As mentioned earlier, XP rotect Screen Recorder’s recording process is controlled from the computer startup
menu and runs in the context of the logged in user. This means that the user can use the Windows Task Manager
to shut down the process. To prevent that, Windows must be configured so that the user has no access to
Windows Task Manager or other programs with similar capabilities.
Disabling XProtect Screen Recorder results in the device connecting to the XProtect Screen Recorder service
showing a red screen with a cross over it.
Tip: The TCP based protocol used between the recording server and the computer with XProtect Screen
Recorder installed, is proprietary and contains a unique token. The risk of other products intercepting a desktop is
therefore minimal, but you are none the less urged to define a password in the Milestone XProtect Screen
Recorder - Administrator
’s window.
