To download XProtect Smart Client, you must connect to the surveillance system server which
presents you with a welcome page that lists available clients and language versions. System
administrators can use XProtect Download Manager to control what clients and language versions
should be available to users on the welcome page of the XProtect Download Manager.
Install XProtect Smart Client
You must install XProtect Smart Client on your computer before you can use it. You download
XProtect Smart Client from the surveillance system server and install it on your computer or install
directly from a DVD.
Install from the management server
Before you begin, verify that your computer meets the XProtect Smart Client's minimum system
requirements.
1. Open an Internet Explorer browser (version 6.0 or later) and connect to the management
server using the URL or IP address of that server.
2. On the Welcome page, click Language and select the language you want to use.
3. The XProtect Smart Client setup wizard starts. In the wizard, follow the installation
instructions.

file in a subfolder under the folder httpdocs. The httpdocs folder is located under the folder in

Client):
