Usage instructions
Use the AWS Console to get the EC2 instance public DNS name or download the RDP file for the instance. Use RDP to access the EC2 instance with user name and password you specified during deployment.
Upon login an installation script will run in PowerShell, do not close the script before it is finished. The script installs all prerequisites for XProtect, any optional features selected in the CloudFormation stack creation (Storage Bridge and RDS) and launches the XProtect installer. Once the installer is started follow the regular XProtect installation process. It is important to transfer your license file to the device as it is required during the installation and cannot be added after. When the XProtect installer is finished the script continues the final configurations, let it run until it prompts for a restart by "pressing any key". After the device has restarted the setup is complete.
External Dependencies Disclosure:
- This product requires internet connectivity during initial deployment to download the SqlServer PowerShell module from PowerShell Gallery
- If Storage Bridge feature is enabled, ongoing connections to AWS S3 services are required
- All external dependencies are publicly available and require no additional customer payments

VMS management made easy with Milestone Xprotect
Reviewed on Apr 24, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
We are using Milestone Xprotect Corporate version. The UI makes Xprotect stand out as an easy-to-use product compared to other VMS tools available in the market. Not only UI but also other features like camera addition/deletion and modification is a very easy task for operator and VMS engineers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reporting tool. Milestone should work more on the reporting tool to get the adhoc reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Xprotect made the surveillance monitoring easy. Compared to other tools we used so far, we found no lagging issues with Milestone XProtect. camera driver issues are constantly addressed by milestone so that any new camera model can easily be allocated in to the VMS software. We have integrated the Veracity and awiros application along with milestone xprotect for command & control setup and video analytics. there was a smooth integration.
