XProtect Web Client
About XProtect Web Client
XProtect Web Client is a web-based client application for viewing, playing back and sharing video. It
provides instant access to the most commonly used surveillance functions, such as viewing live video,
play back recorded video, print and export evidence. Access to features depends on individual user
rights which are set up in the Management Application.
To enable access to the XProtect Web Client, you must install a Mobile server (see "About Mobile
server" on page 171) to establish the connection between the XProtect Web Client and Milestone
Husky product. The XProtect Web Client itself does not require any installation itself and works with
most Internet browsers. Once the Mobile server is set up, you can monitor your XProtect system
anywhere from any computer or tablet with Internet access (provided you know the right
external/Internet address, user name and password).
Access XProtect Web Client
If you have a Milestone Mobile server (see "About Mobile server" on page 171) installed on your
computer, you can use the XProtect
®
Web Client to access your cameras and views. Since you do not
need to install XProtect Web Client, you can access it from the local computer on which you installed
the Milestone Mobile server or any other computer you want to use for this purpose.
To access the XProtect Web Client:
1. Set up the Milestone Mobile server in the Management Application.
2. Open an Internet browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari) or click
Open XProtect Web Client in the Mobile Server Manager (see "About Mobile Server
Manager" on page 176).
3. Type in the IP address (that is, the external address and port of the server on which the
Milestone Mobile server is running.
