About Mobile server
A Mobile server handles log-ins to the system from Milestone Mobile client from a mobile device or
XProtect Web Client.
Upon correct login, the Mobile server distributes video streams from relevant recording servers to
Milestone Mobile client. This offers an extremely secure setup, where recording servers are never
connected to the Internet. When a Mobile server receives video streams from recording servers, it also
handles the complex conversion of codecs and formats allowing streaming of video on the mobile
device.
You must install the Mobile server on any computer from which you want to access recording servers.
Before you begin the installation of the Mobile server, make sure you are logged in with an account
that has administrator rights. Installation cannot be successful if you use a standard user account.
