In the Properties (see "Camera settings" on page 57) pane, you can specify the settings for the
carousel. The Live Stream, Image Quality, Frame Rate, and Maintain Image Aspect Ratio settings
apply to all cameras in the carousel.
Multiple windows
This feature is only available for selected surveillance systems. For a detailed outline of the features
available on your particular system, see the XProtect Comparison Chart on:
www.milestonesys.com .
You can send individual views to separate windows or displays, while keeping the main window of the
XProtect Smart Client in the background, so you can watch several views simultaneously. The
selected camera or item is always displayed with a blue border.
You can send any view to:

A primary display to show the view in a separate full-screen window on your computer's main
display with the main window hiding behind it.

A secondary display to show the view in a full-screen window on another monitor (if available).

A floating window to show the view in a small separate window. You can use any number of
floating windows and you can resize these to suit your needs.
The primary and secondary display show the window in full screen with the tabs and controls hidden.
To display the tabs and controls, click the Full screen icon:
.
The floating window shows the selected view, with the Live and Playback tabs. You can select a new
view from the toolbar by clicking the dropdown button. You can toggle between displaying the floating
window as a full-screen with no tabs and as a smaller floating window with tabs by clicking the Full
screen icon:
. You can also choose to link the floating window to the main window to synchronize
time or to follow the Live or Playback tab.
Your view setup is stored in the XProtect Smart Client, so next time you log in, you can reuse it.
However, this only applies to the computer on which you set it up. If you want to use multiple windows
with the XProtect Smart Client on more than one computer, you must configure your multiple window
setup on each computer.
