Milestone Releases Next-Generation Software for Connected Solutions

Milestone Systems has recently released XProtect 2017 R2.

Milestone meets the increasing demand for connected business and video systems by releasing three new products – XProtect Essential+, XProtect Express+ and XProtect Professional+.

These new products cover installations from a few to thousands of cameras. All the products fully support hardware acceleration, where system performance can be boosted just by adding a supported graphics card that can handle the heavy lifting in decoding video, leaving room for the system to handle other tasks.

Expanding Possibilities through Connectivity

Support for Milestone’s integration programming platform (MIP SDK) and built-in customization options with the rules engine, enable tailored video solutions made by Milestone Partners. This could be video analytics or integrations to other systems like building management systems, financial systems or other enterprise systems.

XProtect Express+ and XProtect Professional+ support Milestone Interconnect, enabling these systems to be part of a larger network of video business systems.

These new products re[prted;u open new possibilities for the Milestone Community because they enable video service solutions targeted to each customer’s needs. If the customer has the Milestone Care maintenance service, system performance monitoring can be handled online to give all the benefits of advanced video systems with full remote operation.

“We are positioned to drive open platform innovation through the solution power of the Milestone Community,” said Bjørn Skou Eilertsen, chief technical officer, Milestone Systems. “With these new products, we are giving our community a whole new range of possibilities. Milestone proactively designs for the market trends we see growing with networked systems.”

The XProtect 2017 R2 update also includes several security enhancements for improved cybersecurity, including securing the video recordings using strong encryption for the media database. The integrity of the recordings is ensured by digitally signing using SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2), an important security standard. These new features support Milestone in meeting the security demands of customers.

As part of the continued refining of Milestone’s software usability, audio functionality in XProtect has been enhanced. New features have also been added for handling maps to improve operational efficiency.

XProtect 2017 R2 is available through the Milestone Partner community now.
