BEST
Milestone Systems informs the users of XProtect Corporate about privacy relevant matters in an exemplary manner by means of documents (in particular, a privacy guide and a hardening guide) and an online training. Users are also provided with useful templates/samples (e.g., for a video surveillance policy and an on-the-spot notice).
XProtect Corporate comes with a sophisticated privacy masking functionality. If there should be a need to export video data, it allows the users to encrypt, sign and mask the footage, to prevent it from being exported again and to audit exports through corresponding log entries.
ATTENTION
XProtect Corporate facilitates its privacy compliant use and may contribute to the legitimate implementation of a video surveillance system. However, the use of XProtect Corporate alone does not guarantee in itself that a video surveillance system complies with EU data protection law. Rather, the legitimacy of the video surveillance system needs to be evaluated separately on a case by case basis by the operator of the video surveillance system (i.e. the user of XProtect Corporate).
SUMMARY
XProtect Corporate is a universal video management software (VMS) that allows operating small video surveillance installations with a single or few video cameras on a single site up to installations with thousands of cameras distributed over many different locations. XProtect Corporate is the enterprise version of a product family that ranges from a free community edition over different intermediary variants up to the scalable and redundant product (the ToE) for multi-site installations with distributed operation. Customers of this variant of the product line are midrange to large enterprises and public authorities of any kind. Due to the general purpose nature of the product its usage neither is limited to a specific industrial or public sector nor to a certain area of application.
