Install XProtect Smart Client
You must install XProtect Smart Client on your computer before you can use it. You download
XProtect Smart Client from the surveillance system server and install it on your computer or install
directly from a DVD.
Install from the management server
Before you begin, verify that your computer meets the XProtect Smart Client's minimum system
requirements.
1. Open an Internet Explorer browser (version 6.0 or later) and connect to the management
server using the URL or IP address of that server.
2. On the Welcome page, click Language and select the language you want to use.
3. The XProtect Smart Client setup wizard starts. In the wizard, follow the installation
instructions.
The wizard suggests an installation path. Normally, you can use the suggested installation path.
However, if you have previously used add-on products, such as XProtect LPR, this path might not be
valid anymore (see "MIP Plug-ins" on page 16).
Install from a DVD
1. Verify that your computer meets the XProtect Smart Client's minimum system requirements
(see "Minimum system requirements" on page 24).
2. Insert the surveillance system software DVD, select the required language, and then click
Install XProtect Smart Client.
3. If you receive a security warning (Do you want to run or save this file?, Do you want to run
this software? or similar), accept this (by clicking Run or similar —the exact name depends on
your browser version).
4. The XProtect Smart Client installation wizard starts. In the wizard, follow the installation
instructions.
MIP Plug-ins
Your XProtect Smart Client may contain a MIP Plug-ins pane. The pane is used for handling plug-in
functionality, typically for third-party applications, which can be controlled through the XProtect Smart
Client.
On some surveillance systems, you can add more types of content to views in your XProtect Smart
Client. This may be the case if your organization uses add-on products for increasing the capabilities
of its surveillance system.
