XProtect Smart Client (explained)

XProtect Smart Client is a desktop application designed to help you manage your IP surveillance cameras. It provides intuitive control over security installations by giving users access to live and recorded video, instant control of cameras and connected security devices, and the ability to make advanced searches for recordings and metadata.

Available in multiple local languages, XProtect Smart Client has an adaptable user interface that can be optimized for individual operators’ tasks and adjusted according to specific skills and authority levels.

The interface allows you to tailor your viewing experience to specific working environments by selecting a light or dark theme. It also features work-optimized tabs and a main timeline for easy surveillance operation.

Using the MIP SDK, users can integrate various types of security and business systems, and video analytics applications, which you manage through XProtect Smart Client.

XProtect Smart Client must be installed on operators' computers. Surveillance system administrators manage access to the surveillance system through the Management Client. Recordings viewed by clients are provided by your XProtect system's Image Server service. The service runs in the background on the surveillance system server. Separate hardware is not required.
