Milestone Systems has rolled out significant new updates to its Arcules cloud platform and XProtect 2025 R3, strengthening its position as a global leader in open-platform video technology. The upgrades deliver new capabilities in cloud integration, forensic search, and collaborative case management redefining how organisations investigate and respond to incidents.
Multi-Camera Search Speeds Up Investigations
The new Multi-Camera Forensic Video Search in the Arcules platform enables investigators to analyse footage across multiple cameras simultaneously within a unified interface. The result: security teams can quickly trace movements, reconstruct incidents, and gain a complete multi-angle view of events.
This feature is particularly valuable for high-density environments such as universities, hospitals, airports, and city surveillance networks, where events often span multiple cameras and locations.
Smarter Motion Detection and Expanded Cloud Access
Arcules now combines Dual-Layer Motion Detection, integrating its cloud-based analytics with on-camera motion algorithms to ensure no critical activity goes unnoticed. This hybrid detection approach significantly reduces false negatives while maintaining flexibility across both cloud and edge environments.
Further extending its versatility, Extended Camera-to-Cloud Compatibility enables support for cost-effective devices with limited internal memory. This means organisations can deploy simpler cameras while maintaining full access to the cloud’s scalability, storage, and AI-powered insights.
Seamless Collaboration and Evidence Sharing
Investigations are also getting faster and more secure through External Case Sharing a new capability that allows video evidence to be shared with law enforcement, legal teams, or third-party investigators through secure, time-limited links. Recipients don’t need an Arcules account, and access expires automatically, reducing data handling risks.
Cloud Intelligence for Real-World Protection
The combined XProtect and Arcules updates represent Milestone’s most comprehensive step yet toward unifying cloud video management and analytics under one intelligent framework.
By fusing deep observability, cloud flexibility, and advanced AI features, the company is helping organisations safeguard people, assets, and infrastructure more effectively.
