  • A new layout for video grids in Mobile Clients for Tablets, optimizing space usage and enhancing visibility
  • Vietnamese language support added to operator clients, furthering Milestone's commitment to serving diverse markets
  • Additionally, Milestone has overhauled its XProtect 360 Split View plugin, improving video loading speed, reducing memory consumption, and enhancing overall stability for users working with 360-degree cameras.

These updates reflect Milestone's ongoing dedication to innovation and its responsiveness to customer needs. By continually refining its offerings and exploring new technologies, Milestone aims to provide video management solutions that not only meet current demands but are also adaptable to future challenges in the security industry.
