About Video push
Video push is feature in your Milestone Mobile client that allows you to use your mobile device's
camera to, for example, collect evidence when you investigate an alarm or event. You do this by
sending a video stream from your mobile device to your system. In the Mobile server settings, you can
set up how many users should be able to use the Video push feature in the system.
About saving configuration changes in XProtect Enterprise 8.1 and
streamlined software versions
The following applies to XProtect Enterprise 8.1, XProtect Professional 8.1, XProtect Express 1.1,
XProtect Essential 2.1 and XProtect Go 2.1 software versions only.
If you are logged into the Milestone Mobile client and are watching one or more cameras views while
at the same time changing configuration in the Management Application, the live video from the
camera may freeze in the Milestone Mobile client if you click File > Save in the Management
Application.
To avoid this scenario, you must restart the Milestone Mobile service manually. See the Windows Help
for information about how to do this.
If you are using newer versions of XProtect, the Milestone Mobile service restarts with the other
services and no user action is required.
Add/edit a Mobile server
1. Go to Servers > Mobile Servers. From the menu that appears, select Create New. Fill in/edit
the needed properties.
IMPORTANT: If you edit settings for Login method, All cameras view and Outputs and events,
while you are connected to the Milestone Mobile client, you must restart the Milestone Mobile client for
the new settings to take effect.
Add a Video push channel
Each Video push channel requires a separate camera license.
To add a Video push channel (see "About Video push" on page 171), do the following:
1. On the Video Push tab, select the Video push checkbox to enable the functionality.
2. In the bottom right corner, click Add to add a video push channel to the Channels mapping.
3. Channels are mapped to devices through user names. Select a user name from a user
account already set up in your system to associate with the relevant Video push channel.
If you do not associate the Video push channel with an already created user, you cannot use
Video push in your Milestone Mobile client when you log in.
4. Add the Video push driver as a hardware device (see "Add a Video push driver as a hardware
device" on page 172) to the system. You must choose the Manual hardware device detection
method as the Video push driver does not show up in automatic hardware searches.
5. On the Video Push tab, click Find Cameras. If successful, the newly added Video push driver
appears in this list. Save your configuration to make the Video push driver ready for use.
