Tested models
The nmilestone driver has been tested with the Milestone XProtect Professional. Milestone XProtect Enterprise is deprecated, but uses the
same API.
Requirements
- IP access between the DVR or camera and remote controller
- Appropriate open ports: the defaults are port 80 for the web (image server port), central port 1237, and upload events port
1234.
Compliance
- To create presets, use the Milestone application. This driver does not support preset creation. It does support the Move-to-Preset
option.
- Milestone cameras do not support: Enable Detection and Disable Detection. Even if you add an Event Detection Control Ext,
it will not work with a Milestone camera.
- This driver does not support Iris and Focus controls.
- Camera health continues to report Ok even after the camera is disconnected from the network. This is an issue with the Milestone application. Video is not streamed
for a disconnected camera.
CAUTION: Milestone products do not support secure communication, therefore, it is not possible to secure the connection between a station
and its Milestone devices.
