Milestone Systems A/S is a world market leading software manufacturer of open platform IP video surveillance products, according to IMS Research and Frost & Sullivan market analysts. Milestone' XProtect® products are providing a flexible platform supporting a wide variety of IP camera manufacturers' offerings in video cameras and video servers connected to a LAN, WAN or the Internet. Value-adding integration with other systems via APIs provides the ability to combine data from other systems, devices and components for a truly powerful solution. Use of standard IT equipment, Microsoft Windows operating systems, and IP networks means efficient infrastructure, infinite scalability, and higher return on investments.

The Milestone product line is topped by XProtect Enterprise, a comprehensive multi-server video management system handling unlimited cameras and multiple sites, a Remote Client, .NET based Smart Client, and PDA Client. XProtect Professional provides advanced single-server management of up to 36 cameras per server and is delivered with the Remote Client and optional PDA Client. XProtect Basis+ and XProtect Basis offer scaled-down versions with expanded or essential features and a built-in web server for remote viewing. XProtect Matrix is included in XPE or as an add-on to XPP; it allows distribution of live video streams from any camera to any monitor on the network with the option of a spot monitor setup like a Control Room. XProtect Central is an add-on product that provides complete overview of surveillance system status and alarms from XProtect Enterprise. XProtect Transact is an add-on product that handles loss prevention through video evidence combined with time-linked POS or ATM transaction data, integrated with XProtect Enterprise, Professional or Basis+. XProtect Retail is a customized high-end solution that provides central or local management of loss prevention through XProtect Enterprise IP video surveillance integrated with POS and ERP data on transactions, employees and products.
