Milestone’s powerful rules engine, triggered by JanusC4 access events:
- Trigger video recording when a door is forced
- Activate lights or alarms based on access activity
- Send notifications to operators on specific access violations
- Map Icons & Device Visualisation
Access control devices appear directly on Smart Client maps, giving operators at-a-glance visibility of:
- Door status
- Alarm triggers
- Live event data
This visual layer improves response times and helps teams interpret complex events faster.
Powered by Orbnet
Behind the scenes, the JanusC4–XProtect integration is made possible by Orbnet – a dedicated integration layer developed to bridge the two platforms reliably and at scale.
Orbnet handles the heavy lifting: connecting your JanusC4 access control data with Milestone XProtect’s camera and event management, so everything appears seamlessly within the Milestone Smart Client. It’s what transforms two powerful but separate systems into one unified security platform.
Key capabilities delivered through Orbnet include:
- Compatibility with over 5,000 camera types supported by Milestone XProtect
- Camera playback and live view, linked directly to access events
- Alarms, events and door commands managed from a single interface
- Map integration, with access control devices visible across Smart Client maps
- A familiar tree structure, mirroring the layout JanusC4 users already know
Please note: this is an advanced integration. We recommend that users have working experience with both JanusC4 and Milestone XProtect before configuring the Orbnet integration. Our team is on hand to support you through setup and beyond.
Who Benefits?
This integration is built for organisations where physical security and operational accountability go hand in hand:
- Multi-site enterprises needing centralised control across buildings and locations
- Logistics and warehousing operations where access accountability is mission-critical
- Critical infrastructure teams requiring real-time incident response and a full audit trail
