Alert Plugin for Smart Client installed. This plugin enables the Smart Client to display analytics
data received through the surveillance system's XProtect Transact add-on component.
Smart Client users download and install the plugin from the surveillance system server. The Smart
Client should be installed first, then the plugin. For more information about the Analytics Alert
Plugin, see the document XProtect Analytics User’s Manual on the surveillance system software
DVDs and also available from www.milestonesys.com.
Dacolian Intrada ALPR
To run XProtect Analytics for Dacolian license plate recognition, a Dacolian Intrada ® ALPR
installation is required. Dacolian Intrada ALPR is included, and automatically installed, with the
XProtect Analytics plugin for Dacolian LPR.
Third-party video content analysis tools, such as the one mentioned above, are developed by
independent partners delivering solutions based on the Milestone open platform. These solutions
can impact performance on the Milestone surveillance system.
Installation Procedure
Before installing the XProtect Analytics software, make sure you understand the system
requirements and prerequisites (see the previous sections).
Installing XProtect Analytics involves three tasks:
 First you install the XProtect Analytics software itself.
 Then you install the required XProtect Analytics plugin. This plugin gives your analytics
solution the required functionality, in your case license plate recognition (LPR). Technically,
the plugin installs as a service, but it also gives you access to the XProtect Analytics
Administrator application through which you manage your analytics solution.
 Finally, you install the alert plugin server-side installer. Once installed, this will allow Smart
Client users to connect to the surveillance system server and download the plugin required
to view analytics data in the Smart Client.
Installing the XProtect Analytics Software
To install the Milestone XProtect Analytics Software, do the following:
1. Insert the XProtect Analytics software DVD, and click Install XProtect Analytics Server.
Alternatively, if you downloaded XProtect Analytics from the internet, locate and double-
click the file Analytics.Installer.en-US.msi.
After a short while the XProtect Analytics setup wizard opens. Click Next to begin the
installation process.
2. On the wizard’s second page, read and accept the license agreement. Then click Next.
3. On the next wizard page, select Install licensed version and specify your user name,
organization and Software License Code (SLC). The SLC (example: AB1-2345-CD67) gives
you the right to install and use a full version of the software. You will have received the
SLC from your Milestone vendor, typically in an e-mail. Should you not have received the
SLC, contact your Milestone vendor.
If you are a Milestone vendor, and want information
about how to retrieve SLCs for your customers, see the XProtect Analytics Getting Started
