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 generic video analytics. 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.
