Milestone XProtect Basis+ 6.5; Administrator’s Manual
Viewer
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 can be accessed in two ways:
• If you work on the surveillance system server: On the surveillance system server, the
Viewer is automatically installed as part of the XProtect Basis+ installation. You access the
Viewer from Windows’ Start menu: Select Start > All Programs > Milestone XProtect
Basis+ > Viewer.
• By people who have received video evidence material from your surveillance
system: This type of users are typically police officers, internal or external investigators,
or similar. When Smart Client (see page 140) 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.
The Viewer: In this example, the Viewer displays video
from a single camera; the Viewer can display video from
several cameras simultaneously. Note that content of
the Viewer’s toolbar may vary depending on configuration.
Where can I find more information about the Viewer? The Viewer has its own built-in
help system. Alternatively, refer to the Viewer User’s Manual, available on the XProtect Basis+
software DVD as well as from www.milestonesys.com.
