Configure scheduling
Set up when do you want to archive and if you want cameras to transfer video to your
system at all times, and other cameras to transfer video only within specific periods of time
as well as when specific events occur. Also specify when you want to receive notifications
from the system. See Configure general scheduling and archiving (on page 131) and
Configure camera-specific schedules (on page 66).
Configure clients' access to your system
Configure clients' access to your system
A number of different client applications are included with your system. Specify whether you
want clients to access the system server from the Internet, how many clients you want to be
able to connect simultaneously and more. See Configure server access (on page 159).
Configure master/slave servers
This step is only required if you want to run several servers together.
A master/slave setup allows you to combine several servers and, thereby, extend the
number of cameras you can use beyond the maximum allowed number of cameras for a
single server.
In such a setup, clients still have a single point of contact: they connect to the master server
but also get access, transparently, to cameras and recordings on the slave servers. See
Configure master and slave servers.
Configure users
Specify who should access your system and how. Set a password protection for the
Management Application if needed. Decide who should have client access which rights they
should have. See Configure User Access wizard (see "Manage user access wizard" on
page 55), Add basic users (on page 164), Add user groups (on page 165) and Configure
user and group rights (on page 166).
Configure XProtect Download Manager
Manage which features users see on a targeted welcome page when they connect to the
Milestone Husky product server. The features can include access to client applications,
additional client language versions, plug-ins and more. See Use XProtectDownload
Manager.
XProtect Download Manager comes with a default configuration that ensures that users get
access to XProtect Smart Client in the same language as your Milestone Husky product
server.
The above list represents the configuration steps that most administrators are likely to cover. You can,
of course, do more configuration, for example if your organization wants to use the Matrix (see "About
Matrix video sharing" on page 136) video-sharing feature or similar.
Note that you can customize (see "User Interface" on page 36) the behavior of the Management
Application. Descriptions here are, however, always based on the Management Application's default
behavior.
