On the central site, you can view the system's own status for the interconnected cameras, but not directly the
state of the remote site. Instead, to monitor the remote site, you can use the remote site events to trigger
alarms or other notifications on the central site (see Configure your central site to respond to events from
remote sites on page 301).
It also offers you the possibility to transfer remote site recordings to the central site based on either events,
rules/schedules, or manual requests by XProtect Smart Client users.
Only XProtect Corporate systems can work as central sites. All other products can act as remote sites including
XProtect Corporate. It differs from setup to setup which versions, how many cameras, and how devices and
events originating from the remote site are handled - if at all - by the central site. For further details on how
specific XProtect products interact in a Milestone Interconnect setup, go to the Milestone Interconnect website
(https://www.milestonesys.com/solutions/hardware-and-add-ons/milestone-addons/interconnect/).
Selecting Milestone Interconnect or Milestone Federated Architecture (explained)
In a physically distributed system where users on the central site need to access the video on the remote site,
you can choose between Milestone Interconnect™ or Milestone Federated Architecture™.
Milestone recommends Milestone Federated Architecture when:
l
The network connection between the central and federated sites is stable
l
The network uses the same domain
l
There are fewer larger sites
l
The bandwidth is sufficient for the required use
Milestone recommends Milestone Interconnect when:
l
The network connection between the central and remote sites is unstable
l
You or your organization want to use another XProtect product on the remote sites
l
The network uses different domains or workgroups
l
There are many smaller sites
Milestone Interconnect and licensing
To run Milestone Interconnect, you need Milestone Interconnect camera licenses on your central site to view
video from hardware devices on remote sites. The number of required Milestone Interconnect camera licenses
depends on the number of hardware devices on the remote sites that you want to receive data from. Only
XProtect Corporate can act as a central site.
The status of your Milestone Interconnect camera licenses are listed on the License Information page of the
central site.
Milestone Interconnect setups (explained)
There are three ways to run Milestone Interconnect. How to run your setup depends on your network
connection, how to play back recordings, and whether you retrieve remote recordings and to what degree.
