Overview of the Milestone XProtect Expert Base Licence

Milestone XProtect delivers world-leading video management software suitable for all applications, from small-scale all the way up to city-sized installations. An array of advanced monitoring and security features make Milestone XProtect a highly reliable and flexible solution for viewing live video, investigating recorded footage, and managing IP devices and servers across multiple installation sites.

The Expert variant is a high availability system designed for mid-sized to large-scale installations which acts as a central point of administration for all system components and settings across networks, with support for an unlimited number of devices and recording servers, with access to hot and cold failover recording servers.

Both new and existing installations can take advantage of Milestone XProtect’s open-platform architecture, allowing compatibility with over 13,000 different devices from all professional IP device manufacturers, meaning businesses can expand with limited restrictions. Furthermore, with allowance for an unrestricted number of users accessing the system at once, larger organisations with several servers across numerous sites can ensure bases are covered from all angles. For viewing, recording and exporting footage, the three feature-rich viewing interfaces make this straightforward for all level of user, including remote access from mobile or tablet. In addition to the abundance of features already included with Milestone XProtect Expert, an expanding number of extensions can be integrated to further increase scalability, supplying the tools your business needs to continually meet demands as they evolve over time.

Video Management

From mid-sized applications such as warehouses up to large-scale operations including stadiums, Milestone XProtect Expert provides flexibility and scalability when it comes to delivering an effective and advanced video management solution, capable of being tailored to meet bespoke business requirements. Connect an unlimited number of IP devices such as cameras, servers, audio devices and more thanks to the software’s licencing plan, by simply adding a camera licence per device to make unrestricted network expansion straightforward. Support for Edge storage and Failover servers ensures recording redundancy and improves availability, delivering uninterrupted access to video during routine maintenance and system failures. Thanks to hardware-accelerated video decoding (NVIDIA) for motion detection, system performance is optimised whilst reducing the total running costs by decreasing the overall load on the recording server CPU.

The system provides a real-time overview of all feeds and installations spanning across multiple sites, for a single point of administration and centralised management. The Expert variant can be licensed to include XProtect Smart Wall, a customisable video wall solution displaying the most relevant and critical footage on up to 100 display windows with an unlimited number of simultaneous streams across users, for an enhanced overview of the entire network all from a single access point allowing operators to implement actions from multiple users.

Please note: This licence is for the installation of the XProtect Expert full system. To add camera licences you will need to purchase an additional Milestone XProtect Expert camera licence for each device.

Viewing Clients

XProtect Expert supports advanced system monitoring features, including a customisable dashboard for specific monitoring relating to certain tasks, as well as event trigger thresholds allowing users flexibility to manage different responses to normal, warning and critical level events. Rely on real-time and historical camera and server statuses, helping maintain the health of the network.

Accessing and recording video footage is easy through the three viewing interfaces:

  • The powerful Smart Client viewing software is an industry leading all-in-one monitoring tool, providing complete access, control and monitoring of any sized system through a desktop PC or workstation.
  • Occasional and remote users can access live and recorded footage from a modern web browser without the need for additional software with the Milestone Web Client.
  • For users on the go, the Mobile Client allows them to act on incidents from anywhere by enabling remote access from smartphones or tablets (iOS and Android).

Security

A multitude of built-in cybersecurity configurations come as standard with Milestone XProtect, maintaining the integrity of personal and sensitive data, giving you peace of mind that the data is protected from internal and external threats. Tools such as HTTPS and high-level certificate-based encryption ensures secure communication of video, audio and metadata, whilst digital signing and re-export prevention means any exported material is fully authentic and free from tampering. Dual authentication grants access to selected users only with the input of additional (manager/supervisor) credentials, whilst support for Microsoft Active Directory (groups and users) and Single Sign-on (SSO) means pre-existing roles and groups can be given access to cameras, with full traceability of user actions via audit logs.
