Milestone XProtect 2026 R1 is here

The latest release of Milestone XProtect 2026 R1 is here, bringing powerful new features designed to improve alarm handling, system visibility, operational efficiency, and multi-site management. Available through the Elvey Group, these updates help operators and administrators work faster, smarter, and with greater confidence across complex VMS environments.

What’s new in XProtect 2026 R1?

  • Access Control Alarm Reasons and Notes.
  • Mobile Client ‘What’s New Archive’.
  • New Server Logs functionality.
  • Device Pack 14.1.

Please note: The Smart Client is now a standalone download and must be used with XProtect VMS 2026 R1 to access the audit log.

Smarter alarm handling with access control integration

Operators can now select predefined alarm reasons directly from integrated access control systems within XProtect Alarm Manager. This removes the need for inconsistent manual entries and improves incident handling during critical events. Operator notes entered in XProtect are also automatically synchronised back to the access control system.

Key benefits:

  • Faster alarm handling.
  • Improved response consistency.
  • Better audit and reporting accuracy.
  • Greater operational efficiency.

Mobile Client ‘What’s New Archive’

New Mobile Client features no longer disappear after the first app launch. The new archive allows operators to revisit feature updates and enhancements at any time, making it easier for teams to stay informed and get more value from the platform.
