Milestone Systems Enhances Security Operations with New Releases

Milestone Systems, a renowned leader in open platform video management software, has rolled out exciting enhancements to its offerings with the launch of XProtect 2026 R1 and updates to the Arcules VSaaS platform. These updates are designed to boost security operations, simplify system management, and offer greater cloud flexibility across diverse deployment environments.

According to Andy Burnett, Chief Technology Officer at Milestone Systems, the new releases reflect the company's commitment to advancing their core platform. The updates focus on delivering improved operational intelligence and accelerating cloud capabilities, providing customers with more flexible and scalable options for managing video security. Burnett emphasizes that these advancements add real value to various stakeholders within the ecosystem, from field operators to partners and decision-makers.

Key Features of XProtect 2026 R1

One of the standout features is the XProtect Remote Manager, a browser-based system management tool available exclusively to Milestone Care Plus customers. This upgraded version introduces customizable reporting options that automatically transform technical data—such as health metrics and performance indicators—into visually structured reports suited for different audiences. This alleviates the burden on system administrators who previously had to manually compile and interpret data, allowing a shift from reactive reporting to proactive insights.

The reporting capabilities offer numerous benefits:

• - System administrators can reduce their manual workload and enhance scalability, particularly in multi-site setups.
• - Decision-makers receive straightforward, non-technical summaries of system performance and compliance.
• - Resellers and service providers can effectively demonstrate the value of managed services.
• - End-customers access reliable and consistent reporting, bolstering confidence in their security investments.

This enhanced reporting capability is exclusively available for XProtect installations under Milestone Care Plus.

Moreover, XProtect 2026 R1 introduces comprehensive improvements across system administration, mobile usability, and device support:

• - LogServer Redesign: A new, user-friendly interface offers centralized log visibility and enhanced notification systems, streamlining troubleshooting processes for complex deployments.
• - Mobile Client Archive: Operators can now access a history of previously released features, eliminating dependence on one-time notifications.
• - Device Pack 14.1: This expansion increases verified compatibility to over 16,300 devices, adding 181 new devices from 15 technology partners since the previous release.

Arcules Expands Camera-to-Cloud Capabilities

On the cloud side, Milestone is enhancing its offerings with the latest updates to the Arcules VSaaS platform. The Spring 2026 updates introduce significant improvements in camera-to-cloud support and long-term video storage options. Now, customers can manage multiple sensor views from Axis multi-sensor cameras entirely in the cloud, minimizing the need for on-premises hardware. Support has also been extended to select i-PRO cameras, enabling even more devices to connect seamlessly to Arcules.

In terms of storage, Arcules now offers long-term cloud video storage solutions. This innovation allows organizations to archive video data safely in the cloud for extended periods, ensuring accessibility for compliance and operational requirements while negating the need for physical storage management.

Additional enhancements include:

• - A WebSocket-based PTZ API for ONVIF-connected cameras, facilitating rapid real-time control within automated workflows.
• - Mobile alert thumbnails for iOS, which provide immediate visual context alongside push notifications.

The recent updates to both XProtect and Arcules underscore Milestone Systems' dedication to advancing the capabilities that security professionals rely on, irrespective of their operational settings—be it on-premises, in the cloud, or across hybrid environments.
