Edge Storage in comparison to Milestone Interconnect

Milestone Interconnect is a unique system concept that allows all paid versions of Milestone XProtect VMS and Husky products to be interconnected with Milestone’s premium software, XProtect Corporate. This allows design of large-scale and geographically dispersed video surveillance systems where you for each independent site can chose the XProtect VMS product that best fits the required functionality and budget, while still providing the benefits of a centralized surveillance system.

Milestone Interconnect share the underlying implementation with Edge Storage and can in many ways be seen as a more advanced Edge Storage solution where whole XProtect VMS installations are connected to the central XProtect VMS system as a kind of multichannel video encoder with advanced Edge Storage support.

The user experience in the XProtect Smart Client when using Milestone Interconnect is comparable to Edge Storage as it offers the same basic recording retrieval functionality for both Edge Storage and Milestone Interconnect. However, in addition to the basic recording retrieval functionality, Milestone Interconnect also offers more advanced functions like direct playback of the recordings on the remote XProtect VMS installations and support for system events from the interconnected sites.
