Milestone Systems, the globally leading open platform company in networked video management software (VMS), has released XProtect 2017 R2. Milestone meets the increasing demand for connected business and video systems by releasing three new products: XProtect Essential+, XProtect Express+, and XProtect Professional+. These new products cover installations from a few to thousands of cameras. All the products fully support hardware acceleration, where system performance can be boosted just by adding a supported graphics card that can handle the heavy lifting in decoding video, leaving room for the system to handle other tasks.
