Recording servers and cameras
Connect through the XProtect API Gateway, discover available recording servers and cameras, then select the entities that belong in AlarmForgeX.
PRIMARY VMS INTEGRATION
Milestone XProtect monitoring that keeps operations visible.
AlarmForgeX connects to the Milestone XProtect API Gateway to discover recording servers and cameras, track useful operational state, and bring VMS health into the same Windows workspace as the rest of the security estate.
Local Windows monitoringOperational state stays with the AlarmForgeX host unless you configure external delivery.
Recorder + camera visibilityDiscover XProtect recording servers and cameras through the configured API Gateway.
Optional receiver reportingRoute qualified faults and restores through configured AlarmForgeX reporting paths.
WHAT IT ADDS
One health view beyond the VMS client.
AlarmForgeX complements XProtect rather than replacing it. The goal is to make recorder and camera health visible alongside other infrastructure and to give installers a consistent operational history when something changes.
Useful operational state
Track recorder communication and camera recording state, plus selected persistent technical state groups exposed by the configured XProtect environment.
Qualified alarm and restore events
When configured, confirmed state changes can use AlarmForgeX's persistent reporting queue, account mapping and receiver delivery paths.
WORKFLOW
Connect once, then monitor continuously.
The integration is designed around explicit discovery and state monitoring rather than modifying XProtect recording configuration.
Connect the API Gateway
Enter the XProtect server details and authenticate using the supported AlarmForgeX connection workflow.
Discover entities
Review the detected recording server, cameras and available technical event groups before importing.
Map monitoring points
Assign imported entities to the appropriate AlarmForgeX site and functional Area / Zone ranges.
Watch and report
Use live state, history, checks and optional reporting to identify and deliver confirmed conditions.
DESIGNED FOR SUPPORT
Useful when the question is “is the recording system actually healthy?”
AlarmForgeX gives installers another operational layer for sites where recorder state needs to sit beside cameras, alarm systems, UPS devices, network targets and monitoring-station reporting.
- Recorder communication state and recovery visibility
- Camera online and recording-state visibility where exposed by XProtect
- Selected stateful XProtect technical conditions for supported environments
- Common AlarmForgeX logs, device checks and service-mode workflows
- Optional CSV/IP or SIA DC-09 reporting of qualified conditions
TRY THE SAME WINDOWS BUILD
Add XProtect health to the wider security estate.
Start with the free capacity or activate the built-in evaluation, then decide whether the site needs a permanent commercial licence.
