The Cameras bar however, contains a list of camera-groups to select from. Once a group is selected,
you can select a specific camera and see dynamic data for it.
All servers display CPU usage and available memory information. Furthermore, recording servers
also display connection status information.
Within each view, you can find a History link. Click it to view historic data and reports (to view reports
on a camera, click the name of the camera). For each historic report, you can view data for the last 24
hours, 7 days or 30 days.
If you want to save and/or print reports, click the Send to PDF icon.
Milestone Federated Architecture
If you run Milestone Federated Architecture™ (MFA) the System Monitor tab is divided into two parts.
A left pane displaying a hierarchical tree-structure representing your federated architectural setup and
on the right, a browser-based area with relevant system data for the selected MFA server.
Click any MFA server in the left-side pane to see its system data represented in the right-side area of
the System Monitor tab.
If you move away from the tab or log out of the system and come back, the System Monitor tab will
remember which server in your MFA is selected and continue to display system data from this server.
You can drag the System Monitor tab to an independent window to monitor multiple MFA servers.
Surveillance system differences
The majority of the XProtect Smart Client features are available regardless of which type of Milestone
surveillance system you connect to. However, a few features will work differently depending on the
type of surveillance system your XProtect Smart Client is connected to. If in doubt, ask your
surveillance system administrator about which type of Milestone surveillance system you connect to.
For a detailed outline of the features available on your particular system, see the XProtect Comparison
Chart on:
www.milestonesys.com .
In general, Milestone recommends that you always use the latest version of the XProtect Smart Client
to ensure that you have access to all the new features and functions included in your XProtect
surveillance system.
