Milestone Systems Announces AI Built for Security Operations, Powered by Real-World Security Data

March 20, 2026

Milestone Systems announced new AI and analytics solutions, enabling security teams to deploy generative AI with confidence. These include AI search, video summarization and video anonymization. 

Milestone’s new AI solutions are purpose-built to help security operators with AI solutions that they can trust in critical moments. Designed to reduce manual effort at key points in the security workflow, the generative AI solutions allow for faster video review, consistent incident documentation and regulatory compliance, aligned with the EU AI Act and GDPR, within the Milestone ecosystem.

Milestone’s vision language models (VLMs) are fine-tuned on vertical- and use-case-specific video data, delivering consistent, reliable outputs purpose-built for video intelligence. To support secure and air-gapped environments, Milestone will also offer on-premises AI search through BriefCam: the full intelligence of AI with no internet connection required. AI search will be available by the end of 2026.

XProtect Video Summarization automatically generates detailed descriptions of video footage. Operators can send video clips with custom prompts and receive structured, consistent summaries of what’s happening in the scene. Video Anonymization automatically redacts faces and license plates in video footage, enabling organizations to share, export and store video in full compliance with data privacy regulations. Video Anonymization is powered by brighter AI’s deep anonymization technology and will be available soon in Arcules and XProtect.
