Milestone in Your Building?
We Can Help.

Milestone XProtect service, upgrades, camera adds and takeovers across Utah — for the VMS that got installed once and inspected never.

The Open Platform

XProtect Grows With the Building.

Milestone’s bet, since 1998, is openness: one video platform that runs almost any camera and talks to a huge ecosystem of add-ons. You buy an edition that fits today and upgrade the license — not the system — when you outgrow it:

XProtect Express+ / Professional+The small-to-mid tiers: single site up through unrestricted cameras and multiple recording servers, with the same Smart Client interface throughout.
XProtect Expert / CorporateThe heavyweight tiers: end-to-end video integrity, failover recording and multi-site federation for operations that cannot lose a minute.
Open Device EcosystemThousands of supported cameras and IoT devices, plus 1,000+ third-party integrations — your hardware choices never lock you in.
Smart Client & Smart MapAn operator interface people actually learn, with maps that put every camera and alarm where it physically lives.
Husky NVRsMilestone’s own recording appliances when you’d rather buy the platform pre-built than spec a server.
Evidence & Add-onsEvidence Lock for footage that must survive retention, plus access control and plate-reading integrations when the site grows teeth.
Since 1998One of the oldest and most widely deployed open VMS platforms in the world.
Any cameraThe widest device support in the industry — existing fleets almost always come across.
License ladderUpgrading editions is paperwork, not a forklift — the install ages gracefully.

Service & Support

The VMS That Deserves
a Pulse Check.

XProtect is a workhorse — right up until the server fills, the licenses lapse, or the one person who knew the password retires. We keep Milestone systems recording:

  • Server health — storage, failover and database care before the recording gap happens
  • Version upgrades — XProtect kept current instead of frozen in the year it was installed
  • Camera adds and licensing — growth handled, channels right-sized
  • Health monitoring — we get the alert when a camera drops, not your insurance adjuster

Takeovers

Your Integrator Left.
The System Stayed.

Milestone systems outlive their installers constantly — the software keeps running while the relationship dies. A takeover restores the pulse:

  • Audit first — cameras, licenses, server health and what’s actually recoverable
  • Credentials and configs recovered — or rebuilt cleanly where the originals left with the last company
  • Documentation you own — so nobody can orphan you twice
  • Local response — a Utah crew that answers, instead of a national queue

An honest word at renewal: A server-based VMS carries server-based costs — hardware refreshes, licensing, upkeep. Before the next renewal, let us price it both ways — against Verkada and UniFi. If what you own is still the right answer, we’ll say so and keep servicing it.

Where Milestone Fits in Utah

XProtect is our answer for mixed camera fleets — the warehouse with three generations of hardware on the walls — and for operations that hate lock-in: you can change camera brands, server hardware, even integrators, and the platform survives every one of those changes. It pairs especially well with Axis glass.

If you’d rather never own a server, a cloud platform like Verkada fits better; if you want video and badges unified at enterprise scale, look at Genetec. We install all three and will put honest numbers on each.

Common Questions

Milestone, Answered Straight.

Our XProtect system has no integrator anymore. Now what?

Bring it to us — orphaned XProtect sites are one of our most common takeovers. We audit the management server, licensing (SLC), device channels and storage health, re-establish admin control, and document the system so it stays yours.

Will our existing cameras work with XProtect?

Almost certainly — Milestone’s device support is the broadest in the industry, which is exactly why we reach for it on mixed fleets. We verify every model during the audit; genuine orphans are rare and usually ancient.

Which XProtect edition do we need?

Most Utah businesses land on Express+ or Professional+; Expert and Corporate earn their cost when failover and multi-site federation stop being nice-to-haves. The honest answer comes from camera count, retention and how much a lost minute of video costs you — we’ll size it at the walkthrough.

What does Milestone cost to keep running?

A perpetual license per camera channel plus optional Care maintenance that keeps versions current. No per-camera cloud subscription — which over five years is precisely why the spreadsheet often picks Milestone.
