5. Only relevant if you have logged in before; if logging in for the first time, move to
step 6. The Smart Client will ask you if you want to keep the view(s) you last used.
Your options are:
• Main View: If the check box is selected, the
view you last used in the Smart Client’s main
window will be restored. If you clear this check
box, no view will initially be displayed, in which
case you must select the required view
yourself.
• Detached Views: Available when connecting to selected Milestone surveillance
systems only, and only if you used views in detached windows the last time you
were logged in on the computer in question (see Using Multiple Windows on page
94 for more information). If you select this check box is selected, the views you
last sent to Primary Display, secondary displays and floating windows will be
restored.
6. After a short wait, the Smart Client window will open. The Smart Client window has three
tabs: Live, Browse and Setup.
The Live tab is used for viewing live video, the
Browse tab is used for browsing recorded video,
and the Setup tab is used for configuring the
Smart Client. Depending on your user rights, you may not be able to access all three tabs.
