CloudFormation Template (CFT) AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

Additional details
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

Xprotect’s Open Architecture, Strong Integrations, and Reliable Support
Reviewed on Oct 05, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Xprotect offers great flexibility to my projects in terms of its open architecture and integration possibilities. The after-sales support is also very helpful and efficient in solving any challenges during deployment. The performance of the application is also well optimized and runs smoothly over the prescribed hardware configuration. The pricing is on the higher side, but its transparent and simple licensing policy makes it worthy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The app’s UI/UX is an area that could be improved. The interface would benefit from a more modern look, and a few features should be easier to configure. Adding basic AI analytics would also help encourage adoption and make the product more appealing to new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Xprotect helps me centralize my sites, which makes managing the system much easier. It also helps me keep track of everything using tools such as system monitoring, audit reports, and the dashboard.

Open, Integration-Rich XProtect with Smooth Performance and Effective Support
Reviewed on Sep 30, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of XProtect is its openness and the way it integrates with multiple ELV systems out there. Its huge list of supported devices and technology partners gives me strong confidence in its capabilities. The support team is also quite effective at providing the resolutions I need when issues come up. Pricing feels justified for what the product offers and the overall experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI/UX feels pretty average, nothing particularly impressive; but the overall performance is smooth and jitter-free. While AI analytics from multiple vendors can be integrated seamlessly, I feel that at a premium, corporate-level price point, some AI analytics should be included as complimentary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
XProtect helps me to solve 2 primary challenges.
1. Tag barcode of shipments and bookmark the same in the playback video which can be easily tracked in case of any disputes.
2. Centralized search feature allows me to quickly review my playback.

Review provided by G2

Its learning curve is roughly the same as any other user friendly VMS, but once you know it, it's an extremely easy product to use. It also integrates with virtually every other security adjacent software I've needed.

This isn't exactly helpful, but honestly, nothing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a streamlined VMS; it works. Plain and simple.

Exceptional Support with User-Friendly Dashboard
Reviewed on Jul 08, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate how good the tech support for XProtect is. We had some technical issues and their team helped us work through them efficiently. The dashboard is another highlight; it's very user-friendly and enables multiple users to access the cameras they need without being overwhelmed by events. It's also worth mentioning that the setup felt pretty close to plug and play, especially after the support team helped us figure out which MAC address was needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the inability to remote access a live video feed with XProtect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use XProtect to stream video feeds remotely and get instant push notifications when something happens.

Xprotect integrates easily with a lot of alarm managers such as Irisity and a lot of thirdy parties. It scalable and has a lot of feautures
What do you dislike about the product?
The price on the licences is pricey for a lot of low earning clients. Also the lack of onboard analytics requires an extra subscription or expensive cameras with built analytics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for gate monitoring which notifies us if the gate is left open or have been opened. We also combine with 3rd parties to have robust systems that can be used to detect and prevent crimes before they occure
