Quickly respond

When you need to respond quickly to a developing situation, the XProtect Smart Client provides everything you need.
Here’s how:
  • Interactive multi-layered maps display live video and precise camera locations to provide you with a graphical system overview
  • A built-in alarm manager provides a consolidated overview of incoming security and system alarms for immediate visual verification
  • Support for XProtect Smart Wall on select products gives operators immersive visualized situational awareness and enables efficient response coordination
  • With two-way audio you can potentially deter crimes, provide guidance and instruction, and complement video with an invaluable extra layer of information





Effectively document

Video evidence is often the best witness. With XProtect Smart Client you get advanced, yet intuitive functions to gather, document and share evidence.
Here’s how:
  • An intuitive video timeline provides an easy overview of recordings to simplify the evidence collection process
  • Centralized Search allows you to search video, motion, alarms, events, bookmarks and ONVIF-compliant metadata all in one place
  • Bookmark enables you to mark video sequences of special interest and makes video investigation more efficient
  • Evidence lock ensures recordings are not deleted prematurely while an investigation is underway
  • Secure evidence handling includes strong password protection and digital signing to prevent unauthorized access to exported video






All-in-one

Need to operate multiple security systems? Don’t worry, third-party applications can be integrated seamlessly into the XProtect Smart Client, giving you a single point for access and management.

Here’s how:

  • Supports third-party integration, which means that operators can access and manage integrated applications directly from the XProtect Smart Client
  • Take advantage of Milestone Marketplace and integrate with XProtect-compatible third-party systems such as access control and video analytics
  • Add extra value and functionality to your video installation with any of our XProtect extension products that work out of the box with XProtect
  • Virtual joystick control provides easy control of pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras from an integrated on-screen window

Ultimate surveillance tool

Whether monitoring an installation 24/7 or just checking in regularly, the XProtect Smart Client’s streamlined interface gives you intuitive functions to manage Milestone installations of any size.
Here's how:
  • Optimal video performance thanks to hardware accelerated decoding that ensures exceptional viewing performance and video quality
  • Reduced total cost of ownership: Moving the decoding process from the software to the GPU greatly reduces the load on the CPU, reducing the wear on the Smart Client hardware
  • Benefit from the latest camera technology:  Add 4K and Ultra HD cameras to your installation and achieve outstanding image quality and detail
  • Comes in 31 languages so you can operate the system in your preferred language





XProtect Web Client

No installation required

If you are off-premise and need to check up on your installation, the XProtect Web Client provides easy access through almost any browser.
Here’s how:
  • Remote access to the surveillance system from all common browsers and computer operating systems
  • Runs on any internet-enabled computer or device without installation, including optional browser plugins
  • Compatible with these browser versions and higher.

Control remotely 

No matter your location, you have control of your security system with the XProtect Web Client.
Here’s how:
  • Instantly view live video from one or multiple cameras, play back video recordings and control pan-tilt-zoom cameras
  • Listen to audio captured by the camera and speak through the camera-connected speakers directly from the Web Client
  • Share video (AVI) or still images (JPEG) with online users, eliminating the need to burn evidence to a DVD or put it on a USB flash drive
  • Even when off-site, users can trigger outputs, such as opening/closing doors and switching lights on/off





Secure access

Don’t worry about cybersecurity, XProtect includes all the mechanisms to keep your system safe in the best possible way.
Here’s how:
  • Certificate-based HTTPS encrypted communication prevents unauthorized access to the streamed video and other communication data between XProtect Web Client and the XProtect Mobile server
  • Two-step verification increases the protection level of your system
  • To prevent unauthorized access to resources, all XProtect servers authorize access requests and grant or deny access based on user permissions



XProtect Mobile

Enables security guards and other users on the go to see, hear and act on any potential incident.
The XProtect Mobile client provides the greatest peace of mind
with access from anywhere via phones and tablets.

Access anywhere

Total awareness and control requires access to your surveillance system from anywhere. XProtect Mobile works with all Milestone products and keeps you on top of the action at all times.
Here’s how:
  • Ensure uninterrupted security operations with the ability to view live video, play back recordings and create export material
  • Never lose a moment with push notifications that notify you when alarms are triggered, or something else needs your attention
  • Add an extra layer of information by listening to audio and speak through the camera using the Push-To-Talk function

Take action

Whether you are onsite or working remotely, XProtect Mobile on your smartphone allows you to maintain control and take action immediately – even on the move.

Here’s how:

  • Document events that the fixed cameras can’t capture by pushing live GPS-enabled video from the mobile device’s camera back to the XProtect system
  • Enjoy security at your fingertips with the ability to control outputs such as light activation and access request control
  • Bookmark live and recorded video directly from your phone to mark specific video sequences for later analysis.

Secure remote access

XProtect is designed to provide the highest protection against external and internal security threats. It offers an array of security mechanisms to protect the system without compromising the system’s flexibility or usability.
Here’s how:
  • The two-step verification process prevents non-authorized people from accessing the system via XProtect Mobile
  • Support for certificate-based HTTPS encrypted communication prevents unauthorized access to the streamed video and other communication data
  • XProtect’s tiered system architecture makes it possible to separate the camera network and the core server network. The Recording Server acts as a gateway between the camera and the server network, ensuring no direct routing between the two network segments
