Milestone XProtect Remote Client 3.5; User’s Manual
If you want to create views yourself, for example if no views in shared groups are available in your
organization, the Remote Client’s Setup tab lets you create groups and views, and specify which
cameras should be included in each view.
Note: Particular user rights may be required in order to access the Setup tab. Your ability to create
groups and views also depends on your user rights. From time to time your surveillance system
administrator may make changes to camera or user properties on the surveillance system server.
When this is the case, such changes will take effect in the Remote Client the first time you log in
after the changes were made. Such changes may require you to re-create your views. Ask your
surveillance system administrator if in doubt.
Are any Views in Shared Groups Available?
Especially if you are a first-time user of the Remote Client, you will want to know whether any
views have already been created and placed in shared groups for your organization’s Remote Client
users.
Typically, your surveillance system administrator will have told you if shared groups are used in
your organization. Alternatively, to quickly determine whether any views have already been
created and placed in shared groups, do the following:
Note: This method requires that your user rights permit you to access the Remote Client’s Live tab
and/or Browse tab. Most users will have access to at least one of these tabs.
1. Go to the Remote Client’s Live or Browse tab.
2. On the Live or Browse tab, look at the Views section:
• If the Views section contains any expandable folders labeled [Shared] ..., shared
groups are available, and you may—your user rights permitting—begin using the views
in the shared groups for viewing live and recorded video. See Viewing Live Video on
page 28 and Viewing Recorded Video on page 32. Only if you want to add more views,
e.g. customize your Remote Client with views in private groups, do you need to create
further views on the Setup tab.

shared groups with views
• If the Views section contains no expandable folders at all, no views are available, and
you must create at least one view on the Setup tab before you can begin using the
Remote Client.
