COPENHAGEN—Milestone Systems, a provider of open platform video management software (VMS), has announced the launch of its R2 update for 2024 to its XProtect platform.

The new R2 update also introduces what Milestone Systems says are improvements to the user experience, along with expanded language support.
According to the company, as organizations increasingly seek flexible, efficient ways to manage their video security systems, it is expanding the value of its Care Plus subscription. Milestone Systems asserts one of the methods it is employing to increase that value is through the introduction of XProtect Remote Manager, a cloud-connected service that allows XProtect administrators to monitor the health and status of distributed XProtect installations in one view from anywhere through a browser.
With the R2 update and XProtect Remote Manager, administrators can utilize these new system features:
- View real-time health status of devices and servers across multiple sites
- Manage basic camera settings remotely
- Grant or revoke reseller access to customer sites
