IQSight SmartSuite integration with XProtect

April 2026 Surveillance, News & Events, AI & Data Analytics

Milestone Systems and IQSight, formerly Bosch Video Systems, announced the global release of SmartSuite, a consolidated plug-in suite that embeds IQSight's Intelligent Video Analytics directly into Milestone’s XProtect video management software (VMS).

Many organisations are rapidly embedding artificial intelligence (AI) across public safety, smart cities, transport networks, and critical infrastructure. SmartSuite arrives at a pivotal moment in the transformation of security technology.

Streamlining system setup and leveraging rich metadata, the SmartSuite integration empowers security professionals to configure hardware, surface analytics, and manage operations within XProtect as a single pane of glass. Bringing this data from SmartSuite directly into XProtect adds intelligence, delivering deeper forensic insights, accelerated incident response, and operational efficiency, providing the foresight organisations need to proactively address security and safety risks.

Key benefits include:

● Surfaces rich metadata within XProtect, including colour-coded bounding boxes, object classification, trajectory lines, and gunshot direction indicators.

● Supports forensic search and real-time metadata visualisation for Intelligent Video Analytics Pro (IVA Pro) analytics, such as appearance and personal protective equipment (PPE).

● Compatible with IVA Pro Visual Gun Detection, designed to detect a person brandishing a gun and promptly alert personnel to support faster threat identification.

● Reduces installation time for system integrators by up to 70% by consolidating three separate plug-ins into one unified suite (based on IQSight’s in-house testing of the three new SmartSuite plug-ins).

● Includes panoramic de-warping and hardware control features such as wipers and infrared illumination.

● Adds Project Assistant import capabilities, enabling automatic configuration of Bosch camera names, groups, network settings, and image adjustments to speed up commissioning.

SmartSuite is available globally free of charge and can be downloaded from IQSight.com.
