Milestone Systems of Beaverton, Ore., has released XProtect Corporate 3.1 video management software with a new version of the GUI called Smart Client 5.0 that offers functionality such as the Sequence Explorer investigation tool and independent playback to increase efficiency in security operations and investigations.
Milestone’s version 3.1 of XProtect Corporate is designed for large-scale security implementations and supports unlimited cameras, users and sites. This release includes streamlined and optimized installation procedures for easier deployment, Management Server Failover using Windows Server Clustering, plus Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 support.
Also, XProtect Smart Client uses a layout to allow users to show only the dialogs preferred or needed for surveillance tasks, or hide them for a pure full-screen viewing mode.
XProtect Smart Client offers a feature called Sequence Explorer that previews tiled video from recorded sequences or time intervals from multiple cameras. The Sequence Explorer displays a drag-and-throw wall of video preview images in thumbnails for closer scrutiny of details.
Milestone XProtect Smart Client now also provides video overlay playback controls to view individual cameras in live mode. This means that operators can play back events on one camera without losing track of what happens live. This feature also works in the normal playback mode so operators can see recorded camera images in the view from different times. Overlay buttons can also be added on each camera to facilitate common actions such as triggering events and outputs, using PTZ, and other tracking tasks.
XProtect Smart Client 5.0 displays up to 100 concurrent cameras in a single view with unlimited numbers of more via carousel and HotSpot windows.
