Add overlay command buttons for access control

In XProtect Smart Client, you can customize your interface using overlay buttons.

You can add overlay command buttons for access control to a view item by selecting from a list of commands configured for the doors or access points. Overlay buttons are displayed when you drag the mouse over the view item.

1. In live mode, select Setup and select the view item you want to modify.
2. In the Overlay buttons pane, click Access control.
3. Locate the command you want to add and drag it to your view item.
4. Click Setup to return to watching live video.

If you upgrade your XProtect VMS to 2024 R2 or later, you might need to manually add overlay buttons for access control to your views in XProtect Smart Client.

Examples of how to use overlay buttons

• Have direct access to command buttons in view items other than access monitors.
• Place the command buttons directly by a door in the view item.
• Add other command buttons than the command buttons specified in Access monitor settings
