XProtect Interconnect Device License (Milestone part number XPCOMIDL) licenses one remote camera or device that is connected to an XProtect Corporate central site through Milestone Interconnect. Interconnect lets a central Corporate system view, play back and manage video from independent remote XProtect installations (Express+, Professional+, Expert, Corporate), Milestone Husky appliances and supported third-party recorders, without those sites giving up local recording. You need one Interconnect device licence per remote camera you bring into the central site, on top of the central site’s XProtect Corporate Base License.
Who it is for
multi-site organisations that want one control room over many independently run sites: retail chains, school districts, municipalities, transit operators, franchises and managed-service providers monitoring customer systems.
What XProtect Interconnect gives you
- Central live view, playback and export of remote-site cameras from one Smart Client
- Remote sites keep recording locally; only requested video crosses the WAN, which suits low-bandwidth and cellular links
- Retrieve remote recordings on demand or by schedule into central storage
- Central alarm handling, maps and Smart Wall across all connected sites
- Remote sites can be any paid XProtect edition, Husky appliances or supported third-party NVRs
- No change to the remote site licensing: the Interconnect licence lives on the Corporate central site
Licensing
Requires: XProtect Corporate central site.
Quantity: One per remote camera or device connected through Interconnect.
Compatible editions: XProtect Corporate (central site).
This is an electronic licence. Nothing ships: the licence is issued against your Milestone software licence code (SLC) and activated in the Management Client. Perpetual XProtect licences include the first year of Milestone Care Plus; keeping Care Plus current gives you version upgrades and full trade-in value when you move to a higher edition.

Frequently asked questions
Do I still need device licences at the remote site?
Yes. The remote site keeps its own edition and device licences. The Interconnect device licence is additional and sits on the central Corporate system.
What is the difference between Interconnect and Federated Architecture?
Federated Architecture links Expert and Corporate sites into one hierarchy with full central management. Interconnect is lighter: it connects any XProtect edition or Husky appliance to a Corporate central site for viewing and retrieval, and it is licensed per camera.
Does it work over cellular or satellite links?
Yes. Video stays at the remote site and only the streams an operator requests are pulled across, so it is well suited to limited bandwidth.
Does CamCentral install and support it?
Yes. We are a Milestone VMS Specialist in Vancouver serving Canada and the United States, with certified XProtect design and integration staff, and we build custom XProtect plugins.
