Milestone Systems has announced major updates to XProtect 2025 R3 and the Arcules platform, introducing new capabilities that accelerate investigations, strengthen operational intelligence, and simplify system management for security teams worldwide.
The latest releases for XProtect VMS and Arcules VSaaS address real-world security challenges by making surveillance systems more intelligent, accessible, and easier to manage while maintaining Milestone’s hallmark open-platform flexibility.
XProtect Strengthens Proactive Monitoring
XProtect Remote Manager introduces enhanced monitoring and management tools that help security teams maintain system health and resolve issues before they impact operations, minimizing costly site visits.
Administrators can remotely detect and correct server or database issues, while event-based notifications provide customized alerts for changes across cameras, servers, and devices.
New video permission controls now allow granular management of video feed visibility, ensuring only authorized personnel can access specific cameras.
Additionally, role-based access control permissions integrate directly with access control systems, allowing user-based visibility and operation restrictions — all within the XProtect interface. This eliminates the need for multiple logins and simplifies unified security management.
Arcules Platform Speeds Investigations and Boosts Reliability
The Arcules cloud platform gains several new features that streamline investigations, increase detection accuracy, and enhance cloud deployment flexibility.
The Multi-Camera Forensic Video Search tool enables simultaneous analysis across multiple cameras within one interface — helping teams reconstruct incidents with multi-angle visibility for faster response in complex environments like campuses and transportation hubs.
Dual-Layer Motion Detection combines Arcules analytics with on-camera motion detection, ensuring critical motion events are always captured and securely stored in the cloud or on edge gateways.
With Extended Camera-to-Cloud Compatibility, even cost-effective cameras with limited internal memory can now benefit from cloud surveillance.
Finally, External Case Sharing allows organizations to securely and temporarily share video evidence with law enforcement or investigators via encrypted, time-limited links — without requiring recipients to have an Arcules account.
Smarter, Safer Security for Organizations
Together, these XProtect and Arcules updates deliver improved monitoring, faster video search, enhanced collaboration, and stronger reliability. The enhancements empower organizations to protect people, property, and operations more effectively than ever before.
