Milestone Systems has rolled out updates for its XProtect 2025 R3 and Arcules platform, targeting enhanced capabilities for quickening investigations, bolstering security measures, and simplifying system management.
The enhancements in XProtect VMS and Arcules VSaaS are designed to tackle real-world hurdles faced by security professionals, transforming surveillance systems to be more intelligent, accessible, and easier to manage while preserving the open-platform adaptability that companies rely on globally.
XProtect enables Proactive Monitoring
The XProtect Remote Manager introduces robust monitoring and management functionalities
The XProtect Remote Manager introduces robust monitoring and management functionalities that allow security teams to keep systems operational and address issues preemptively, thereby reducing the need for onsite visits.
Enhanced monitoring of recordings and servers enables administrators to spot and solve critical issues, such as full databases or server health concerns, all remotely.
Through event-based notifications, teams stay informed via personalized email alerts whenever there are status changes in cameras, servers, and other components, facilitating quicker response times across sites and devices.
Enhanced Video Permissions Control
The system also offers fine-tuned management of video feed visibility, allowing site administrators to precisely define who can access particular cameras, thereby minimizing unauthorized access risks.
Additionally, the introduction of Role-based Access Control Permissions enhances the ability to restrict visibility and operations of access control units by user roles within XProtect.
This integration negates the need for multiple logins into separate third-party access control systems, providing a cohesive interface for managing integrated security solutions.
Accelerated Investigations and Improved Reliability
The Arcules cloud platform undergoes significant upgrades to speed up investigations
The Arcules cloud platform undergoes significant upgrades to speed up investigations, enhance detection accuracy, and provide flexible cloud-based surveillance deployment.
The Multi-Camera Forensic Video Search offers a unified interface for analyzing footage across multiple cameras simultaneously, allowing security teams to trace movements and reconstruct events efficiently, benefiting areas such as campus safety and emergency response.
Dual-Layer Motion Detection fuses Arcules video analytics with on-camera motion algorithms to ensure crucial motion events are captured and recorded in the cloud or on edge gateways, compatible with ONVIF M and T cameras. This feature enhances reliability whether deployed in cloud or gateway environments.
Expanded Camera-to-Cloud Compatibility
An important update is the Extended Camera-to-Cloud Compatibility which opens up cloud video surveillance to devices with limited internal memory. This development allows organizations to use affordable cameras while maintaining cloud deployment flexibility.
Additionally, the updates introduce External Case Sharing for secure, temporary video evidence sharing with law enforcement and investigators, accessible via secure links that expire according to set permissions.
Overall, these developments across XProtect and Arcules equip organizations with advanced search tools, dependable detection, improved system monitoring, and secure collaboration features, intensifying their ability to safeguard people, assets, and operations 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.
Video permissions control
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.
Faster Investigations 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.
Extended Camera-to-Cloud Compatibility
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.
