Introduction
Milestone Event Proxy is an add-on program to the Milestone XProtect Enterprise and Professional
surveillance systems.
In order to minimise false alarms the Event Proxy acts as a filter on incoming input events from
third party applications to the Milestone XProtect surveillance system. Third party applications
communicate with the surveillance system through a custom made interface. The Event Proxy
receives input from this interface and sends output to the surveillance system.
Based on rules using logical operators the Event Proxy decides if the input events should result in
an event going to Milestone XProtect.
