Why build with ORBNET?
Custom development is not just about writing code. It requires security-sector knowledge, practical integration experience and an understanding of how systems are actually used on site. ORBNET brings those pieces together to help build software that fits the requirement, the environment and the people using it.
ORBNET focuses on security software, video, alarms, access control, mapping and operational integrations. We understand the environment your solution needs to work in.
We build for Milestone XProtect and wider security platforms, helping systems, devices, APIs and workflows connect in practical ways.
ORBNET brings more than 60 years of combined industry experience across security systems, integrations, software development and real-world operational environments.
Custom development often has to work with existing sites, legacy hardware, network limits and operational users. ORBNET designs with those realities in mind.
We help turn complex requirements into clear scope, realistic delivery stages and software that supports the actual business case.
A good integration is not just about connecting systems. ORBNET also focuses on clear interfaces, usable workflows and practical operator experience.
Custom projects can include ongoing support, future enhancements and continued development as your systems, users and requirements evolve.
What ORBNET can build
ORBNET builds custom security software where standard products cannot quite reach. That might be a Milestone XProtect plugin, a device connector, a workflow automation layer, a dashboard, or the middleware needed to make separate systems work together properly.
XProtect is a core strength, but ORBNET also develops integrations across wider security platforms, devices, APIs and operational workflows.
Smart Client, Management Client and workflow extensions for specialist XProtect integrations.
Connect third-party devices, platforms, APIs and security systems into practical operational workflows.
Custom logic for alarms, Generic Events, webhooks, Kafka, SIA, Contact ID and response workflows.
Development around live video, recorded media, streaming, export, transcoding and third-party video use cases.
Focused interfaces for control rooms, technical users and operators who need clearer system workflows.
Integration services, data exchange layers and automation tools that help systems communicate reliably.
Whether the requirement starts with XProtect or sits elsewhere in the security environment, ORBNET can help design and build the missing software layer.
ORBNET Systems Process
Every custom project is different, but the route should be clear. ORBNET follows a structured development process from discovery and scope through build, demonstration, testing, documentation and launch.
We discuss your goals, target systems, operational users and integration vision. Every great build starts with a useful conversation.
We define the deliverables, technical scope, timescales and costs, giving the project a clear commercial and technical shape.
Once approved, we create the project timeline, assign responsibilities and define the development milestones.
We build or replicate the required Milestone XProtect environment, test hardware, software and APIs needed for development.
Our engineers establish the connection, build the core integration logic and prove the architecture works end to end.
We demonstrate the first working version and confirm the project is on track before moving deeper into features and polish.
We improve the interface, add agreed features, refine workflows and turn a working build into something users can operate confidently.
ORBNET and the client test the integration, identify defects, fix issues and keep testing until the behaviour is ready for real use.
We create installation notes, user guidance and supporting documentation so the solution can be deployed and maintained properly.
Where required, we support technical review, partner checks or quality validation for the integration.
ORBNET or the client can prepare a product page, partner listing or customer-facing material to explain the integration.
The solution is ready for users, customers or the wider market, with ongoing support and future development available where needed.
Example project types
Custom development often starts with one awkward gap between systems. These examples show the kind of specialist security software ORBNET can help design, build and refine.
Not sure where your project fits?
If it involves video, alarms, access control, mapping, APIs, devices or XProtect, it is worth a conversation.
Build a Milestone XProtect plugin, driver or interface that helps a manufacturer expose their product inside the VMS ecosystem.
Connect specialist devices, third-party platforms, APIs or site systems into a usable security workflow.
Bring video, telemetry, streaming or recorded media from specialist sources into security platforms and operational workflows.
Create custom logic around alarms, events, monitoring workflows, webhooks, Kafka, Generic Events or response processes.
Build focused interfaces for operators, control rooms or technical teams who need clearer workflows across complex systems.
Move data, commands, events or status information between systems using APIs, services, middleware and automation layers.
