Plugin Required
In order to use the Smart Clients with your analytics solution, a plugin must be installed for each
Smart Client you intend to use.
The Smart Client should be installed first, then the plugin. If in doubt about how to install a Smart
Client, refer to the Smart Client User’s Manual, available from www.milestonesys.com.
When ready to install the plugin, do the following on each computer on which you require the
Smart Client to work with your analytics solution:
1. Open an Internet Explorer browser (version 6.0 or later), and connect to the URL or IP
address specified by your system administrator in order to connect to the surveillance
system server. When you connect to the surveillance system server, you will see a
welcome page.
2. Different versions of the welcome page exist. On some versions, you will immediately see a
list of available plugins. On other versions you must click a Download and install plugins
link before you can see a list of available plugins.
3. Download the required version of the Analytics Alert Plugin.
Example only; note that different
versions of the welcome page exist
4. Depending on your security settings, you may receive one or more security warnings (Do
you want to run or save this file?, Do you want to run this software? or similar; exact
wording depends on your browser version). When this is the case, accept the security
warnings (by clicking Run or similar; exact button names also depend on your browser
version).
5. After a short while the Milestone XProtect Smart Client Plug-in for Analytics Setup Wizard
opens. Click Next.
6. Select required installation folder (a default installation folder is automatically suggested).
Also select whether just yourself or anyone using the computer should be able to access
the plugin (if in doubt, select Everyone). Then click Next twice.
7. Read and accept the license agreement, then click Next to begin the actual installation.
8. When installation is complete, click the Close button. You are now able to view analytics
data together with video recordings in your Smart Client
