This is a significant add-on product for any multi-site environment based on XProtect™ Enterprise installations because it delivers central overview, control and actionability.

The XProtect™ Central solution offers you central scalability of monitoring any number of XProtect™ Enterprise installations.
With the increased security demands in today’s world, video surveillance can be a mission-critical operation that requires maximum up-time and total overview. Networked video systems include a variety of servers and devices that must be running properly in order to play their part in the overall security implementation, and the video paths from each camera across the infrastructure to the recording server contain numerous ‘points of failure’: if any of the devices fail to record or display the video, the outcome for the organization could be devastating.
XProtect™ Central can help prevent this. It provides continuous monitoring of the operational status and event-triggered alarms from XProtect™ Enterprise servers, video surveillance cameras and external devices like access control units from different vendors. This powerful solution gives security operators instant graphical overview of alarms, and notification on technical problems with immediate visual verification so you can resolve issues fast.


Feature highlights include:

• Centralized overview and control of operational status and alarms from XProtect™ Enterprise servers, network cameras, and external devices like PIR and access control units allows operators to manage even large video surveillance installations.
• Hierarchical multi-level maps make it easy to navigate to and identify an incident’s location and the system entities that are involved.
• Visual and audible alerting supports busy environments like alarm centrals.
• Instant access to servers and camera devices for visual verification ensures quick response.
• To spread the workload and provide backup capacity, alarm management can be assigned to multiple simultaneous operators with individual operator rights.
• The broad range of events available for triggering alarms allows customization to fit the requirements of each organization.
• Full alarm management provides surveillance operators with the option to acknowledge or reassign alarms or to ‘snooze’ specific incidents in case of scheduled maintenance.
• Integration with third party access control or intruder devices via XProtect™ Enterprise gives inter-operability for the most comprehensive overview of your security installation.
• Utilize Microsoft Active Directory users and groups for operator authentication and authorization.
• Define role-based groups and assign operators to these to achieve different access rights by type or camera.
• Client/Server based architecture uses HTTP and XML for data communication.
• Incoming alarms and system information are logged centrally in the SQL database.

Instant transmission of live video streams from any camera to any PC on the network.

Live video viewing by one or many
XProtect™ Matrix is a simple yet powerful tool for network monitoring of your security environment by multiple users. System operators can ensure that the display of live video from any surveillance camera is shown on any PC monitor on the network - instant transmission - without the need for costly hardware video matrix switches. One operator can also have multiple views of live video while recording.
Flexible configuration
XProtect™ Matrix can be installed on any machine in your organization or anywhere on the IP network, for automatic or manual (forced) distribution of live video to PCs where Matrix is installed. The display of a camera at a given computer can be remote-controlled from another computer in two ways: either from within XProtect™ Professional or Enterprise, or from a web page that shows, for instance, a geographical map of your company's locations. From XProtect™ Professional or Enterprise you can set Matrix to display camera views triggered by events or motion: multiple events can control a single monitor and single events can control multiple monitors - your choice!
An operator can view any camera on the network live on his computer screen. Users can be operating their computers as usual, but when a command is sent to display an event recorded by a camera, live video is shown immediately on the user's screen. The video window appears on top of any application the user may have open, in full-screen mode or in a re-sizeable window, single or quad camera views, with Replace or cyclical Shift modes of presenting new images. Operators can then monitor any number of cameras and be constantly aware of what is happening as an event progresses.

Set up like a Control Room
By running the XProtect™ Matrix product on the screens of several computers hooked up to the same PC, a functionality equivalent to Spot Monitors in a Control Room is easily achieved – without requiring expensive matrix hardware such as those needed by an analog system. Whether the monitors are in your local control room or across the country, XProtect™ Matrix can direct video camera streams with just a click of the mouse. XProtect™ Matrix connects directly to the camera chosen, and can therefore achieve the same high frame rate of the cameras recording. 
Control of Remote Screens
The flexibility and simplicity of the XProtect™ Matrix solution allows it to be used for many purposes. For example, you can control the display of cameras on computer screens even though they may be located at remote sites. In this way, a system operator can control which cameras the guards at other locations are watching.

Video transmission for emergencies
With XProtect™ Matrix, the possibilities are endless for managing and distributing live surveillance video: imagine how helpful it would be when a bank clerk presses an alarm or strangers enter a secured area in your organization!
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS:

• Control of large monitor banks with just one click of the mouse
• Ability to control remote monitors and force video stream to be displayed
• Optional web-page activation via graphical premise maps

Integrate network video surveillance recordings with POS or ATM transactions.

Retail industry surveys repeatedly show that inventory shrinkage is caused by both employees and customers, with a smaller amount due to administrative errors.

SAVE MONEY ON THE BOTTOM LINE
By managing the problems of fraud and theft head-on, the number one cause of financial loss in retail businesses can be reduced significantly. Suspicious transactions often are not innocent human error, but a systematic skimming of your inventory, cash and profits. Retailers and banks no longer have to search separately in transaction systems and video to find evidence of fraud.
ONE INTEGRATED DIGITAL LOSS REDUCTION SOLUTION
XProtect™ Transact from Milestone takes full advantage of the surveillance functionality of XProtect™ Basis+, XProtect™ Professional, and XProtect™ Enterprise: the best IP video management software available today. Together, you get a total solution to manage your digital video monitoring for protection against theft, integrated with transactions for clear evidence of fraud. The video surveillance handles shoplifting, vandalism, and robberies while XProtect™ Transact combines it with transaction data to investigate fraud.
PROOF OF SUSPECT INCIDENTS
XProtect™ Transact speeds investigations to determine fraud by integrating video surveillance images with Point Of Sale or Automatic Teller Machine transaction data: 1-to-1 correspondence of images to transactions. Simultaneous displays of receipt details with high quality video recordings of the events in action visually verify what really happened. Whether the problem is internal or external perpetrators, you can quickly search and view the data from your transaction system linked with video evidence to determine the cause of exceptions. Stored in a local or central database, it is easy to find suspicious transactions with just a click of the mouse. 

CENTRAL OR REMOTE ACCESS
XProtect™ Transact offers several user interfaces: access the system from a central office, branch location, from home or when traveling!
