Milestone XProtect Central 3.7; User’s Manual
In the example, the map hierarchy indicator is red, indicating operational errors on underlying
maps. It furthermore has an envelope icon, indicating that in-progress alarms are present on
underlying maps.
Server, Camera & Device Indicators
Most maps display indicators representing servers, cameras, and other devices (for example
input/output devices or entities capable of generating system events, such as Milestone XProtect
Enterprise or XProtect Professional event buttons). Such indicators on maps allow you to quickly
pair alarms with exact physical locations.
Indicators will change color according to the operational state of servers, cameras, or devices they
represent. Indicators will also show if new alarms are present for a server, camera, or device.
Depending on configuration, indicators may be animated (blinking). The illustration to the
right shows an example of indicator showing the state of a camera: the camera’s
operational status is OK (green square), but alarms require attention (red envelope icon).
By right-clicking a server, camera, or device indicator you get access
to a menu with a range of commands relevant to the selected server
or device:
For a complete overview of map hierarchy, server, camera, and device
indicators, including their colors and alarm indications, see Map
Indicator Overview in the following. For an overview of menu
commands, see Map Indicator Menus on page 34.
Map Indicator Overview
Depending on configuration, maps in the Client’s Map section often display indicators representing
servers, cameras, and other devices (for example input/output devices or entities capable of
generating system events, such as Milestone XProtect Enterprise or XProtect Professional event
buttons), their operational status, and whether any alarms require attention.
The following list provides an overview of indicators and their meanings. Note that depending on
your organization’s configuration indicators may be animated (blinking).
When viewing the list, note that New alarms are alarms in the New state; in-progress alarms
are alarms in the Open, Assigned, In Progress, Wait, or On Hold states. When an indicator signifies
no alarms, no new or in-progress alarms exist, but closed alarms (i.e. alarms in the Closed, Auto-
Closed, Reject, Ignore, and Resolved states) may exist.
Map Hierarchy Indicators
No operational errors and no alarms on underlying map (map icon on green square)
No operational errors, but in-progress alarms, on underlying map (map icon on green
square with yellow envelope icon)
No operational errors, but new alarms, on underlying map (map icon on green square
with red envelope icon; if animated indicators are used, envelope will be blinking
red/yellow)
