Milestone XProtect 2020 R2 video management software

Searching for evidence is one of the core missions of video management operations, but it can sometimes become a time-consuming task. With Milestone Systems’ XProtect video management software, the ambition is to enable users to work smarter by allowing them to spend less time searching and more time finding.

In the 2020 R2 update, the Search framework is extended to include three more Search categories, allowing users to search through ONVIF compliant metadata. This means that users can now target their searches by searching for people/humans, vehicles and location. This provides users with more filtering options to work smarter and find what they are looking for in a manner that is fast, easy and targeted. The extra Search categories work out of the box and support any device generating ONVIF-compliant metadata.

Often large-scale installations make use of multilayered maps in their video operations to create a visual overview of, for example, camera placements and incoming alarms. With the 2020 R2 update it is possible to visualise the centralised Search results on a Smart Map, ensuring that the operator immediately understands where the potential incident is happening. This capability ensures complete situational awareness and enables the operator to make fast and evidence-based decisions.

The 2020 R2 release contains many more improved features and capabilities such as direct streaming, improved security, a Server Configurator, device packs and improvements to the Customer Dashboard.
