Milestone New Device Pack 9.3

Device Pack 9.3 for milestone XProtect video management software (VMS) prepares the Milestone community for using audio to increase safety. In addition, more than 300 cameras have received updated or new support.


Milestone Systems has released Device Pack 9.3 for partners and customers using Milestone XProtect video solutions.

The bi-monthly device packs contain software updates for XProtect video management to support new hardware. This year, Milestone reached an industry-first 6,000 supported devices, with new ones constantly being added to each device pack that comes out.

Extended support for audio as safety tool

In preparation for the soon-to-come XProtect 2017 R3 version, audio support has been enhanced for selected Axis, Hanwha and Sony cameras, in addition to support for AAC (Advanced Audio Codec) in cameras. This audio compression format delivers superior quality compared to the formats traditionally used in VMS.

Using audio as an integrated part of a video surveillance system can be a valuable addition to a system’s ability to deliver operational awareness. Audio can also be used in analytics applications to alert and direct attention to incidents not covered by the system’s cameras.
