Introducing the XProtect Activity Collector
A small, read-only tool that measures how your cameras actually behave: how often they detect motion, and when. It's the first step in an initiative to improve server sizing and analytics across XProtect, using real activity data instead of lab assumptions.
What is it 

A small, read-only tool you run yourself

The Activity Collector is a single file you run on a Windows machine with network access to your XProtect Management Server. It connects read-only, reads motion activity and camera configuration over a chosen time window, and writes everything to a local dashboard and CSV files next to itself. You decide if and when to share the results; nothing leaves your machine automatically.
One file, no install
A single .exe. No Python, .NET, or SDK to set up separately — everything needed is bundled inside.
Read-only, always
It cannot change any setting, rule, or recording behavior on your VMS.
Runs entirely on your side
Everything it produces is written locally, for you to review, before you decide whether to share it.
Why we built it

Better hardware recommendations start with real data

Today, server sizing and capacity-planning tools rely on assumptions about how cameras behave. Real motion patterns vary enormously by site, vertical, and camera count, and the only way to make our recommendations accurate is to measure that variation directly, with the permission of the customers running those systems.
Real-world usage patterns
Understand how motion events, peak loads, and event durations vary across sites so our analytics and recording platform work well for everyone, not just a lab environment.
Accurate server sizing
Our hardware-recommendation and capacity-calculator tools are tuned using this data, so their estimates reflect what actually happens on deployed systems.
Smarter defaults & optimizations
Patterns we learn from real activity data help us build better default settings, more efficient recording behavior, and more realistic capacity planning across XProtect.
A camera health check, for you
As a byproduct, the tool builds a local health report of your own cameras. Several customers have used it to spot cameras that had stopped recording.
How it works
Five steps, entirely under your control
1. You run a single tool, locally One file, no installation. It runs on a Windows machine with network access to your XProtect server.

2. You choose the server and duration Enter your Management Server URL, pick an authentication method, and set how far back to look (default: 7 days).

3. It reads motion history, nothing else The tool connects read-only to your XProtect system and retrieves motion events and camera configuration only.

4. Everything is saved locally, for you to inspect first CSV files and a local dashboard are written next to the tool. Open them, review them; nothing leaves your machine automatically.

5. You decide what to share, and when Only after you're satisfied, you send the output folder to us. We never pull data from your system directly.
What you get back

A dashboard that shows you exactly what to look at

Before anything is shared with us, the tool builds a local, interactive dashboard from your own data. It's not just a raw export; it highlights which cameras and time periods are actually worth a closer look, so you know precisely what you're reviewing (and sharing) instead of scrolling through raw CSV rows.
Overview at a glance
Total cameras, how many are actively detecting motion, and how many look silent: the big picture before you dig in.
What to check first
A prioritized list of cameras that may need attention, in plain language, so you know exactly which data points matter.
Grouped by issue
Not recording, unusually high activity, or unusually long events, grouped so you can focus on one issue type at a time.
Everything else, confirmed healthy
The remaining cameras are confirmed working normally, so you're not left guessing what wasn't flagged.

 

Frequently asked questions

Does this affect my recordings or VMS performance?

No. The tool only reads historical motion event data. It does not change any settings, does not access live video, and has minimal impact on system resources.
 

Does the tool send data to the internet on its own?

No. All output is written to your local machine. The tool only talks to your own XProtect server, on your own network. You decide how and when to share the output with us.

Does it collect video, images, or audio?

No. It only reads motion event timestamps and camera configuration settings. Video, image, and audio streams are never accessed.

Can I review the data before sending it?

Yes, and we encourage it. The output folder contains CSV files you can open in any spreadsheet tool, plus a local dashboard you can preview in a browser.

Who at Milestone sees this data, and why?

The data is used internally by our engineering and capacity-planning teams to improve server hardware recommendations, calculator accuracy, and analytics defaults.

What XProtect versions are supported?

The tool works with XProtect Corporate, Expert, Professional+, and Express+ (2019 R1 and later), connecting to the Management Server and API Gateway.

Do I have to participate?

Participation is voluntary. If you'd rather not share activity data, that's entirely your choice. Talk to your Milestone contact about alternatives.

Do you offer trial licenses?

Yes, Milestone offers pilot licenses for customers who want to experience XProtect in their own environment before making an investment. Pilot licenses are available for up to four months and are granted on a case-by-case basis, subject to qualification criteria. Once you're connected with a local reseller, they can help assess suitability and guide you through getting a pilot license. 

I'm interested in becoming a technology partner. Can I receive a test license?

Joining our Developer Community is a good first step if you are considering building integrations for XProtect. Once approved, developers can access the resources, tools, and licensing needed to develop and test integrations with Milestone products.
