CVEDIA-RT Plugin for Milestone XProtect

Version Notice

This documentation is valid for CVEDIA-RT version 2025.2.0 and later.

The CVEDIA-RT Plugin enables powerful analytics capabilities in your Milestone XProtect system, enhancing the effectiveness of your surveillance operations.

The plugin integrates seamlessly with Milestone XProtect, allowing you to leverage CVEDIA's advanced AI video analytics directly within the Milestone environment. It supports a wide range of detection features, from basic object detection to specialized analytics like armed person detection and license plate recognition.

The architecture is designed to offload AI inference workloads to dedicated CVEDIA AI Appliances or other CVEDIA-RT Server instances, ensuring that your Milestone servers remain responsive and efficient, without the need for hardware upgrades on existing infrastructure.

This allows the system to grow over time by keeping AI inference separate from the Milestone components. This makes it easy to add new CVEDIA-RT Server instances or appliances, without requiring changes to existing camera setups or analytics configuration.
