Axis representatives celebrate winning a Milestone award.

Axis was recognized for the award on June 4th, 2026, at the Milestone XPerience Days in Las Vegas, NV.  

Earlier this month, Axis earned the Milestone Device & Hardware Partner of the Year for North America award at the Milestone XPerience Days in Las Vegas, NV.  

“This is a testament to our commitment to creating seamless, high-value security ecosystems,” said Robert Muehlbauer, Sr. Business Development Manager, Axis Communications. “This award highlights the power of our integration, ensuring customers have access to a cohesive security infrastructure that reduces complexity and maximizes safety and operational efficiency.” 

"Axis sets the benchmark for reliability, scale, and innovation in device integration on the Milestone platform,” said Tim Palmquist, VP Americas, Milestone Systems.

Proof points for the award include the following recent innovations and updated integrations:

Streamlines a facility's security and simplifies personnel movement with Axis Secure Entry access control solution. By integrating sophisticated access control directly into a unified XProtect interface, the need to jump between different software platforms is eliminated. This creates a more efficient workflow and a more secure environment for assets, giving total control over who enters a premise from a single, intuitive dashboard.

This integration simplifies the entire lifecycle of body worn camera footage—from the moment it's captured in the field to the moment it's archived in XProtect. By removing the friction of data transfer and management, critical evidence is secured quickly and accessed easily, enhancing accountability and safety across an entire operation. This complete, self-hosted solution also lets you stream live video from Axis body worn cameras in XProtect.

Built for those who are running a public address system with a lot of speakers, a lot of zones, or a lot of complexity.  The single platform can be used to remotely set up and manage audio zones, content, schedules, and user permissions – and see the status of every audio device in the installation to make sure they’re working properly.  The integration is optimized and united in XProtect for administrators to configure everything in the Management Client and users of the Smart Client who can live page, play pre-recorded audio clips, and automate actions based on analytic events.

The value of the AXIS Optimizer for XProtect is now even greater with support for distribution through the Milestone Update Manager.  This allows for seamless updates of the application, increases deployment efficiency, and saves time and IT resources.
