DIGITAL Evidence ManageMENT

Manage evidence without the friction

Work with every file type in a secure and consistent way that supports your investigation.

Start by handling files directly in XProtect with the Milestone XProtect^® Evidence Plug-in — then extend to full evidence management with Milestone XProtect^®Evidence Manager. Together, they provide two secure ways to handle digital evidence, and can be used side by side for a complete, flexible evidence workflow.

XProtect Evidence Manager is currently available in the U.S.

Flexible and cost-effective deployment

Deploy on-premises, in the cloud or in hybrid and air-gapped setups — and stay flexible in how you work with evidence.

XProtect Evidence Plug-in

XProtect Evidence Manager

Your direct link between XProtect and your evidence workflow

Secure, simplified evidence delivery

Bring together all evidence — original files, converted formats and related data — in a tamper‑resistant evidence package that preserves the chain of custody from start to finish. Authorized users get fast, straightforward access, while preparation time and human error are reduced. All distributed content opens in a standard Windows application.

Speed up processing and investigations

Process video evidence much faster and speed up investigations. XProtect Evidence Plug-in can increase workflow efficiency by up to 90% by reducing the time it takes to export, transcode and upload single-incident videos from 10 hours to 15 minutes. Adding Milestone’s BriefCam video analytics further accelerates case processing.

Use any file format

Many digital evidence systems handle their own formats well but struggle with video from other VMS vendors, interview rooms or mobile devices. XProtect Evidence Plug‑in rewraps proprietary video formats so they open in standard players and can be archived in the digital evidence management system (DEMS) of your choice. It helps investigators stay organized, work faster and move video smoothly from first review to final case file. You can also use it with XProtect Evidence Manager for an end‑to‑end workflow — all within XProtect.

Automate evidence submission

Submit evidence — like XProtect video footage and proprietary file formats — to any backend Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS) with less manual effort. Automated schedules transfer video footage from XProtect‑connected cameras directly to your chosen DEMS, without human intervention. This ensures the required evidence is captured and delivered on time.

Your central hub for managing digital evidence

Keep shared evidence secure

XProtect Evidence Manager is a digital evidence management system (DEMS) that streamlines the process of sharing digital evidence. Share entire cases or individual files without license costs, while maintaining full control over them. Evidence is shared via a secure URL, with optional password protection to help ensure its integrity. Maintain tamper-proof integrity with SHA-256 hash validation.

Collaborate more efficiently

Manage digital evidence throughout its entire lifecycle — from collection and sharing to storage and eventual purging — all within a unified case management workflow. At any stage, evidence can be easily shared with investigators, administrators, or other stakeholders, improving coordination and communication across teams.

Deploy and enrich without limitations

Deploy on-premises, cloud or as a hybrid. You can also integrate devices, AI and add-ons without proprietary limitations. This freedom of choice makes XProtect Evidence Manager ideal for large single-site tenants, or organizations with multi-tenant infrastructure.

Expand your storage options

XProtect Evidence Manager integrates with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Glacier deep archive to provide scalable and cost-effective long-term storage options. AWS significantly reduces storage costs with a choice of hot, warm, cold and deep archives for long-term retention. Prior to archiving, files and metadata are indexed to let you quick search and preview deep archive data.
