Product overview
The XProtect VMS products are video management software designed for installations of all shapes and sizes. Whether you want to protect your store from vandalism or you want to manage a multi-site, high security installation, XProtect makes it possible. The solutions offer centralized management of all devices, servers, and users, and provide an extremely flexible rule system driven by schedules and events.
Your system consists of the following main components:
- The management server - the center of your installation, consists of multiple servers
- One or more recording servers
- One or more installations of XProtect Management Client
- XProtect Download Manager
- One or more installations of XProtect® Smart Client
- One or more uses of XProtect Web Client and/or installations of XProtect Mobile client if needed
Your system also includes fully integrated Matrix functionality for distributed viewing of video from any camera on your surveillance system to any computer with XProtect Smart Client installed.
You can install your system on virtualized servers or on multiple physical servers in a distributed setup. See also A distributed system setup.
The system also offers the possibility of including the standalone XProtect® Smart Client – Player when you export video evidence from the XProtect Smart Client. XProtect Smart Client – Player allows recipients of video evidence (such as police officers, internal or external investigators and more) to browse and play back the exported recordings without having to install any software on their computers.
With the most feature-rich products installed (see Product comparison), your system can handle an unrestricted number of cameras, servers, and users and across multiple sites if required. Your system can handle IPv4 as well as IPv6.
