There are three modes in XProtect Smart Client:

  • Live

  • Playback

  • Setup

The live and playback modes are for viewing live and recorded video. You switch between playback and live mode with the SC_TimelineControl_PLAYBACKLIVE.png switch on the main timeline.

You can create and edit private and shared views when you’re in setup mode. You can also, for example, configure PTZ preset positions, PTZ patrolling profiles, and Maps or Smart Maps.

You enter setup mode by selecting Setup on the workspace toolbar.
