Milestone XProtect Smart Client 3.6; User’s Manual
Tip: When viewing live video on the Smart Client's Live tab, you can quickly verify whether the
video stream from a camera is being recorded: Look at the blue bar immediately above the
camera's images. If the video stream from the camera is being recorded, the bar will display
REC .
Note that you may occasionally see the REC letters for short periods only. This is because cameras
may have been configured to record only when there is motion, when a door is open, or similar,
which can lead to many short periods of recordings.

Tip: If views have been assigned shortcut numbers (see Assigning Shortcut Numbers to Views
on page 26), you will also be able to select a view by using keyboard shortcuts (see Using
Standard Keyboard Shortcuts on page 97).
Camera Names and Colored Indicators
Each camera position in the
view is identified by a bar,
located in the top of each
camera position.
The bar displays the name of
the camera as well as the
name of the device to which
the camera is connected. The
device name is displayed first,
in square brackets, followed by
the camera name.
