Milestone XProtect product

SiteSync for XProtect

Manage Interconnect between Parent and Child — sync cameras, folder structure, and GPS instead of manual Management Client work.

Who is it for?

Integrators and control centers running Milestone Interconnect / Federation that need a clean Parent against multiple Child sites — without manually updating cameras, folders, and GPS after every field change.

SiteSync connects to the Parent Management Server and manages several Interconnect sites from one window: onboarding, hardware updates, folder structure, and consistent camera names. It is a yairsys tool for XProtect. It does not replace Management Client.

Core capabilities

  • Connect to Parent Management Server (Basic / Windows / OAuth)
  • Manage multiple Interconnect sites from one window
  • Onboarding — add Interconnect hardware to Parent
  • Update Hardware — discover new cameras on Child
  • Diff-based folder sync into a Parent target folder
  • Camera naming strategies (Parent / Child / site prefix)
  • GPS sync (coordinates, direction, coverage)
  • Export/import GPS via Excel/CSV
  • Orphan camera handling (ignore / Trash + Disable)

Optional

  • Create Smart Client Views from folder structure
  • Copy camera permissions (including time profiles)
  • Scheduler via Windows Task Scheduler
MilestonePSTools: Required for Smart Client Views, copying camera permissions, and retrieving a saved hardware password. The installer adds MilestonePSTools 25.2.18 only if the module is not already present.
Licensing: Demo / Trial / Full — Demo includes connect, onboarding, Update Hardware, and Preview. Execute (sync), Scheduler, and GPS export/import require Trial or Full.

Where it sits

SiteSync can optionally create Smart Client Views from the folder structure as part of sync. ViewsSync is the Views-only tool: build or copy Views, including Federation remapping. A live source that is not already a Milestone camera goes through StreamBridge, a Recording Server driver. A custom MIP plugin or driver, beyond the ready tool, is Milestone development.

Platform notes, with vendor sources: XProtect. Short answers: FAQ. On-camera apps are a different layer — Axis ACAP and Hanwha Wisenet — and they do not sync Interconnect hardware.

Questions about SiteSync

Does SiteSync replace Management Client?

No. It shortens repeated Interconnect work — onboarding, hardware updates, and sync — instead of doing those steps by hand every time.

What is the difference between SiteSync and ViewsSync?

SiteSync focuses on Interconnect sync — hardware, folders, and GPS — and can optionally build Views from the folder tree. ViewsSync is Views-only, including copy and camera remapping.

Can we start with a Demo?

Yes. Demo includes connect, onboarding, Update Hardware, and Preview. Execute (sync), Scheduler, and GPS export/import require a Trial or Full license.
