Code Blue - Milestone Integration with BTX
App-Techs is pleased to partner with Code Blue Corporation as its designated Milestone integration specialist.
App-Techs' Code Blue integration with Milestone XProtect greatly enhances the safety profile of Code Blue kiosks by connecting incoming Code Blue alarms with your wider video and security network.
App-Techs offers integrations with the legacy ToolVox Management System and Blue Alert® Connect & Monitor.
BTX (Bridge to Milestone XProtect) - App-Techs' signature integration middleware - powers this integration solution.
Code Blue's enhanced Milestone integration capabilities include:
- Activate Smart Client matrix views
- Trigger PTZ commands (point cameras to the scene of a call)
- Notify field security personnel electronically
- Activate audio alarms, strobes, PA announcements, and other output devices
- Initiate access control commands (lock & unlock doors, etc.)
- Geo-locate kiosk call source in real-time
- Generate Milestone event and alarm records with video bookmarks
- Trigger Milestone user-defined events
- Monitor online/offline status
- Sync Code Blue kiosks with video analytics assets
Integrate any number of Code Blue devices. Multiple Toolvox and/or Blue Alert servers can connect to a single instance of BTX. Monitor kiosk station status and send notifications when a station is offline. Trigger valuable Milestone actions based on kiosk zone / location.
Case Study Example: A call button in a campus parking lot is pushed by a confused visitor trying to find an exit. When the phone rings, the security guard looks at a Smart Client to see a live view of the caller. A map icon indicates the call box is in the parking lot's northeast corner. A text notification is sent to the parking attendant responsible for the Northeast entrance. Using the live view, the security guard explains to the caller that the parking lot exit is to his / her right. The caller and the security guard have the information needed to resolve the situation.

BTX-Code Blue Smart Client Features
How It Works
App-Techs' BTX (Bridge to XProtect) software listens for incoming events and alarms from a ToolVox or Blue Alert media gateway.
Based on user-defined rules and schedules, BTX receives, transforms, filters, and classifies the data into Milestone-ready event and alarm records.
BTX associates the processed records with user-designated cameras and other third-party devices.
The data is forwarded to XProtect.
XProtect generates live camera views, matrix displays, event & alarm records, electronic notifications, video bookmarks, and initiates user-defined events for ALL devices associated with the processed Code Blue alarm record.
Result: The push of Code Blue call button springs your video and security network into tangible action.
