Map Indicator Menus
By right-clicking a server or device indicator in the Client’s Map section, you get access to a menu
with a range of commands relevant to the selected server or device:
Menu content may vary depending on whether the selected indicator
represents a server, a camera, or another device. Each of the menu’s
possible commands are described in the following:
• Open Latest Alarm: Displays details about the latest alarm
on the selected device in the Alarm Detail window (see page
23).
• Open Live Window: Displays live video from the selected camera in the Video Viewer
window (see page 27).
• Activate Video on...: Lets you send live video from the selected camera to a Matrix
recipient (a computer capable of viewing Milestone XProtect Matrix-triggered live video;
this is possible on computers with either the Milestone XProtect Matrix Monitor or the
Milestone XProtect Smart Client installed).
This feature is ideal for quickly sharing important video with others, for example by sending
video to a large wall monitor or similar. Use of this feature requires that your Milestone
XProtect Central system administrator has configured one or more so-called video
destinations; ask your administrator if in doubt.
• Set Operational Status: Displays a submenu from which you are able to select the
following:
o
Acknowledge: Lets you acknowledge that you are aware of the operational status
of a server or device. This feature is typically used if a server, camera or other
device indicator signifies an operational error that you are already perfectly aware
of, for example if a camera has deliberately been taken down for maintenance.
When you acknowledge an operational error this way, the indicator will turn yellow,
indicating that operational status information is snoozed for the time being. When
the server or device returns to normal operation, the indicator will automatically
turn green. See Map Indicator Overview on page 34 for further information about
the colors and symbols used in map indicators.
o
Snooze...: Opens the Snooze window, in which you are able to define a period of
time for which to snooze (i.e. pause) the display of operational status information
from the selected server, camera, or other device (see also page 30).
When you snooze operational status information, the indicator will turn yellow in
order to indicate that operational status information is snoozed for the time being.
When the selected time span ends, the indicator will automatically turn to the color
(green or red) reflecting the operational status of the selected server, camera or
other device. See Map Indicator Overview on page 34 for further information about
the colors used in indicators.
Tip: The exact time at which snoozing will end will be displayed in the Client’s
Information section: For a server, the information will appear on the Server tab
(see page 41). For a camera or other device, the information will appear on the
Device tab (see page 42).
o
Snooze end: Lets you manually end a previously defined snooze period. Example:
If you have previously defined that operational status information for a server
should be snoozed for a period of one month, but you later find that you require
