Improvements for operators
The 2023 R1 software update offers, according to the company, "significant improvements in user experience, collaboration with operators and situational awareness."

In addition, the 2023 R1 includes more situational awareness features with smart maps in Mobile clients. This function offers operators a panoramic view in the form of a map of cameras and devices, which allows faster response times.
Easy to share video data
The Picture in Picture background function allows operators to maintain attention on a particular camera while performing other tasks, ensuring permanent situational awareness. On top of that, native screenshots in Mobile Clients give operators an easy way to get and share video captures.
Fast and efficient installations

These improvements ensure that VMS installation and configuration is more efficient, which in turn reduces the time and effort required to get the system up and running."
New webhooks in XProtect
With XProtect 2023 R1, standards in the Management Client now support the action of webhook accessories. According to Milestone "this allows users to create a webhook item in the Management Client with the URL from any third-party service and then configure a rule in XProtect to trigger it when an event occurs."
Finally, the brand explained that with webhooks, administrators can integrate with no-code platforms such as Zapier or IFTTT. It's never been easier to transform events presented in XProtect into text messages, calls, new tickets, messages to the team, or even flashing lights.
