Best camera video vigilance suite you can get.
Best camera video vigilance suite you can get.
Pros
Very easy to use, not so easy to setup but you can manage if watch some videos hey have for free on their website, you don't need to certify to become very good with this, Remember to choose wisely on what your camera count will be, XProtect Essential is for few cameras, if you plan to grow better go with XProtect Professional.
Cons
The price per camera licence is a little high but still I love this software and still cant find a better one medium learning curve but once you get your bearing right the sky is the limit

We currently use it with 14 cameras. I personally don't like this SW. We got quite poor support through a local reseller, and the biggest cons is very limited options in archiving footage (and purchasing a higher version is too expensive to justify). But it can do its job.
Cons
No proper archive/restore options

We are able to view either live video or review past video from our camera footage. I can take clips of video and turn them into files to share with other people.
Pros
I like how easy it is to select a clip of video and export it. I also really like how easy it is to move through the video by clicking and dragging or by using the arrows.
Cons
we have a lot of cameras and sometimes it lags or takes a while to load. It also won't work if I leave it for a while. I end up having to restart the program rather than being able to sign back in.

Pros
Many useful features, such as Sequence Explorer and Playback. Easy to navigate needed camera. Easy configuration option, allowing you to add new cameras pretty fast.
Cons
The recording device could use more video extensions. .avi takes a lot of recording space and it takes forever to finish it. Also the update and upgrade can be moved to the Auto mode, instead of downloading every time a new version.

Overall I think milestone xprotect is a great product with a great interface and is over all easier to manage and operate then most software like it.
Pros
How easily you can migrate from a different software to milestone is the best part of the software on my experience.

Overall, Xprotect has helped our organization consolidate disparate camera systems and software platforms into one, which greatly simplifies management and IT support.
Pros
The ability to add nearly any IP camera to the software and not being limited to a particular manufacturer. This has allowed us to make it a centralized software solution across departments.
Cons

Very easy to use and the custom creation of user accounts allows us to pass along specirfic permissions and access to end users. Also, the export process and ability to pull footage from multiple cameras is seamless.
Pros
XProtect is excellent for manaing and viewing lots of cameras. It has continued to grow with us as we have increased our camera count.
Cons
Licensing.! We must go through a reseller to add licensing to any new cameras into our system. The process typically takes more than a week. Must plan accordingly.

Overall I love this tool. It makes my job way easier. I can move from one place to another in no time without having to actually be there.
Pros
We currently use this software to control over 20 locations. What impressed me the most is the live videos show very well. When it was first installed on my computer I thought it might be hard to use however overall it is really easy to use despite all its functionalities and everything you can do with this tool.
Cons
What I liked the least about this software is that when I'm onsite it works great and I can backtrack information. For some reason, if I'm anywhere else that is not onsite the audio never picks up. I can see videos clear without any problem except the audio always gives me issues.
