Users’ Access
Getting a Smart Client
A Smart Client for viewing live and recorded video is automatically installed on the XProtect Basis+
server. If you require more Smart Clients, for yourself or for your organization’s users, you can
easily download and install them from the XProtect Basis+ server:
Open an Internet Explorer browser (version 6.0 or
later), and connect to the IP address of the XProtect
Basis+ server with the port number specified in the
Image Server Administrator window.
Example: If the server’s IP address is
123.123.123.123 and you use the Image Server’s
default port number 80, connect to
http://123.123.123.123:80.
When you connect to the server, you will see a
welcome page. On the welcome page, simply click
the required link to get your client.
Note that with XProtect Basis+, only one client at a
time is able to connect to the XProtect Basis+ server
(in this context, the Smart Client automatically
installed for local viewing on the XProtect Basis+
server itself does not count).
Example from a Smart Client. Note that a
trial version of Milestone XProtect Basis+
allows viewing of video from a maximum
of four cameras.
Alternative User Access Methods
In this chapter, we have focused on access through the Smart Client. If you want to try out the
somewhat less feature-rich Remote Client, your Image Server configuration will work with Remote
Clients as well. The only difference is that the Remote Client is run straight from the server,
without any need for installation.
For more information about the Remote Client alternative, refer to XProtect Basis+’s built-in help
system or the manuals available on www.milestonesys.com.
