Overview of the Milestone XProtect Professional+ - Base Licence

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 allow 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. Support for hardware 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.
