Milestone Systems: Built on what was, ready for what’s next
Jesper Just Jensen, VP, Products, Milestone Systems speaks exclusively with ISJ.
Let’s start with our company strategy and product vision. We are here to make the world see and be the global leader in video technology. That’s our ambition both in the security arena – but also beyond it.
We enable learning from the past and understanding the present, but we’re also aiming to predict the future. Those ambitions in some part inform the choices we make within our product vision and strategy.
When Milestone acquired Arcules and BriefCam in 2024, we of course expanded our product portfolio, but what it also represents is the natural expansion of our overarching mission, enabling us to solve problems for much larger use cases and customer needs whilst, of course, continuing to extend Milestone’s own global reach.
The trojan hire: How remote recruitment became a hidden threat
ISJ hears exclusively from Pierre le Jeune D’Allegeershecque, Associate Director and Ursula Radu-Fernolend, Head of Central and Eastern Europe of Aperio Intelligence.
The article explores how remote recruitment opened passage ways for fraudulent job applications and criminal organisations to access confidential corporate data.
A man no one had met in person walked into a European company’s systems and walked out with its intellectual property only a few days later. His name was fake. His résumé was written by software. His salary went to a hostile state.
Cases like this are becoming more common.

Elbit Systems UK delivers surveillance radars to the British Army
Elbit Systems UK has delivered Ground Based Surveillance Radar (GBSR) systems to the British Army after successful live fire trials earlier this year.
GBSR is a portable radar system that operates in two primary roles: Surveillance and Fall of Shot (FoS) correction.
According to the company, when used for surveillance, the system can track and classify personnel, vehicles, helicopters and drones – providing troops with an accurate picture of allied movement and an early warning on incoming threats.
For FoS correction, GBSR provides mortar and artillery teams with rapid fires adjustments by detecting and locating rounds with a high level of accuracy – increasing the effectiveness and lethality of fires teams.
From fatigue to focus: How AI is changing operator workflows
ISJ hears exclusively from Milestone Systems’, Andrew Burnett, Interim CTO and Edward Mauser, Director and Product Lead for Project Hafnia, about Milestone’s latest announcement at the Smart City Expo World Congress.
We announced the upcoming launch of Hafnia Vision Language Model as a Service (VLMaaS) and a generative AI plug-in for our XProtect VMS, both developed in collaboration with NVIDIA.
The plug-in provides users with the power of advanced, large-scale AI models, making video review and alarm handling a lot easier.
