Reuse existing cameras?
Although XProtect Advanced VMS already supports more than 1500 different camera models, it
currently does not support as many different camera makes and models as XProtect Enterprise. This
is due to the fact that the camera drivers need to be ported from one platform to another.
Before migrating, it is important that you verify that the cameras used in your XProtect Enterprise
setup is also supported by XProtect Advanced VMS. This is quickly verified on the Milestone website.
Go to
www.milestonesys.com’s Support and Services > Support > Supported Hardware and find
your relevant software version.
When verifying your cameras, also verify that required functionality (e.g. input) is supported. There are
slight differences in the way exact functionality of certain cameras is supported by XProtect Advanced
VMS compared to XProtect Enterprise.
If a camera you require is not currently supported by XProtect Advanced VMS, contact your Milestone
representative. Support for the camera may be imminent; and if not, your Milestone representative will
be able to forward a request for supported by XProtect Advanced VMS.
