Milestone Systems has announced a forthcoming generative AI-powered video analytics plug-in for its XProtect video management software (VMS), developed in collaboration with NVIDIA.

Designed to help operators contextualize alarms and focus on what truly matters, the company says that the new tool automates video review, filters out false alarms and could reduce up to 30% of operator alarm fatigue.

The plug-in leverages generative AI to automatically summarize, contextualize and validate video content in real time, helping teams respond faster, manage video more efficiently and effectively reduce operator alarm fatigue.

Key capabilities

Milestone Systems says that the plug-in includes:

  • Automated incident reports – Selected video clips are instantly converted into incident summaries and structured reports, helping operators reduce time spent on documentation
  • Event validation – The plug-in can be configured to analyze motion events and validate alarms, reducing false positives and improving alert handling. This feature is fully integrated with the XProtect rule engine
  • Contextual bookmark summaries – Bookmarked footage is automatically summarized using natural-language output, allowing fast triage without reviewing each clip manually

The plug-in integrates directly with the XProtect rule engine and is deployable on-premises or in the cloud to support compliance and deployment flexibility.

Real-world data

The company says that this new solution is built on Milestone’s Hafnia Vision Language Model (VLM) trained on 75,000 hours of ethically sourced, real-world video data from either Europe or the US, using NVIDIA Cosmos Curator for data preparation and running either on cloud infrastructure or regional data centers powered by NVIDIA.

Thomas Jensen, CEO of Milestone Systems, said: “With this new XProtect plug-in, we are making advanced video intelligence accessible to cities, organizations and operators everywhere who manage traffic systems – helping them unlock new levels of efficiency, safety and insight.

“XProtect users will get access to state-of-the-art generative AI capabilities and our partners will be able to build value on top of those new capabilities now available within XProtect.

“It truly marks a pivotal step in our mission to transform how the world manages and learns from visual data, responsibly and at scale.”
