XProtect Transact is a transaction management system normally used for integrating data

handling data streams from other sources as well, and is thus ideal for integrating analytics data
into your surveillance system.

data wherever you require.
XProtect Analytics also works in tight integration with solutions delivered by independent partners
based on the Milestone Open Platform. Note that such solutions may impact the performance of

Basic Data Flow
In an XProtect Analytics solution, video and analytics data basically flows between the products in
the following way:
Cameras send raw video streams to the XProtect Professional, XProtect Enterprise or Corporate
surveillance system server(s).
 
The video streams are passed on to XProtect Analytics, which processes the video streams in one
or more steps: 1) Image analysis, for example for license plate recognition or left object detection,
and 2) Match against associated positive and/or negative lists, if required.
 
Whenever a license plate, left object, etc. is detected, data is sent (as XML metadata, including
exact timestamp information) to XProtect Transact.
 
XProtect Transact stores the data together with the
timestamp information, and then passes it on to the
Smart Client.
 
In the Smart Client, users are able to the analytics
data together with video from the surveillance
system.
The time-linking of the analytics data and video
makes sure that Smart Client users are able to view
and browse the analytics data and video
simultaneously.
Example: Simultaneous viewing of analytics data
and recorded video in the Smart Client
