Reduce maintenance time by updating firmware in XProtect
Regular firmware updates are an integral part of keeping installations safe and well-functioning. But executing these updates is a tedious task. In this release, we help operators gain back precious time with the ability to update firmware directly in XProtect Management Client.
Now, system administrators with supported device brands* can complete updates from a single user interface, saving time and energy. Bulk updates for devices in XProtect Corporate and XProtect Expert are also possible.
*This feature supports devices from AXIS, Bosch and Hanwha. It also supports devices connected through the ONVIF driver.
Build without barriers
The cap on supported channels has skyrocketed to 512, giving professionals more freedom of choice. This is a vast improvement from the 16-channel limit for ONVIF and the 64-channel limit for the Universal Driver. Partners building their own integrations with the Milestone Driver API/SDK, can now enjoy complete freedom, going from a 1-channel limit to support for an unlimited number of channels.
| Device | Before 2021 R1 | From 2021 R1 |
| ONVIF | Max 16 channels | 512 channels supported |
| Driver API/SDK | Max 1 channel | Unrestricted number of channels supported |
| Universal driver | Max 64 channels | 512 channels supported |
Centralized Search – Rank results by relevance
Operators can rank Search results by relevance, with the most relevant results listed at the top.
This new function helps users find results that best match their search parameters and quickly find what they are looking for.
