Select your VMS platform and server model to see a full spec and price comparison
Security integrators comparing Milestone Husky IVO and Avigilon NVR6 servers against Arxys VideoX can use this tool to see a full specification and pricing comparison for any configuration — camera channel count, storage capacity, CPU performance, network speed, and delivery timeline — in one place. Arxys VideoX servers are purpose-built NVR appliances certified for Milestone XProtect, Avigilon ACC, and Genetec Security Center. Unlike VMS-branded servers tied to a single vendor, Arxys ships on AMD EPYC architecture, supports NDAA compliance, and delivers in 3–4 weeks versus the 8–16 week lead times currently quoted on Milestone Husky and Avigilon NVR hardware.

Questions Security Integrators Ask About Arxys VideoX Servers
Answers about compatibility, pricing, lead times, and how Arxys compares to Milestone Husky IVO and Avigilon NVR6 hardware.
Yes. Arxys VideoX servers are certified compatible with Milestone XProtect VMS including XProtect Express+, Professional+, Expert, and Corporate. They are purpose-built NVR appliances — you use your existing Milestone licenses with no software changes required. Arxys is not a Milestone-branded product, which is exactly why the hardware costs less and ships faster.
The Arxys VideoX V400 — the matched configuration for the Husky IVO 1000R — supports up to 200 camera channels versus 150 on the Husky, runs an AMD EPYC processor with a Passmark score roughly 95% higher than the Xeon Silver in the 1000R, includes more drive bays for future expansion, and ships with 10GbE networking versus the 1GbE standard on the Husky. Published Arxys MSRP is lower, and delivery runs 3–4 weeks versus the 8–16 weeks currently quoted on Milestone hardware. Use the comparison tool above to see the exact numbers for your configuration.
Yes. Both Avigilon ACC (Access Control Manager) and Avigilon Control Center VMS support third-party servers that meet Avigilon's hardware requirements. Arxys VideoX servers are certified for Avigilon ACC and run the software using your existing Avigilon licenses — exactly as an Avigilon-branded NVR6 appliance would. The Avigilon NVR6 is built on a Dell platform; Arxys VideoX is purpose-built on AMD EPYC with comparable or better specs at lower cost.
Milestone and Avigilon both revised their hardware pricing in March 2026, and again in April 2026. Integrators quoting projects with Husky IVO and Avigilopn hardware after that date are seeing price increases of 40–100% compared to pre-March pricing on the same models. This has made the hardware line a much larger portion of total project cost on Milestone and Avigilon deployments, which is pushing many integrators to evaluate qualified alternatives for the first time.
Current lead times for Milestone Husky IVO servers through US distributors are typically 8–16 weeks depending on the model and storage configuration. This is a meaningful constraint on project scheduling. Arxys VideoX servers ship in 3–4 weeks from a US facility. Arxys has also secured Toshiba Enterprise HDD allocation through 2027, which protects against the drive supply chain delays that have affected other server vendors.
Yes. All Arxys VideoX servers are NDAA Section 889 compliant. They do not incorporate components from prohibited manufacturers and are suitable for federal, state, municipal, education, and critical infrastructure projects with NDAA hardware requirements. This is the same compliance standard as the Milestone Husky IVO series.
No. Most integrators who work with Arxys start by qualifying VideoX as a second source on one project — typically a larger deployment where the hardware line is a significant bid item, or a project where an 8–16 week lead time creates a scheduling problem. Arxys VideoX servers run alongside existing Milestone Husky or Avigilon NVR hardware in the same XProtect or ACC deployment. There is no commitment to switch your primary vendor.
All Arxys VideoX servers include a 5-year NBD Advanced Replacement warranty. On a hardware failure, a replacement unit ships next business day — the same warranty tier as the Milestone Husky IVO series. Arxys handles support directly; there is no third-party depot or escalation chain involved.
A VMS-branded server — like the Milestone Husky IVO or Avigilon NVR6 — is a Dell server configured and sold by the VMS vendor, typically at a significant premium over the underlying hardware cost. A purpose-built NVR server like Arxys VideoX is designed specifically for video surveillance workloads from the ground up, using components selected for camera channel throughput, storage density, and H.265 decode performance rather than general IT use cases. The result is generally more performance per dollar, with faster delivery because the supply chain is not dependent on a single OEM relationship.
