The Milestone XProtect Expert Video Management System Base License is an open platform that provides a centralized control system for available/compatible cameras, encoders, DVRs, access control units, and other security software such as facial recognition. It is a scalable management system designed for large scale and multi-site areas that require video surveillance.
The VMS includes three XProtect clients (interfaces) that enable users to access live and recorded video to gain real-time situational awareness and investigate incidents. The clients share common design and basic functionality, simplifying switching between the interfaces as your needs require. Please note that this is a license for the VMS software, which does not expire, however, adding available cameras requires the purchase of a license for each camera.
Please note: This base license must be paired with a separate, appropriate device license, such as B&H item #MIXPETDL.
Client Interface
Smart Client is the primary user interface for security operators and other daily users. Its adaptable user interface provides both basic and advanced users with an interface optimized for their particular tasks.
Web Client provides flexible access to video surveillance systems and can be used as the simplified daily viewing client for users with basic needs. It allows users to view, play
back and share video through any Internet-enabled computer or device.
Users can access surveillance on-the-go with Milestone Mobile, an application for viewing, playing back and exporting video. Available for download on the App Store and Google Play, the application gives instantaneous access to XProtect systems via Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G connections.
Open Platform
The system's open platform allows third-party vendors to write or modify their software and hardware systems to work within the XProtect VMS, thus allowing for continued expansion of products and capabilities as they are developed (requires purchase of an optional upgrade license).
The VMS supports the components beyond cameras that a surveillance system requires, such as network routers, switches, wiring, servers, backup power supplies and management and recording software. Many third party components are supported by the VMS, allowing you to choose the available components that best meet your needs.
The open nature of the XProtect platform allows you to integrate independent security and business systems into the VMS. This allows you to use surveillance video for many purposes, such as training, quality assurance in production control or logistics, delivery and inventory status, insurance claims, employee procedures and environmental hazard monitoring.
Scalable
A flexible licensing model gives you the freedom to add new technologies as they are developed, allowing you to continually update and improve your solution.
Situational Awareness
Interactive, Multi-Layered Maps
A comprehensive visual overview of cameras and layouts, providing a complete overview of the entire installation
Alarm Manager
Integrated with the map function, it gives a consolidated overview of security and system alarms, providing immediate visual verification
Customer Dashboard
Resellers can monitor the system health of XProtect Enterprise installations to ensure optimal operation
Camera Navigator
Shows camera locations, names and view areas, making complex locations easy to navigate and allowing you to efficiently track moving objects
Video Evidence Integrity
Uninterrupted Availability of Recordings
When a hard disk is removed from the system, recordings can always be viewed through XProtect Smart Client - Player, which is stored on the drive to ensure continuous access to video recordings
MKV Format Export:
Export option that allows video to be exported in the same format as it was originally recorded so it can be viewed in standard video players
Continuous Evidence Availability
For installations whose highest priority is to collect video evidence, specific settings can prevent video from never being deleted
Performance & Reliability
64-bit Recording Server
Allows users to run more cameras on less hardware
Long-Term Video Storage
Dynamic archiving saves valuable disk space by storing short-term video on fast, local disks while historical data is moved to less expensive, networked disk systems
Dual Streaming
Two independent, configurable video streams for live and recorded viewing
Motion Detection
Saves hardware use even when additional cameras are added
Licenses
Your software does not expire, however software upgrades and adding cameras to your system requires a Software Upgrade License (SUP). The SUP provides software upgrades and must be purchased for the entire system, which means the base system and any device licenses such as for cameras or door controller units.
