Axis Communications announces the release of version 5.2 of AXIS Optimizer for Milestone XProtect. This latest version offers improved functionality for managing Axis device events directly in XProtect. It also introduces Axis consolidated metadata which significantly accelerates forensic search investigations.
AXIS Optimizer events control panel*
AXIS Optimizer 5.2 includes a dedicated control panel for Axis device events to help system admin roles get a full status overview of, manage, and troubleshoot events directly in XProtect. It offers a central hub to see all available and subscribed events associated with Axis devices in the system. This allows users to quickly search for events for all connected devices, add or remove events from devices, setup events for multiple devices in batch, view status of events, and more.

Consolidated metadata support**
This latest release also offers support for consolidated metadata to speed up forensic search investigations. Ideal for client-side forensic search operations, this processing technique significantly reduces the total amount of data to be analyzed, as metadata is only generated when objects appear or disappear in a scene. This results in Axis cameras generating up to 50 times less metadata, so forensic search can be performed up to 50 times faster.
AXIS Optimizer 5.2 also offers more ways to update AXIS License Plate Verifier list manager allowing users to reset or combine existing license plates lists when importing a new file. Additionally, it includes the publication of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) notifications on axis.com. This nested inventory list shows all components included in the software and provides necessary information that customers need to know about the software.
Key features for this release include:
- Events control panel for easy management of events
- Support for consolidated metadata
- Up to 50 times faster forensic search***
- More capabilities for AXIS License Plate Verifier list manager
- SBOM notifications on axis.com
Available for free as a one-time installer, AXIS Optimizer is a cost-efficient suite of integrations that optimizes the performance of Axis devices in Milestone.
AXIS Optimizer for Milestone XProtect version 5.2 will be available on 17 April 2024 and can be downloaded at https://www.axis.com/products/axis-optimizer-for-milestone-xprotectr
* AXIS Optimizer event control panel requires Milestone XProtect 2022 R2 or later.
** Consolidated metadata requires Axis devices with AXIS OS version 11.10 or later.
*** Actual savings is dependent upon how busy the scene is.
