The Milestone XProtect Central solution offers you central scalability of monitoring any number of Milestone XProtect Enterprise installations.

With the increased security demands in today’s world, video surveillance can be a mission-critical operation that requires maximum up-time and total overview. Networked video systems include a variety of servers and devices that must be running properly in order to play their part in the overall security implementation, and the video paths from each camera across the infrastructure to the recording server contain numerous ‘points of failure’: if any of the devices fail to record or display the video, the outcome for the organization could be devastating.

Milestone XProtect Central can help prevent this. It provides continuous monitoring of the operational status and event-triggered alarms from Milestone XProtect Enterprise servers, video surveillance cameras and external devices like access control units from different vendors. This powerful solution gives security operators instant graphical overview of alarms, and notification on technical problems with immediate visual verification so you can resolve issues fast.
 

 

Feature highlights include:

• Centralized overview and control of operational status and alarms from XProtect Enterprise servers, network cameras, and external devices like PIR and access control units allows operators to manage even large video surveillance installations.
   
• Hierarchical multi-level maps make it easy to navigate to and identify an incident’s location and the system entities that are involved.
   
• Visual and audible alerting supports busy environments like alarm centrals.
   
• Instant access to servers and camera devices for visual verification ensures quick response.
   
• To spread the workload and provide backup capacity, alarm management can be assigned to multiple simultaneous operators with individual operator rights.
   
• The broad range of events available for triggering alarms allows customization to fit the requirements of each organization.
   
• Full alarm management provides surveillance operators with the option to acknowledge or reassign alarms or to ‘snooze’ specific incidents in case of scheduled maintenance.
   
• Integration with third party access control or intruder devices via XProtect Enterprise gives inter-operability for the most comprehensive overview of your security installation.
   
• Utilize Microsoft Active Directory users and groups for operator authentication and authorization.
   
• Define role-based groups and assign operators to these to achieve different access rights by type or camera.
   
• Client/Server based architecture uses HTTP and XML for data communication.
   
• Incoming alarms and system information are logged centrally in the SQL database.
