Overview of the Milestone XProtect Expert - Base Licence
Milestone XProtect Expert is advanced IP video management software suitable for medium to large and distributed IP camera installations. With no limitation to the number of cameras, users or recording servers, the software’s powerful central management interfaces help simplify the installation and daily operation of large systems.
Failover recording servers offer reliable video access and recording in the event of network problems or server down-time and camera-based storage ensures that video recordings can be preserved at the edge until network connections are restored. XProtect Expert provides operators with real-time situational overviews of both their system and its configured alarms with the use of multi-layer interactive maps and XProtect’s Alarm Manager interface. The XProtect Smart Wall application is available as an optional add-on and displays a complete system overview, allowing control room operators to efficiently exchange data and coordinate response activities across multiple locations. Other 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 – helpful when integrating the software into existing systems. Additionally, IP cameras with no built-in motion detection can still be fully utilised using XProtect’s software based video motion detection. A range of configuration wizards and automatic camera discovery features are also available to help speed up and simplify installation.
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. In addition, Milestone Mobile is a free application for iOS and Android devices that delivers views of live and recorded video – on the go.
Please note: This licence is for the installation of the XProtect Expert recording server. To add camera licences you will need to purchase an additional Milestone XProtect Expert camera licence for each device. Additionally, the purchase of a Milestone Care Plus plan is mandatory with XProtect Expert and the plan coverage term can be selected from the option above.
