Milestone XProtect

Milestone Partner

Milestone XProtect Integrator

Evolution is a Milestone Solution Partner, delivering XProtect video management from single sites to estates running many hundreds of cameras.

When Organisations Need a Milestone XProtect Integrator

XProtect is an open platform, which is its great advantage and the source of most of the problems we are asked to fix.

Open means the camera estate can be mixed, the integrations can be extensive, and the system can grow in directions nobody planned. It also means a poorly governed XProtect deployment accumulates orphaned devices, inconsistent retention settings, unmanaged firmware and integrations nobody documented. The calls we get are usually about bringing that back under control, or about scaling a system that was designed for a building and now has to cover a campus.

Milestone XProtect Design, Integration and Migration

XProtect design and deployment from single site to enterprise scale

Recording and storage architecture sized against retention obligation rather than guesswork

Camera specification against operational requirement, aligned to the BS EN 62676 series

Integration with access control platforms including LenelS2 OnGuard and C•CURE 9000

Analytics deployment and performance validation

Migration from legacy VMS and DVR estates without loss of coverage during changeover

Surveillance estate hardening: network segmentation, credential management, firmware lifecycle

Enterprise support, planned maintenance and system health monitoring

Milestone XProtect Expertise Across Leading Camera Manufacturers

Evolution is a Milestone Solution Partner and works alongside Axis Communications as a Solution Gold Partner, Hanwha Vision, Avigilon and other camera manufacturers, which means the camera specification is genuinely open rather than steered.

Unified Video and Access Control with Milestone XProtect

Premier Dublin headquarters, ten storeys

A leading firm’s new Dublin headquarters needed surveillance across all ten floors, integrated with access control, visitor management, lift destination control and car park management as a single platform rather than five.

Evolution deployed Milestone XProtect with Axis network cameras for surveillance coverage across the building, integrated with the Lenel OnGuard access control platform. Sharry Visitor Management with QR code readers handles pre-registered visitors, and HID credential technology secures the estate throughout.

The result the project team valued was operational rather than technical: one platform, one view of the building, and no gaps at the joins between systems.

FAQs About Milestone XProtect

Yes. Takeover is common on this platform. We survey the estate, audit device inventory and retention configuration, and give you a clear picture of what is actually recording and for how long.

XProtect is an open platform supporting a very wide range of manufacturers. We work with Axis, Hanwha Vision, Avigilon and others, and specify against the operational requirement rather than a supplier target.

Yes. We have integrated XProtect with LenelS2 OnGuard and Software House C•CURE 9000 among others, including across multi-region estates.

Yes, and it is normally phased so coverage is never lost during changeover. The planning question is usually which cameras can be retained and which have reached the end of useful service.

That follows from retention, which follows from your documented purpose, which is a data protection question before it is a technical one. We size storage after that is settled, not before.
