Client components

XProtect Management Client

The Management Client is the administration interface for all parts of the system.

The VMS is designed for large-scale operation so the Management Client is designed to run remotely from, for example, the administrator’s computer.

You can access the settings in the Management Client from a tree structure where you can open items and sub items.

For more information, see the administrator manual for XProtect VMS.

XProtect Smart Client

XProtect Smart Client is the main client for the VMS. It is designed to run remotely from the operators’ computer for day-to-day use in order to manage IP surveillance cameras. It provides instant control of cameras and connected security devices and quick access to live and recorded video and metadata.

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.

For more information, see the user manual for XProtect Smart Client.

XProtect Web Client is a client designed for the occasional or remote user that needs easy access to live monitoring, playback and export. XProtect Web Client also provides access to activating system events and outputs.

XProtect Mobile client

The XProtect Mobile client is a mobile surveillance solution and it offers easy access to cameras, views and other functionality that is set up in the management clients.

It runs on an Android tablet or smartphone or on an Apple® tablet, smartphone or portable music player.

You can use the XProtect Mobile client as a remote recording device by using the device's built-in camera and the Milestone Video Push feature. With Video Push activated, video from the device's camera is streamed back to the VMS and recorded as if it was from a standard camera.
