Milestone Viewer 1.2 - Manual (Page 4)

Milestone XProtect Viewer; User’s Manual
Introduction
This document is aimed at users of the Milestone XProtect Viewer application.
The Viewer is a standalone application which lets you browse and play back video recordings. The
Viewer also lets you print still images, send still images via e-mail, and export entire video and
audio sequences in a variety of formats.
The Viewer basically has two audiences:
• People working on the Milestone XProtect surveillance system server: You access
the Viewer from Windows' Start menu: Select Start > All Programs > [type of Milestone
XProtect surveillance system > Viewer.
• People who have received video evidence material from a surveillance system:
This is typically the case if you are a police officer, and internal or external investigator, or
similar. When surveillance system operators export video evidence, they are able to include
the Viewer with the exported evidence. This is a great advantage for the recipient of the
exported evidence, since no installation is required in order to use the Viewer for browsing
exported evidence. If you receive the video evidence on—for example—a CD, the Viewer
will typically start automatically when you insert the CD on your computer.
This document provides you with descriptions of the Viewer’s features, including a number of “how-
to” examples guiding you through completing common tasks.
