Milestone launching generative AI plug-in for XProtect

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Milestone Systems has revealed a forthcoming generative AI-powered video analytics plug-in for its XProtect video management software, developed in collaboration with NVIDIA.

Designed to help operators contextualize alarms and focus on what truly matters, the new tool automates video review, filters out false alarms, and based on initial findings could reduce up to 30% of operator alarm fatigue.

A beta version will debut at Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona, November 4-6, with general availability coming later this year.

Key capabilities include:

• Automated Incident Reports
• Event Validation
• Contextual Bookmark Summaries

The plug-in integrates directly with the XProtect rule engine and is deployable on-premises or in the cloud to support compliance and deployment flexibility. This new solution is built on Milestone’s Hafnia Vision Language Model (VLM) trained on 75,000 hours of ethically sourced, real-world video data from either Europe or the US, using NVIDIA Cosmos Curator for data preparation and running either on cloud infrastructure or regional data centers powered by NVIDIA.

“With this new XProtect plug-in, we are making advanced video intelligence accessible to cities, organizations, and operators everywhere who manage traffic systems – helping them unlock new levels of efficiency, safety, and insight,” said Thomas Jensen, CEO of Milestone Systems. “XProtect users will get access to state-of-the-art generative AI capabilities, and our partners will be able to build value on top of those new capabilities now available within XProtect. It truly marks a pivotal step in our mission to transform how the world manages and learns from visual data, responsibly and at scale.”
