Milestone Systems released an advanced vision language model (VLM) specializing in traffic understanding and powered by NVIDIA Cosmos Reason. The VLM powers two new products: a video summarization tool for XProtect Video Management Software and a VLM-as-a-Service for third party integrations.

With Milestone Systems’ new video summarization tool, a generative AI-powered plug-in for the XProtect Smart Client, users and operators can now rely on a specialized product that automates operator workflows, saves valuable time and reduces false alarm fatigue significantly. Early reports show video summarization could reduce operator false alarm fatigue by up to 30%.

The video summarization tool analyzes camera footage and describes what's happening. Users simply send a snippet of video and a prompt describing their request, and the model will generate a text summary in seconds.
