Milestone Systems, a global leader in video management software (VMS), unveiled its latest advancements in AI-driven video surveillance and analytics at Intersec 2025, the Middle East’s leading security and safety event. The Danish company demonstrated its commitment to revolutionizing the video surveillance industry, highlighting the crucial role of artificial intelligence in enhancing safety, operational efficiency, and data-driven insights across multiple industries.
According to global analyst firm Omdia, Milestone Systems is the largest VMS supplier in the Middle East and Europe. The company’s growth in the Middle East is being fueled by the region’s investments in smart cities and large-scale infrastructure, making it an ideal market for Milestone’s intelligent surveillance solutions. Milestone has consistently outpaced the average growth rate of 8-9% in the VMS sector, positioning itself as a leader in video surveillance technology.
“We are proud to participate for the 15th time in Intersec 2025 as a security leader in the Middle East’s smart city transformation,” said Louise Bou Rached, Regional Director of META at Milestone Systems. “Our focus is on strengthening partnerships with integrators, resellers, and end-users, expanding our presence in the MENA region, and driving innovation.”
Milestone’s future strategy includes enhancing its operations in the UAE and capitalizing on Saudi Arabia’s rapidly expanding market, particularly with high-profile smart city projects such as NEOM.
At Intersec 2025, Milestone highlighted its flagship XProtect Video Management Software and the AI-powered BriefCam Video Analytics platform, both of which are at the core of the company’s vision for intelligent video surveillance. In addition, Milestone announced new integrations with eight leading technology partners, such as Conexao Technology and CIAS. These collaborations emphasize the open-platform flexibility of XProtect, allowing businesses to derive actionable insights from video data, whether it’s improving safety at airports, optimizing operations in retail and hospitality, or enhancing public safety and government infrastructure.
BriefCam’s AI-driven video analytics allow organizations to process hours of footage in minutes, facilitating quicker emergency response, improved forensics, and significant operational savings. The company’s focus on artificial intelligence reflects the growing demand for smarter surveillance solutions that go beyond traditional video recording.
Milestone Systems has also built a strong reputation in the Middle East, having played a key role in securing high-profile events like the FIFA World Cup. The company is now focusing on the booming hospitality and aviation sectors, which are central to the region’s economic diversification efforts. The rising demand for hybrid and cloud-based VMS solutions is driven by the region’s emphasis on digital transformation, with governments and businesses prioritizing smarter, more efficient technology solutions.
“The demand for hybrid and cloud-based VMS solutions is surging as businesses and governments prioritize digital transformation,” Bou Rached added. “Milestone’s technology is designed to support this shift, ensuring the safety of public spaces and enabling smarter, more efficient business operations.”
