COPENHAGEN—Milestone Systems, a provider of open platform video management software (VMS), has announced the launch of its R2 update for 2024 to its XProtect platform.
The European-based company says that its latest software release introduces its XProtect Remote Manager, a cloud-connected service that is designed to enhance the value of Milestone Systems‘ Care Plus subscriptions. The new R2 update also introduces what Milestone Systems says are improvements to the user experience, along with expanded language support.
According to the company, as organizations increasingly seek flexible, efficient ways to manage their video security systems, it is expanding the value of its Care Plus subscription. Milestone Systems asserts one of the methods it is employing to increase that value is through the introduction of XProtect Remote Manager, a cloud-connected service that allows XProtect administrators to monitor the health and status of distributed XProtect installations in one view from anywhere through a browser.
With the R2 update and XProtect Remote Manager, administrators can utilize these new system features:
- View real-time health status of devices and servers across multiple sites
- Manage basic camera settings remotely
- Grant or revoke reseller access to customer sites
R2 Update and XProtect Remote Manager the First Step in Long-Term VMS Development
Milestone Systems notes that while XProtect Remote Manager is still in its early stages, it represents a significant step in its cloud strategy, laying the groundwork for future enhancements and capabilities. The R2 update in conjunction with the latest XProtect release also includes updates aimed at improving user experience and expanding global accessibility:
- A new layout for video grids in Mobile Clients for Tablets, optimizing space usage and enhancing visibility
- Vietnamese language support added to operator clients, furthering Milestone’s commitment to serving diverse markets
- Additionally, Milestone has overhauled its XProtect 360 Split View plugin, improving video loading speed, reducing memory consumption, and enhancing overall stability for users working with 360-degree cameras.
