Milestone Systems has announced the latest updates in XProtect 2025 R3 and the Arcules platform, delivering new capabilities that accelerate investigations, strengthen security operations and simplify system management.
The latest releases for XProtect VMS and Arcules VSaaS are said to address the real-world challenges facing security professionals by making surveillance systems more intelligent, accessible and easier to manage while maintaining the open-platform flexibility that has made Milestone a trusted partner worldwide.
XProtect Remote Manager reportedly introduces new comprehensive monitoring and management capabilities to enable security teams to maintain system health and respond to issues before they impact operations, eliminating time-consuming site visits.
Remote management, along with improved monitoring of recording servers, is said to allow administrators to detect and resolve critical issues, such as full databases or server health problems, without local access.
Event-based notifications reportedly keep teams informed through customised email alerts when cameras, servers or other components experience status changes, supporting faster response times across cameras, recording servers, hosts, sites, services, devices and camera components.
Video permissions control is said to provide granular management of video feed visibility, allowing site owners to define precisely who can view specific cameras to minimise the risk of unauthorised access risks.
The company has reported that another key feature is the new Role-based Access Control Permissions for access control systems, which allows administrators to restrict the visibility and operation of access control units based on user roles directly within XProtect.
By eliminating separate logins for third-party access control systems, this integration is said to create a unified interface for managing integrated security solutions.
The Arcules cloud platform has reportedly received substantial new enhancements that accelerate investigations, improve detection accuracy and increase deployment flexibility for cloud-based surveillance operations.
The new Multi-Camera Forensic Video Search is said to enable security professionals to analyse footage across multiple cameras simultaneously in a unified interface.
Milestone Systems has stated that teams can quickly trace movements and reconstruct events with complete multi-angle perspectives, proving especially valuable for campus safety, emergency response and traffic monitoring.
Dual-Layer Motion Detection is said to reduce the risk of missed events by combining Arcules video analytics with on-camera motion detection algorithms.
This approach reportedly ensures critical motion events are captured, with recordings stored in the cloud or on edge gateways.
The feature works with ONVIF M and T cameras across both cloud and edge gateway deployments.
Milestone Systems has reported that the new Extended Camera-to-Cloud Compatibility expands support to devices with limited internal memory, making cloud video surveillance accessible to even more deployments.
Organisations can deploy cost-effective cameras while maintaining full cloud capabilities and deployment flexibility.
External Case Sharing is said to enable secure, time-limited sharing of video evidence with law enforcement, legal teams and third-party investigators.
External recipients can reportedly access shared Cases through secure links without an Arcules account, with access automatically expiring based on set permissions.
