Milestone Systems launches Xprotect Evidence Manager

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Milestone Systems has launched XProtect Evidence Manager, a digital evidence management system.

The new extension to the XProtect video management software (VMS) promises a more efficient workflow, easier sharing capabilities, and storage flexibility. The extension provides an open, scalable solution that enhances evidence workflows and lowers the total cost of ownership.

“XProtect Evidence Manager advances our commitment to the open-platform philosophy that defines Milestone,” said Tim Palmquist, Vice President, Americas, Milestone Systems. “By extending this approach to evidence management, we're giving organizations the freedom to choose how they implement, share, and store digital evidence, on their terms.”

The extension enhances digital evidence management through three key innovations: workflow efficiency, license-free sharing, and storage freedom

By adopting this open-platform approach to evidence management, organizations may see a significant cost reduction compared to proprietary alternatives, with potential savings coming from both initial purchase costs and long-term efficiencies gained through storage flexibility, license-free sharing, and reduced dependency on single-vendor ecosystems.

The extension fully integrates with XProtect VMS, along with analytics platforms like Milestone’s BriefCam, which enables users to review hours of video evidence in minutes.

"By challenging entrenched market dynamics and introducing genuine freedom of choice, we're disrupting how the industry approaches digital evidence," said Tim Palmquist. "This transformation represents a shift toward greater openness and user control. By emphasizing freedom and choice, we're helping redefine how organizations think about managing digital evidence over its entire lifecycle."

XProtect Evidence Manager will initially launch in the United States, with international availability planned for 2026.
