Milestone XProtect Professional+ video management software uses the same high-performance architecture as Milestone’s advanced VMS suite and builds on the capabilities of Professional to provide a powerful surveillance solution for medium-sized businesses. The software can span across multiple servers and enables operators to manage an unrestricted number of connected cameras, servers and users from one central interface.

XProtect Professional+ is aimed at mid-to-large-sized security installations that spread across multiple buildings, and require a real-time overview of the entire system. Multi-server and Active Directory support allows for efficient deployment and maintenance of distributed systems, and with no limitation to the number of cameras, servers or users - it’s a scalable solution too. Real-time situational overviews of the system and configured alarms are also provided with the use of multi-layer maps and XProtect’s Alarm Manager interface. In addition, edge storage is supported and offers recording redundancy during periods of network loss. XProtect add-on products and third-party software applications remain supported in this version of XProtect and offer a wide range of video solutions to help increase the levels of functionality in a system.

The Open Platform design of Milestone XProtect is compatible with over 6000 IP devices - including models with 4K Ultra HD resolution or H.265 compression format. Hardware support accelerated video motion detection offers a high-performing system but at a lower total cost thanks to the CPU load reduction. Operators are also able to configure several cameras, roles and users simultaneously - a handy time saver when deploying or scaling up a system.

Milestone’s three free interfaces help to provide easy access to the system – anywhere, anytime. XProtect Smart Client offers full control and management of the system when on-site and XProtect Web Client provides remote access to live footage, playback and the sharing of recordings via internet-enabled devices. The free Milestone Mobile app is also available for iOS and Android devices, delivering live views and recording playback - on the go.

Please note: This licence is for the installation of the XProtect Professional+ recording server only. To add camera licences you will need to purchase a Milestone XProtect Professional+ camera licence for each device.
