Download the
XProtect®
Device Pack
A device pack is a set of drivers that is installed with your XProtect system to interact with your devices. A device
pack is installed on the recording server. Milestone adds support for new devices and firmware versions on an
ongoing basis, and releases device packs every two months on average. A device pack is automatically included
when you install the XProtect system. To get the latest device pack, manually check for newer versions to
download and install.
To update your device pack after installation, go to the download section of the Milestone website
(
https://www.milestonesys.com/downloads/
) and download the relevant installation file.
If your system uses very old cameras, you may need to download the device pack for
legacy devices. For more information, see

Update Windows
To update your Windows operating system with all the latest Windows updates, go to Windows Update settings
and check for updates. Make sure to install all available updates and restart the Husky unit if required.
