administrators can use the XProtect Download Manager to control what clients and language versions
should be available to users on the welcome page of the XProtect Download Manager.
Install the XProtect Smart Client
The XProtect Smart Client must be installed on your computer before you can use it. Typically, you
download the XProtect Smart Client from the surveillance system server, then install it on your
computer. Alternatively, you may install the XProtect Smart Client from a DVD.
Install from the surveillance server
1. Verify that your computer meets the XProtect Smart Client's minimum system requirements.
2. Open an Internet Explorer browser (version 6.0 or later) and connect to the surveillance
system server using the URL or IP address specified by your system administrator.
3. On the Welcome page, click Language and select the language you want to use.
Tip: You can change the language in the Options menu of the XProtect Smart Client. Under
XProtect Smart Client Installers, click the relevant XProtect Smart Client link to start the
installer.
4. 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).
5. 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.
Install from a DVD
1. Verify that your computer meets the XProtect Smart Client's minimum system requirements.
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.
Install silently
Surveillance system administrators can deploy XProtect Smart Client to users’ computers using tools
such as Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS). Such tools let administrators build up
databases of hardware and software on local networks. You can then use the databases for
distributing and installing software applications, such as XProtect Smart Client, over local networks.
