Milestone Systems has unveiled updates to XProtect 2025 R3 and the Arcules platform, enhancing their system management features.
These advancements are designed to expedite investigations, bolster security operations, and simplify the management of systems for security professionals, addressing common industry challenges by improving the intelligence and accessibility of surveillance systems.
XProtect introduces Enhanced Monitoring Features
Enhanced monitoring now allows for the detection and resolution of critical system issues remotely
XProtect's latest version, VMS, incorporates Remote Manager, which offers comprehensive monitoring and management capabilities. These features enable security teams to ensure system health and preemptively address issues before they disrupt operations, effectively removing the need for frequent site visits.
Enhanced monitoring now allows for the detection and resolution of critical system issues remotely, such as server health problems and full databases.
Event-based notifications support faster response times by informing teams of status changes through tailored email alerts. This feature is applicable across various components including cameras, servers, hosts, sites, and additional devices, allowing security teams to act swiftly.
Reducing Unauthorized Access Risks
XProtect has improved its video permissions control to grant users precise management of video visibility, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Furthermore, the new Role-based Access Control Permissions enable administrators to limit visibility and operations of access control systems directly within XProtect. The integration reduces the need for multiple logins by providing a singular interface for managing various security solutions.
Arcules Platform Enhancements
Multi-Camera Forensic Video Search feature allows security teams to analyze recordings across multiple cameras
The Arcules cloud platform has received significant updates aimed to speed up investigations, heighten detection accuracy, and offer greater flexibility in deployment for cloud-based surveillance tasks.
The Multi-Camera Forensic Video Search feature allows security teams to analyze recordings across multiple cameras on a single interface, making it easier to track movements and reconstruct events, particularly useful in environments like campuses or during emergencies.
The Dual-Layer Motion Detection feature combines Arcules' video analytics with on-camera algorithms to ensure important motion events are captured effectively. This feature supports ONVIF M and T cameras in both cloud and edge gateway settings, maximizing event capture capability.
Cloud Compatibility and Evidence Sharing
The Extended Camera-to-Cloud Compatibility feature increases support for devices with limited internal storage, allowing organizations to use cost-effective cameras while maintaining comprehensive cloud functionalities.
Moreover, the introduction of External Case Sharing facilitates secure, temporary sharing of video evidence with law enforcement and legal teams via secure links, which expire according to predefined permissions.
Milestone Systems' latest updates to XProtect and Arcules offer smarter search functionalities, improved detection reliability, enhanced system oversight, and secure collaboration tools, helping organizations safeguard their people, assets, and operations more effectively.
Milestone Systems announced the latest updates in XProtect 2025 R3 and the Arcules platform, delivering new capabilities that accelerate investigations, strengthen security operations, and simplify system management.
The latest releases for XProtect VMS and Arcules VSaaS address the real-world challenges facing security professionals by making surveillance systems more intelligent, accessible, and easier to manage while maintaining the open-platform flexibility that has made Milestone a trusted partner worldwide.
XProtect delivers proactive monitoring
XProtect Remote Manager introduces new comprehensive monitoring and management capabilities that enable security teams to maintain system health and respond to issues before they impact operations, eliminating time-consuming site visits.
Remote management, along with improved monitoring of recording servers, allows administrators to detect and resolve critical issues, such as full databases or server health problems, without local access.
Event-based notifications keep teams informed through customized email alerts when cameras, servers, or other components experience status changes, supporting faster response times across cameras, recording servers, hosts, sites, services, devices, and camera components.
Risk of unauthorized access risks
Video permissions control provides granular management of video feed visibility, allowing site owners to define precisely who can view specific cameras to minimize the risk of unauthorized access risks.
Another key feature is the new Role-based Access Control Permissions for access control systems, which allows administrators to restrict the visibility and operation of access control units based on user roles directly within XProtect.
By eliminating separate logins for third-party access control systems, this integration creates a unified interface for managing integrated security solutions.
Arcules platform delivers faster studies and enhanced reliability
The Arcules cloud platform receives substantial new enhancements that accelerate investigations, improve detection accuracy, and increase deployment flexibility for cloud-based surveillance operations.
New Multi-Camera Forensic Video Search enables security professionals to analyze footage across multiple cameras simultaneously in a unified interface. Teams can quickly trace movements and reconstruct events with complete multi-angle perspectives, proving especially valuable for campus safety, emergency response, and traffic monitoring.
Dual-Layer Motion Detection reduces the risk of missed events by combining Arcules video analytics with on-camera motion detection algorithms. This approach ensures critical motion events are captured, with recordings stored in the cloud or on edge gateways. The feature works with ONVIF M and T cameras across both cloud and edge gateway deployments.
Sharing of video evidence with law enforcement
New Extended Camera-to-Cloud Compatibility expands support to devices with limited internal memory, making cloud video surveillance accessible to even more deployments. Organizations can deploy cost-effective cameras while maintaining full cloud capabilities and deployment flexibility.
External Case Sharing enables secure, time-limited sharing of video evidence with law enforcement, legal teams, and third-party investigators.
External recipients can access shared Cases through secure links without an Arcules account, with access automatically expiring based on set permissions.
Keeping Organizations, People, and Assets Safe
These updates across XProtect and Arcules deliver smarter search tools, more reliable detection, enhanced system monitoring, and secure collaboration features that help organizations protect people, assets, and operations more effectively.
