At Milestone XPerience Days (MXD) USA in Las Vegas, more than 400 security professionals and enterprises are gathering to help shape the future of AI and video intelligence.
The event gathers technology partners such as NVIDIA and Dell together to bring their vision for what becomes possible when the right infrastructure meets the right intelligent video platform, Milestone said.
Ten Milestone customers will show what this looks like in the real world – from law enforcement and healthcare to smart cities and transportation.
“Milestone is bringing forward a future-proof video management platform built for the AI era, with analytics that help move security operations from reactive to more predictive,” says Andrew Burnett, Chief Technology Officer at Milestone Systems.
“Combined with the strength of our open platform, this creates new and powerful possibilities for customers and partners alike.”
The open platform
With the two-day event in Las Vegas and a new Experience Centre for partners and customers at its regional headquarters in Portland, Oregon, Milestone is sharpening its focus on the US market.
“We are transforming into one unified Milestone with an expanded product portfolio of XProtect Video Management Software, BriefCam AI-driven analytics and Arcules cloud-native VSaaS, all working together to help our customers capture everything and with the tools to understand what matters most,” says Tim Palmquist, Vice President for North America at Milestone Systems.
“The pace of change and innovation means that the open platform approach matters more than ever.
“No single vendor can deliver everything or fully envision the technology of tomorrow.
“The most future-proof approach is an open ecosystem, where you can integrate new technology and adapt quickly.”
Milestone says the real opportunity AI offers in security is to make operators and users more capable, help them cut through noise, surface what matters and free human judgment for the moments that require it.
“False alarms aren’t just an annoyance. They’re a trust problem,” adds Palmquist.
“When operators learn to ignore alerts because most of them don’t mean anything, the system stops working. That’s the real cost of poor detection.”
The physical AI frontier
Day two of MXD will open with a keynote from NVIDIA’s Adam Scraba, Global Business Development, on the frontier of Physical AI, followed by a fireside chat with Milestone’s Chief Technology Officer, Andrew Burnett.
Scraba and Burnett will discuss how and where NVIDIA and Milestone see the biggest opportunities for users over the next three to five years.
“Physical AI is the new frontier, where the next decade of video intelligence gets built, and we move from systems that record the world to systems that understand it and act on it intelligently,” says Burnett.
At the event, there will also be a close look into Las Vegas as one of the most complex security and operations environments on earth.
Leaders from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Harry Reid International Airport and Clark County School District will pull back the curtain on what it actually takes to run intelligent security at the scale of Vegas.
That is one of many panels and talks addressing the +400 attendees, sponsors and partners.
