About Milestone Systems

The Concept behind IP Video Surveillance

Reduce Cost and Workload

All Milestone software products for controlling video surveillance are based on the TCP/IP network protocol, which enables you to build your own video surveillance system using standard video and computer hardware. This reduces maintenance costs, lessens the amount of work for you, and protects your business environment. Milestone software supplies the basis for highly efficient operations of video monitoring and analysis, and opens up a wide spectrum of opportunities for integrating with other business applications in any IT environment.

Get Better Pictures Faster

On old VCR systems (analogue), surveillance staff had to change tapes frequently. Over time the VCR heads got dirty and distorted the images. Digital search and retrieval functions are much faster with just a click of the mouse. The images are clearer, too, making it easier to review the recordings. You can still benefit from the advantages of Milestone XProtect™ solutions if you have a traditional analogue video surveillance system - our digital IP products also operate with most analogue video setups.

  • Capture live video from IP cameras and IP video encoders
  • Perform basic video processing
  • Record video to database
  • Facilitate remote access for live view with camera control and playback
  • Search video and export evidence material
  • Integrate with 3rd party systems
