Easy video data sharing

The background image in image feature allows operators to keep an eye on a specific camera while performing other tasks, ensuring continuous situational awareness. Furthermore, native screenshots in Mobile Clients provide operators with a quick and easy way to capture and share video images, enhancing collaboration and communication among team members.

Fast and efficient installations

The software update includes a better installation experience, such as the availability of a system prerequisites check, SQL database backups, and faster installation times.

Additionally, with webhook functionality, administrators can easily integrate with platforms without the need for coding, such as Zapier or IFTTT, to turn XProtect events into SMS messages, calls, new tickets, team messages, or even trigger lights. This provides greater flexibility for users, allowing them to further customize their use of XProtect to meet their specific needs.

With the 2023 R1 update, Milestone once again demonstrates its commitment to providing a platform connected to user needs, easy to use, and efficient for data-driven video management.
