Genetec Or Milestone For 1,400 Cameras Geographically Dispersed - Feedback Appreciated

•Aug 29, 2019

Hello everyone.

I currently manage 35 Pelco Digital Sentry NVR's and over 1400 cameras for a company that is geographically dispersed throughout Alaska, Washington Georgia and several vessels. While Pelco Digital Sentry NVR's are decent for their intended purposes. They are a nightmare to administer when you're an department of one. I have been demoing both Genetec and Milestone at one of our facilities in Washington trying to figure out which one I would like to move to. I'd like to get feedback from all you fine people on your pick. I'd also like to hear your likes and dislikes. The intended installation will be federated so I actually get some feedback and reporting on any issues instead of having 35 independent NVR's that I have to manage each one individually.
