Milestone Systems has introduced a new suite of AI and analytics solutions designed specifically for security operations, addressing the need for accuracy, compliance, and trust in high-stakes environments.
The announcement, showcased at ISC West 2026, includes innovations such as AI Search, XProtect Video Summarization, and Video Anonymization.
Addressing The Challenges Of AI In Security
While generative AI is transforming many industries, security teams still rely heavily on manual processes for:
- Reviewing video footage
- Documenting incidents
- Ensuring privacy compliance
At the same time, evolving regulations like EU AI Act and GDPR are increasing the complexity of managing video data.
Milestone’s approach focuses on delivering AI solutions that are accurate, consistent, and compliant—ensuring operators can trust AI in mission-critical situations.
AI Built For Security Workflows
Milestone’s new solutions are designed to reduce manual effort and improve operational efficiency across the security lifecycle.
AI Search
AI Search allows operators to use natural language to locate relevant video clips instantly.
For example, an operator can describe a vehicle or incident, and the system retrieves matching footage across multiple cameras in seconds—eliminating the need for manual review.
XProtect Video Summarization
With XProtect Video Summarization, operators can automatically generate structured descriptions of video footage.
This enables:
- Faster incident reporting
- Standardized documentation
- Reduced workload for security teams
The tool integrates with Milestone’s rules engine, allowing summaries to be generated automatically based on alerts or schedules.
Video Anonymization
Video Anonymization ensures compliance with privacy regulations by automatically redacting faces and license plates.
Powered by brighter AI, this feature allows organizations to securely share video evidence without exposing personal data.
Built On A Compliant And Responsible Data Foundation
A key differentiator in Milestone’s AI strategy is its focus on responsible data usage.
The company has developed one of the world’s largest compliant video data libraries through:
- Fair-exchange agreements with customers
- Full anonymization of training data
- Traceable datasets aligned with regulatory standards
This data is used to fine-tune AI models, including those built on NVIDIA platforms, delivering higher accuracy and consistency for security-specific use cases.
Andrew Burnett, Chief Technology Officer at Milestone Systems, said:
“How can we build on our decades of experience in video management to prepare our customers for the next generation of artificial intelligence? The answer is trust. Trust that the data is compliant, trust that the AI is accurate, and trust that these tools will genuinely make operators’ jobs easier. That’s what we’re delivering today.”
Bringing AI Across VMS, VSaaS, And Analytics
Milestone is integrating its AI capabilities across its broader ecosystem, including:
- XProtect
- BriefCam
- Arcules
Notably, AI Search will also be available on-premises through BriefCam, supporting air-gapped environments where internet access is restricted.
Advancing Responsible Vision AI
Milestone continues to push forward responsible AI development through initiatives like Project Hafnia, which focuses on building a regulatory-compliant video data ecosystem.
By combining compliant data, specialized AI models, and integrated platforms, Milestone is enabling organizations to:
- Learn from past events
- Understand current operations
- Predict future risks
Milestone Systems is a global leader in data-driven video technology. Its solutions, including XProtect, BriefCam, and Arcules, help organizations improve security, optimize operations, and gain actionable insights from video data.
