Milestone XProtect Mobile Server Crashes

Milestone XProtect Mobile server crashing can be resolved by not limiting playback streams and un-checking levels 1, 2, and 3. This feature should only be enabled if you have a lot of clients logging in bogging down the bandwidth otherwise it should be left at default. Here is the link to ONVIF device manager, and the link to the manual. This is useful for batch configurations.   Billy Wang Technical Sales                                       Phone:         310.370.9500 x102 Direct:          310.876.1537 Fax:               310.876.1537 Skype:           live:billy_3055 Email:            [email protected] Web:             www.CustomVideoSecurity.com

Milestone XProtect Errors, Descriptions, and Resolutions

Free Micro Health Checks in 2022-2023 For Milestone XProtect users who are currently running legacy software and/or hardware, Milestone is currently offering a FREE multi-point diagnostic “Micro Health Check” to help identify Milestone XProtect errors. This no-cost 1-hour service is conducted by an actual Milestone technician employed by Milestone Systems. He/she will check for ten different critical scenarios that could impact system reliability or the user experience: XProtect software version. Milestone Care status. XProtect hotfixes and patches. Video deletions due to low disk space. Video deletions due to media overflow. Antivirus presence. System CPU utilization. System RAM utilization. Failover configuration. Hardware acceleration configuration. This Micro Health Check will identify the required components to keep your Milestone XProtect camera system current. In case your server is more than five years old, we can also design a new server to run the updated software. The advantages to upgrading your software and hardware, outside of bug fixes, are the usage of H.265 compression on compatible cameras. This will save both hard drive storage space and network bandwidth. Additional benefits of keeping the XProtect software current are the updated XProtect rules system and the ability to take advantage of a newly integrated module called Rapid […]

Add an Onvif IP Camera to an Onvif Recorder

By Raymond Shadman Direct/SMS/Fax:  310.876.1540 Phone:           877.DEALS.79 or 310-370-9500 x1 Email:            [email protected] Web:            customvideosecurity.com Skype:           rshadman In this post, we list best practices for ensuring compatibility between IP recorders and IP cameras. Unlike analog recorders, NVRs or hybrid/tribrid/multi-format DVRs (also known as XVRs) require compatible makes and models of IP cameras.For example, if using a Dahua NVR, it’s a best practice to use Dahua IP Cameras in order to guarantee compatibility between recorders and cameras. If mixing brands, or if not using a stated make and model of listed IP camera, it’s very possible that the camera’s video stream won’t display on the NVR. In some cases, the camera’s video stream might be displayed, but other features may not work. The same holds true for VMSes (Video Management Systems) such as Milestone XProtect, which are essentially software-based IP management systems that are designed to accommodate numerous brands of IP Cameras, with certain limitations. If not using the same brand of NVR or IP camera, the best practice is to match each device’s corresponding Onvif profile. Onvif is a standard in the IP/Security world, which allows interoperability between IP security devices, even if they are […]

ISONAS Access Control Integration FAQs into Milestone XProtect

By Raymond Shadman Direct/SMS/Fax: 310-370-9500 x1 Phone:           877.DEALS.79 or 310.370.9500 x101 Email:          [email protected] Web:          customvideosecurity.com Skype:           rshadman   Here are my questions to ISONAS regarding replacing a hospital’s S2 control panels with ISONAS IPBridge units so that they can use their existing S2 readers at each of their existing access controlled doors and have integration into Milestone XProtect. The hospital’s intent is to add new ISONAS equipment to the new doors, while to use existing equipment where possible, given their fairly recent investment into S2, which was substantial. S2, unfortunately, does not offer any integration into Milestone XProtect.   Q1) Is it the Pure Access Software that integrates with Milestone XProtect? A1) The Milestone Pure Access integration is expected to be complete in June. This is related to their newer RC04 Pure Access products, because their RC03 integration was complete at least 1-2 years ago.   Q2) The Milestone XProtect server will be running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Must we have Server2012 R2 or better for Pure Access, or is it better for Pure Access to run on its own server or workstation? A2) The Manager on-premise version of Pure […]

Drone Operation with Milestone XProtect VMS

You can use the Phantom 3 Advanced with the HDMI output module connected to the TBS 2216 HDMI encoder (better encoders available) with the universal driver in Milestone to record live video. In addition, you can the Inspire 1 with the light bridge wireless with an HDMI out that goes into an HDMI encoder and it is recorded into Milestone XProtect with the universal driver. The two above installations were hardwired into a POE switch directly connected to a recorder. You can also use a wireless bridge connected to a cellular connection. You can also have helicopter and drone connections using a Rocket Router with multiple cellular cards for increased bandwidth.         For more information, you may email me at [email protected].
