About services
The following services are all automatically installed on the system server if you run a Typical
installation. By default, services run transparently in the background on the system server. If you need
to, you can start and stop services separately from the Management Application, see Start and stop
services (on page 156).
Service Description
Milestone Recording Server
service
A vital part of the surveillance system. Video streams are only
transferred to your system while the Recording Server service is
running.
Milestone Image Server
service
Provides access to the surveillance system for users who log in with
XProtect Smart Client.
Note: If the Image Server service is configured in Windows
Services to log in with another account than the Local System
account, for example as a domain user, installed instances of
XProtect Smart Client on other computers than the surveillance
server itself are not able to log in to the server using the server's
host name. Instead, those users must enter the server's IP address.
Milestone Image Import
service
Used for fetching pre- and post-alarm images, and storing the
fetched images in camera databases. Pre- and post-alarm images
is a feature available for selected cameras only that enables
sending of images from immediately before and after an event took
place from the camera to the surveillance system via e-mail. Pre-
and post-alarm images should not be confused with the system's
pre- and post-recording feature (see "Recording" on page 89).
