Comprehensive software delivering ultimate usability
XProtect Enterprise was designed not only for multi-server, multi-site video surveillance systems but also with a focus on usability. All daily operations are executed through a single user interface and different options are available to best serve your installation needs and IT management structure.
The XProtect Enterprise Smart Client is an advanced, full-featured access client providing you with all daily functions like simultaneous live view and playback from 100 cameras, intelligent Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ), advanced search functions and instant export of evidence.
The XProtect Enterprise Remote Client offers the ability to perform most daily operations and view live or playback video from up to 16 cameras from the same or multiple recording servers. The feature-rich, browser-based client also has a wide choice in viewing layouts with private and shared views, and does not require any installation.
The PDA client provides optimal freedom and flexibility for guards who are on the move by allowing basic views and playback on a PDA device from the same or multiple servers. Video compression from the server to the PDA optimizes bandwidth usage. You can control PTZ cameras manually or use preset positions, respond to alerts and perform input/output functions such as opening gates.

Other superior features include:
- Multiple language support: Let operators use the system in
- their native language with support for 20 different languages
- Multi-channel, two-way audio: Communicate with people at gates/entrances or broadcast messages to many people at once
- Fast evidence export: Quickly deliver authentic evidence to public authorities by exporting video to various formats, including video from multiple cameras with viewer, logs, and user notes included
- Thorough audit logs: Full awareness of the system and users with comprehensive audit logs
- Configure access privileges: Ensure system consistency and global user management with single sign-on Microsoft® Active Directory credentials and control privileges and allowed camera actions
- Advanced alert handling: Save time and resources by activating recordings by events or video motion detection triggered by the system or cameras. Use email or SMS for notification of alerts
- Intuitive connectivity: Connect existing DVRs with the IP video management system and use them as devices similar to cameras
Future-proof with the Milestone open platform
XProtect Enterprise is full of advanced features and is built as an open platform so you can optimize and future-proof your investment. The well-documented Software Development Kit (SDK) provides easy access to the rich Application Programming Interface (API), enabling integration with best-of-breed solutions and other security systems such as video analytics, access control systems, alarms, Point of Sale (POS), Auto- matic Teller Machines (ATM) and gate barriers.
The versatile API/SDK and IP technology provide endless integration possibilities and there are over 150 documented integrated solutions with other systems and devices available from Milestone Solution Partners. Additionally, OPC Data Access support allows integration to industrial and building management equipment, such as Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), alarm and fire systems.
“Several innovations and state-of-the-art features have been developed in the latest version of XProtect Enterprise to bring customers even better ways to manage video installations. For example, the auto detection of hardware can find 100 devices on the network in less than two minutes.”
