i-PRO Co. Ltd., a global company in professional security and public safety solutions, and Milestone Systems, a company in data-driven video technology, announced that selected cameras now support native camera-to-cloud connectivity within Milestone’s video surveillance-as-a-service platform, Arcules.

The integration enables i-PRO cameras to connect directly to Milestone’s Arcules cloud without requiring on-site servers, recorders or hardware gateways. By combining i-PRO’s AI-enabled edge hardware with Arcules’ cloud-managed architecture, organizations can deploy a simplified, serverless video infrastructure.

Milestone’s Arcules platform delivers centralized cloud video management, including live monitoring, playback, event search, mobile access, alert management and case handling tools across distributed environments.

Embedded edge AI analytics processes people and vehicle detection directly within the camera. Only relevant metadata and event-based footage are transmitted to the cloud. Secured local SD card storage provides additional resilience in bandwidth-constrained environments and ensures video continuity during temporary network interruptions.

The current integration includes a selection of i PRO S series camera models, and support will continue to expand across the wider i PRO line-up throughout 2026. This broad compatibility provides indoor and outdoor deployment flexibility across retail, education, healthcare, hospitality and multi-site enterprise environments.

“Cloud is not about forcing a single architecture; it’s about giving customers freedom and flexibility of choice,” said Philippe Henaine, manager, strategic partners, i PRO. “With camera to cloud connectivity in Milestone’s Arcules platform, i PRO is enabling a cloud model where intelligence starts at the edge and scales securely into the cloud, allowing organizations to modernize at their own pace without compromising performance, cybersecurity or openness.”

Sebastian Döllner, vice president, technology partnerships and open platform, Milestone Systems, added, “Cloud is transforming how organizations manage and secure video data, and with the addition of i-PRO cameras, Milestone continues to accelerate the shift toward cloud-optimized, serverless video architecture. By expanding the range of cloud-ready devices, even more customers are empowered to adopt the right mix of technology for their operational and budget requirements. This is what our open platform philosophy is all about, and, together with partners like industry leading i-PRO, we are shaping intelligent solutions that resonate with our customers’ evolving needs.”
