OnGuard Video Web Package and Milestone Open Network Bridge (explained)
Using the OnGuard Web Client running OnGuard v8.0 and up requires installation of the Milestone Open Network Bridge and the OnGuard Video Web Package. Install the OnGuard Video Web Package with Milestone ONVIF Bridge on a separate, independent server - not on the OnGuard machine, Milestone XProtect Management Server, or Milestone XProtect Recording Server.
The OnGuard Video Web Package (OVWP) is a software product that acts as a gateway that provides a link between a video web application and a recorder or video system. In this case, it provides a link to an XProtect system. The OVWP relies on the Milestone Integration Platform (MIP) SDK for all command-and-control operations initiated by the OnGuard web applications. The OVWP also relies on RTP/RTSP for retrieving media streams.
The OnGuard Video Web Package installs three services, collectively known as the LenelS2 Video Web Services (LVWS):

There is also a plugin for the XProtect Management Client.
