COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Milestone Systems and IQSIGHT, formerly Bosch Video Systems, today announced the global release of SmartSuite, a consolidated plugin suite that embeds intelligent video analytics from IQSIGHT directly into Milestone’s XProtect video management software (VMS).
“Streamlining system setup and leveraging rich metadata, the SmartSuite integration empowers security professionals to configure hardware, surface analytics and manage operations within XProtect as a single pane of glass,” according to the joint announcement.
Bringing this data from SmartSuite directly into XProtect “adds intelligence to deliver deeper forensic insights, accelerated incident response and operational efficiency, providing the foresight needed for organizations to proactively address security and safety risks,” the announcement says.
What Are the Benefits of the SmartSuite Plugin?
Key benefits of SmartSuite include:
Enhances operator awareness and investigation
- Surfaces rich metadata within XProtect, including color‑coded bounding boxes, object classification, trajectory lines and gunshot direction indicators.
- Supports forensic search and real‑time metadata visualization for Intelligent Video Analytics Pro (IVA Pro) analytics, such as appearance and personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Compatible with IVA Pro visual gun detection designed to detect a person brandishing a gun and promptly alert personnel to support faster threat identification in environments such as schools.
Streamlines installation and system setup
- Reduces installation time for system integrators by up to 70% by consolidating three separate plug‑ins into one unified suite, based on IQSIGHT’s in‑house testing of the three new SmartSuite plug-ins.
- Includes panoramic de‑warping and hardware control features such as wipers and infrared illumination.
- Adds Project Assistant import capabilities, enabling automatic configuration of Bosch camera names, groups, network settings, and image adjustments to speed up commissioning.
Simplifies device configuration
- Allows integrators to configure Bosch cameras directly within the XProtect Management Client, eliminating the need to log in to each device or switch between Milestone and external configuration environments.
- Introduces fast event subscription, making it easier to set up analytics-driven alarms and notifications.
SmartSuite is available globally, free of charge, and can be downloaded here.
