# Milestone XProtect With WSC Using Storage Bridge

Wasabi is certified for use with [Milestone XProtect Video Management Software](https://www.milestonesys.com/solutions/platform/video-management-software/). Unlike Wasabi, the XProtect application does not have an S3 interface for connection to S3-compatible service. Therefore, you can use a third-party application, such as [Storage Bridge](https://www.tiger-technology.com/software/storage-bridge-milestone/), to extend your on-premise storage to Wasabi.

The [Wasabi Surveillance Cloud](https://wasabi.com/cloud-storage-for-surveillance/) product is a bundle offering that includes the software bridge and a Wasabi object storage account.

## Requirements

- Milestone XProtect VMS software
- Storage Bridge plugin
- [Wasabi Surveillance Cloud storage account](https://billing-service.wasabisys.com/CommunitiesSelfReg?pid=WSC)
- [Wasabi bucket](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/working-with-buckets-and-objects#creating-a-bucket)
- [Access and secret keys](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-user-account-and-access-key)
