Large-scale surveillance deployments using Milestone need drone data to coexist with traditional CCTV infrastructure. This bridge eliminates the integration gap without custom development.

🚀 Getting Started

Deploy Milestone Event Server plugin on-premise

Configure FH2 webhook endpoints in the bridge

Test event flow with a sample dock mission

Roll out to production with monitoring enabled

✅ Features

Push mission lifecycle events to Milestone Event Server
Dock online/offline status sync as XProtect hardware events
Automatic camera bookmark creation on mission start/end
Supports batch event replay for historical analysis

📋 Use Cases

Airport perimeter security with drone-augmented surveillance
Critical infrastructure monitoring with centralized VMS
Multi-site security operations with unified event timeline

⚠️ Known Limitations

• Requires Milestone Event Server plugin installed on-premise
