Why XProtect® Expert+?
XProtect® Expert is an advanced IP-based recording management software (VMS) developed by Milestone. It is a comprehensive solution designed for medium to large installations requiring active live monitoring. It provides complete video integrity protection while maximizing hardware performance. Centralized management, support for storage media and failover recording servers, and support for an optional monitor wall make this software the best choice for distributed installations such as warehouses and stadiums.
This is a highly available system. Administration of all system elements and settings is in one central place. In addition, failover servers acting as backup to primary recording servers can be grouped into highly available groups.
XProtect® Expert has the ability to support an optional integrated and hardware-independent monitor wall for detailed visual awareness .
