Server-Side Installation
Important Prerequisites
XProtect Analytics works in tight integration with Microsoft Windows components as well as a range
of different Milestone products.
For your analytics solution to be able to work properly, you should therefore verify that the
following important components are in place on your system before you install XProtect Analytics:
Milestone Surveillance System
XProtect Analytics works with XProtect Professional, XProtect Enterprise and XProtect Corporate
surveillance systems. The surveillance systems provide your analytics solution with live video and
recordings from cameras on your network.
If Using XProtect Professional or XProtect Enterprise
If using XProtect Enterprise, version 6.5c or later is required for integration with XProtect Analytics.
If using XProtect Professional, version 6.5a or later is required for integration with XProtect
Analytics.
If you require information about how to install XProtect Professional or XProtect Enterprise, refer to
the Administrator’s Manuals available on the surveillance system software DVDs as well as from
www.milestonesys.com.
When XProtect Professional or XProtect Enterprise is installed, do the following:
 Add the cameras you require for your analytics solution: If you have not already
added the cameras you are going to use with your analytics solution to your surveillance
system, do so on the XProtect Enterprise or XProtect Professional system before you begin
configuring XProtect Analytics.
 Adjust camera configuration for license plate recognition: Once the cameras are
added, adjust each required camera's settings on the on the XProtect Enterprise or
XProtect Professional system so the settings will match the requirements for license plate
recognition: Specify a frame rate of 6 frames per second, and specify a low compression
and—if possible—a low sharpness value for the cameras you want to use for license plate
recognition.
 User with full access: Technically, the analytics solution will log in to your XProtect
Enterprise or XProtect Professional system with a user account set up through the system's
Management application (in version 7.0 or later) or Image Server Administrator (in
versions earlier than 7.0). For this purpose, the user must have full access rights to all
cameras used in connection with the analytics solution.
If Using XProtect Corporate
If using XProtect Corporate, version 2.0b or later is required for integration with XProtect Analytics.
If you require information about how to install XProtect Corporate, refer to the Administrator's
Manual available on the XProtect Corporate software DVD as well as from www.milestonesys.com.
