XProtect is a VMS software developed by Milestone capable of highly flexible customizations with secure solutions for all types of businesses, from a small flower shop with a few cameras to an airport with over 1000.
We have already mentioned here on the blog that the line features 5 main models: XProtect Essential+, XProtect Express+, XProtect Professional+, XProtect Expert, and XProtect Corporate.
To help you understand their unique features and determine the best choice for your company, we are presenting each of them in a “blog series.”
And now it's time to talk about the favorite for medium to large installation projects, XProtect Expert. Let’s go?
Proactively and live monitoring
The XProtect Expert was designed by video security experts to incorporate the latest and most innovative technologies developed by Milestone, such as its native RAM-based Windows recording engine to ensure minimal recording rates of about 3.1 Gbit/s.
Additionally, the license also supports edge storage servers and failover to ensure continuous operation and uninterrupted access to video.
Not to mention that it supports NVIDIA and Intel GPUs for unmatched performance, with lower CPU load and significant savings.
And we cannot forget the push notifications that alert the operator whenever something in the system requires attention; and its proactive monitoring to ensure the system's integrity is always assessed.
Designed for the future
The Expert license is not only an excellent option for medium to large projects due to its unrestricted number of servers, cameras, and users, but it also features an open platform architecture that allows new technologies to be added to your system as they become available.
Moreover, if we combine the MIP SDK with its open architecture, it is possible to create powerful integrations with unlimited functionalities, further increasing the value of your surveillance system.
Being highly customizable, it provides you with various features, such as:
- Cost reduction in storage with H.265 compression technology;
- Direct access to the Milestone Marketplace – a gateway to dozens of verified applications, hardware, and services;
- Reduction of hardware costs and bandwidth usage with support for multi and adaptive streaming;
- Inclusion of metadata such as motion, bounding boxes, LPR, and audio from smart devices, and much more;
Simple and user-friendly interface
In addition to all the benefits mentioned, the VMS also features a simple and intuitive interface that allows users to react instantly to incidents.
With it, you will have support for XProtect Smart Wall – Milestone's video wall solution – so that users can have an immersive situational awareness and efficient response coordination.
Furthermore, with its centralized search function, it is possible to search for videos, movements, alarms, events, markers, and ONVIF-compatible metadata all in one place. You can also save your search templates for future use.
Last but not least, it allows you to automate standard security functions with an integrated rule engine, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
Protecting the system against threats
The XProtect Expert offers a wide range of security features that protect your system against both internal and external attacks, without compromising its flexibility or usability, such as:
- HTTPS communication for bidirectional encryption of recording server communications;
- SSL/TLS certificate-based dual encryption between recording servers and all other system components;
- Two-factor authentication for secure system login;
- Additional encryption, digital signatures, and re-export prevention to ensure that exported material is 100% authentic;
- Advanced function management for close monitoring of access rights and efficient management of multi-user installations;
