Investigation and documentation of incidents
XProtect Smart Client has many built-in features that facilitate the investigation and documentation of incidents. There are also XProtect extensions explicitly developed for these purposes.
The features available to you depend on the XProtect VMS product, possible extensions, and your user permissions.
Which feature is best depends on the scenario and your preferences.
XProtect Rapid REVIEW
XProtect extension that enables accelerated investigations. See XProtect Rapid REVIEW.
XProtect Incident Manager
XProtect extension developed for capturing video evidence and documenting and managing incidents. See XProtect Incident Manager.
Bookmarks, evidence locks, and searches
You can tag the video sequences showing an incident with bookmarks and evidence locks.
When you tag video with evidence locks, the tagged video sequences are not deleted after the retention time defined for all video sequences in your XProtect VMS system.
Events, alarms, and the alarms list
If you’re viewing live video, keeping an eye on new events and alarms on the alarms list is a good idea. The events and alarms could be triggered by an incident you need to investigate. If you only view recorded video, open the alarms list a couple of times every day to check if there have been incidents that you need to investigate.
Export
Save video outside the XProtect VMS system and share the exported video with others.
