Private and shared views

Views can be shared or private.

  • Shared views: available to multiple users, typically created by system administrators or supervisors.

  • Private views: available only to the user who created them.

    You can create private views if you have permission to switch to setup mode. Private views are stored under the Private folder and are available for you from any computer when logged in to XProtect Smart Client.

The Views pane contains:

  • A Private folder: contains your private views, accessible from any computer when logged in. This can include an automatically generated default view with video from all your cameras.

  • Shared folders: contain view groups with shared views. Protected folders have a padlock icon and cannot be modified by regular users.
