XProtect^® Smart Client

Feature-rich interface

XProtect Smart Client is a powerful, easy-to-use client application for the daily operations of security installations.

Designed for Milestone XProtect® IP video management software (VMS) and Milestone Husky™ series, XProtect Smart Client is a powerful, easy-to-use client application for a surveillance installation's daily operations. Its streamlined interface provides intuitive and powerful functions to manage any Milestone installation regardless of its size.

XProtect Smart Client is now supporting Hardware Accelerated Video Decoding, allowing you to view and monitor up to 5 times more high-resolution streams with a lower CPU load using external graphics cards (GPU). XProtect Smart Client provides an efficient working environment that can be optimized for different tasks and operator requirements. Advanced investigation tools including Search, a centralized search platform allowing you to search for motion, bookmarks, events, alarms and ONVIF-compliant metadata all in one place, for rapid investigation, combined with an easy-to-navigate video timeline enable users to examine incidents quickly and accurately. Sophisticated export options, including the Storyboard feature, consolidate relevant video evidence for a complete overview of incidents. XProtect Smart Client is available in 30 languages, allowing users to work with the application in their native language.

Using the Milestone Integration Platform and the unique application plug-in architecture, various types of security and business systems applications can be seamlessly integrated in XProtect Smart Client. Such integrations also include dedicated filtering options driven by metadata capabilities of partner integrations making search criteria such as line-crossing, object-in-field and LPR searchable directly from the Search tab, saving time and increasing efficiency.

Easy to use
Milestone continually strives to make XProtect VMS easy to use, so we offer three flexible ways for users to access surveillance: XProtect Smart Client, XProtect Mobile and XProtect Web Client. Depending on where you are and what features you need, you can choose the mobile device or computer you prefer to use and whether you want to access Milestone surveillance on-site, off-site or on-the-go. And because all of our clients are free of charge, you can use all three or any combination of the clients based on your preferences.

See how audio adds value to your video system
While a picture is worth a thousand words, the spoken word can be worth much more. Regardless of the number of megapixels captured by a surveillance camera, video alone only tells half the story.
Why not tap into the power of XProtect and audio and let the ears complement what the eyes are seeing? Having audio as an integrated part of the system can be extremely beneficial when it comes to identifying, recognizing and reacting to a situation. Watch the video to learn more!
