We are introducing a new type of guide to our XProtect Smart Client users. A print-and-pin poster is a one-page poster designed for print that includes an infographic and a short step-by-step description. All print-and-pin posters include a QR code that enables you to watch a related eLearning video. Print-and-pin posters are available for viewing and searching for videos. In addition, we have created a series of export print-and-pin posters that show how to export in different scenarios and all export formats.

The presentation of the user assistance has been restructured to better address the different roles and tasks that XProtect Smart Client users have. The restructuring continues for the next several releases. For this release, the sections Viewing video and working with views and Creating views have been expanded and focus on describing all the benefits and ways of solving tasks related to these goals.

Smart maps are now available in all versions of XProtect VMS . You can only use Google Maps, Bing Maps, and CAD file overlays in some versions.

The Map Migration Tool has been added to help the process of switching from the traditional maps functionality to smart maps. Use this tool for guided assistance to add overlays and devices.

When you search for people in XProtect Smart Client, you can now search for, for example, the color of people's hair and clothes, the type of pattern on their clothes, types of facial hair, and more. When you search for vehicles, there have also been some updates to give you more search options, such as, type of vehicle.

The way you select to show or hide access request notifications has been updated.

Previously, when you installed XProtect Smart Client, the user assistance was also installed and available after running the installer. With this update, the user assistance is no longer part of the software installation, but you can install the user assistance separately.

When you export video sequences in media player format, you can now export the video sequences as an individual file (containing a single video sequence) or as a combined file (containing multiple, combined video sequences.)
