Name Description
Custom time zone
If you have selected Custom in the Time zone field, you can select
any time zone known by the computer. This is useful if two users in
different time zones need to view an incident
—having the same
time zone makes it easier to identify and establish that they are
watching the same incident.
Language options
Specify the language version of your XProtect Smart Client. Select from the list of available languages
and then restart the XProtect Smart Client for the change to take effect.
Use an HTML page for navigation
In addition to displaying video, the XProtect Smart Client is able to display static images and HTML
pages. Such HTML pages may be used for intuitively switching between different views in the XProtect
Smart Client.
For example, you may insert a clickable floor plan of a building, and you would be able to simply click
a part of the floor plan to instantly switch to a view displaying video from the required part of the
building.
In the following, you will see examples of HTML pages for XProtect Smart Client navigation: a simple
HTML page with buttons, and a more advanced HTML page with a clickable image map. For
surveillance system administrators wishing to create and distribute such HTML pages to XProtect
Smart Client users, a check list outlining the tasks involved is also provided.
Tip: The XProtect Smart Client is highly flexible when it comes to customizing navigation and other
features. For advanced users it is possible to create approximately 100
different function calls (see
" Scripting " on page 165) in the XProtect Smart Client.
Example of an HTML page with button navigation
A very quick solution is to create an HTML page with buttons for navigation. You are able to create a
wide variety of buttons on the HTML page. In this example, we will just create two types of buttons:

Buttons for switching between the XProtect Smart Client's views
Required HTML syntax:
onclick="SCS.Views.SelectView('Viewstatus.Groupname.Viewname');">
Where Viewstatus indicates whether the view is shared or private (if the HTML page is to be
distributed to several users, the view must be shared).
Example from a real button:
onclick="SCS.Views.SelectView('Shared.Group1.View2');">
This button would allow users to go to a view called View2 in a shared group called Group1.
