The Project pane
A project in the XProtect Smart Client – Player is a collection of files that are created when video is
exported in database format from the XProtect Smart Client.

Click Setup to make changes to a view or your application settings and save these to your
project.
Your user settings, including information about your views, are stored as part of a project.
Passwords
You can assign passwords to a project, for example, so only people with permission can view a video.
You can also assign passwords to devices when you export them. To avoid having to keep track of
several database passwords, you can assign a single password to the overall project. If you do not
assign an overall password and you have databases with passwords added to your project, you will be
asked to enter a password for each database when you open the project. If you assign a password to
a project, you cannot delete it. However, you can change the password or create a new identical
project in the Project pane:

Click New Project and then click Open Database to start the Open Database wizard and
add the relevant devices.
The Views pane
In the Views pane you can add, create, edit, or delete views. For more information on what you can do
with views, see Views (see "About views" on page 44).
The Overview pane
The Overview pane displays the cameras, microphones, speakers, HTML, images, and other plug-
ins, for example, XProtect Transact, that are assigned to the project.

Click Open Database , to open the Open Database wizard. You can rename and delete
devices from a project by clicking Rename or Delete .
When you delete a device, this does not delete the actual database files associated with the device, it
just removes them from the project.
Link Audio
You can link audio to a device:

Click Link Audio to Camera to have associated audio automatically selected when you
view recorded video for a particular camera.
Open Database wizard
The Open Database wizard lets you open a database from an archive or previously exported material.
You can use this wizard to open a database and add it to your project, for example, if you want to view
an archived database or previously exported material. The Open Database wizard also repairs
corrupted databases automatically. To start the Open Database wizard, on the XProtect Smart Client
toolbar, click Setup, and in the Overview pane, click Open Database:
