Create an incident project without video

If you prefer to start an incident project without sequences from the VMS, use the following method. Maybe you don't have time to add sequences now, or perhaps there are no sequences to add from the VMS, but you still want to document and manage the sequence-less incident together with your other incident projects in XProtect Smart Client. If there are sequences, you can always add them later.

In live mode, select Show pane.

Under the MIP plug-ins pane and Incidents, select Create empty incident project.
Select the Incidents tab and double-click the incident project that you have just created to open it.

Fill in the needed data about the incident:

On the Main details tab, select a status for the management of the incident.
On the Categories tab, select and enter the different properties that the VMS administrator has defined for your organization.
On the Comments tab, enter free text information about the incident.

If possible, write your comments so that the incident project is complete even without any sequences from the VMS.

On the Sequence list tab, you can see all the sequences added to the incident project. Review if all sequences are relevant and remove those that aren't.
On the Calls tab, add information about the calls you have made or received in connection with the incident.

Select Save.

If you want to add more sequences to your incident project, see Add additional sequences to an incident project.

If you need the sequences and information in your incident project for a longer time than the retention times your administrator defined for sequences and incident projects, export your incident project and generate a report.
