Improve safety with advanced weapons detection
XProtect VMS is compatible with third-party gun detection technologies. This combination can improve overall school safety while supplying high-quality video footage for forensic purposes, supporting first responders and investigators.
Quickly locate missing students
Combining XProtect and BriefCam Review enables investigators to quickly find a person of interest and locate their last whereabouts, caught on camera.
Secure drop-off and pick-off areas
Monitor busy interactions, verify who picked up which child, and control vehicle access with license plate recognition — keeping students safer during the most chaotic times of the school day.
Review footage faster
Combining XProtect and BriefCam Review, investigators can use the VIDEO SYNOPSIS® technology to review hours of footage in minutes, significantly reducing man-hours and investigation time. By resolving conflicts quickly, you ensure a safe campus.
Detect vaping and substance abuse
Sensors integrated with XProtect and Arcules discreetly monitor and address vaping and substance abuse in schools, maintaining health standards while respecting student privacy.
Broadcast urgent announcements
Broadcast live or pre-recorded emergency messages directly to every classroom via network speakers or in-built camera speakers — turning your video system into an efficient communication tool during critical situations.
Keep unwanted visitors out
XProtect and Arcules integrated with third-party access control technologies provide real-time monitoring and controlled access for authorized people only.
Move to the cloud on your terms
Schools struggle with limited on-premises storage, bandwidth constraints and complex systems. Cloud solutions can help, whether that’s user-friendly Arcules for smaller schools, or a flexible hybrid of XProtect VMS and Arcules VSaaS.
Plan smarter events with data
XProtect combines with BriefCam analytics to send real-time alerts when crowds grow too large or parking areas fill up. Your security team can respond instantly, keeping events running smoothly while focusing resources exactly where they're needed.
Monitor building occupancy
XProtect integrates with BriefCam to track real-time facility occupancy, automatically alert when limits are exceeded, and analyze trends to improve future event planning.

Maintaining a secure school environment demands failsafe access control to protect students, staff, and the premises.
XProtect Access offers a comprehensive solution for securing school campuses by integrating video management and access control. This allows schools to assign different access levels to staff, students, and visitors, ensuring restricted areas remain off-limits.
Schools can monitor access points in real-time and take immediate action if unauthorized attempts are detected, maintaining a safe environment.

Insights for safer, smarter schools
Typically, manual forensic review of archived video footage is time-consuming – the more footage there is, the longer it takes. BriefCam advanced video analytics enables fast, filtered searches across multiple cameras. Swift review of post-incident footage can be used to validate claims, reduce litigation risk and better understand incidents.
It also provides clear visibility into building occupancy patterns and student flows, helping administrators make informed decisions that enhance the school experience. Plus, the intuitive interface means any staff member can make use of it — it’s not just for security personnel.

Reduce the nuisance of vaping
Incidents of vaping, smoking, and substance abuse in primary and secondary schools are on the rise. Vape and smoke detection sensors, integrated with Milestone’s XProtect and further enhanced by the cloud-based capabilities of Arcules, can help.
These devices detect vaping, smoking, and air quality changes without capturing personal information.
This makes sensors ideal for installation in restrooms, traditionally a blind spot in video monitoring due to privacy restrictions. When the sensor detects vaping or changes in air quality, it immediately sends alerts to the school staff for intervention.
