Milestone Smart Client 3.6 - Manual (Page 56)

Milestone XProtect Smart Client 3.6; User’s Manual
Each bar will display Live when live images are displayed, REC if video from the camera in question
is being recorded, and Stopped if the camera is stopped and live viewing is not possible. A camera
may be stopped for various reasons: Typically it is because the camera has been configured to only
be available during certain hours of the day; other reasons may be camera or network
maintenance, a change in configuration on the surveillance system server or similar. If all cameras
display Stopped, it may indicate that the connection to the surveillance system server is lost.
Consult your surveillance system administrator if in doubt.
The bar is dark blue. When you select a particular camera in the view, the bar of the selected
camera position becomes a lighter blue.
Dark blue: camera is not selected Light blue: camera selected
Colored Indicators
Each bar features three colored indicators:
• Event indicator (the leftmost of the three indicators, solid yellow ): Lights up when
specific events, defined by the surveillance system administrator, occur. Click anywhere
inside the image to reset the event indicator. This indicator may appear black if event
indication has not been specified for the camera in question, of if no specified events have
occurred. Consult your surveillance system administrator if in doubt.
Note: This feature is only available if using your Smart Client with certain Milestone
surveillance systems; see Surveillance System Differences on page 100 for more
information. Even when using your Smart Client with a surveillance system supporting this
feature, being able to use the feature requires that notifications on events have been
configured on the surveillance system server. Consult your surveillance system
administrator if in doubt.
• Motion indicator (the indicator in the middle, solid red ): Lights up when motion is
detected in the image. Click anywhere inside the image to reset the motion indicator. This
indicator may appear black if no motion has been detected.
• Online indicator (the rightmost of the three indicators, blinking green ): Changes state
every time a new image is received from the camera.
Tip: If configured (as part of individual cameras’ properties on the Smart Client’s Setup tab),
event ( ) and motion ( ) indications can be accompanied by sound notifications. See Sound on
Motion Detection (page 40) and Sound on Event (page 39) for more information.
Hotspot Positions
If a view contains a hotspot, you are able to select a camera in the view itself, or any other view
you may have open, and view enlarged and/or higher quality images from the selected camera in
the hotspot.
When a view contains a hotspot, the hotspot is usually, but not
always, located in one of the view’s larger positions, for
example the large position in a 1+7 view:
If a position in one of your views contains a hotspot, you will
be able to recognize it by the following characteristics:
• When you select camera positions in the view, your
selection is reflected in the hotspot
