Milestone XProtect Express 2024 is a professional VMS solution designed for small and medium-sized businesses, with a standout advantage: free license for under 8 cameras. This is an ideal choice for small shops, retail stores, representative offices, or restaurants that want to use a professional video management system without the initial investment in license costs.
Although it is an entry-level version, XProtect Express still inherits Milestone's 30-year-old core engine, supporting over 7,000 camera models from more than 100 different brands. You can freely choose cameras from Axis, Hikvision, Bosch, Dahua, Uniview... without any restrictions. The XProtect Smart Client interface is intuitive and easy to use, supporting both desktop and mobile apps for remote monitoring.
When your business expands, you can easily upgrade to XProtect Expert (supporting failover and more features) or XProtect Corporate (flagship enterprise) without changing the camera system. This ensures that the initial investment is protected and the system can grow with your needs.
XProtect Express is suitable for small-scale projects that require professionalism and future scalability.
