XProtect Smart Client
The XProtect Smart Client is the access client application used for viewing video from wherever you
require. The Smart Client must be installed on every computer from which you want to be able to
view video combined with analytics data. If you require information about how to install the Smart
Client, refer to the Smart Client User’s Manual on the surveillance system software DVDs and also
available from www.milestonesys.com.
For Smart Clients to be able to work with the analytics solution, each Smart Client must have the
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 XProtect Analytics software DVD
as well as from www.milestonesys.com.

DVD as well as from www.milestonesys.com.
