Case Study: Western Kentucky University achieves scalable, flexible video management with Milestone Systems

IT network team scales out Milestone video as a service at W. Kentucky University

Western Kentucky University’s IT network team needed a scalable, flexible way to expand campus video use beyond basic surveillance, and turned to Milestone Systems and its XProtect software. As the university found new demands from campus police, testing facilities, traffic studies, and construction monitoring, it needed a solution that could support multiple use cases without adding complexity or slowing operations.

Milestone Systems implemented XProtect with integrations such as the Smart Wall add-on, emergency phone triggers, Active Directory user management, and temporary camera deployments for short-term projects. The result was faster incident response, real-time monitoring for proctoring, low-cost video capture for planners, and a system that helped Western Kentucky University meet growing needs with flexibility, reliability, power, and simplicity.
