Multiple windows

This feature is only available for selected surveillance systems. For a detailed outline of the features available on your particular system, see the XProtect Product Comparison Chart on: http://www.milestonesys.com.

You can send individual views to separate windows or displays, while keeping the main window of the XProtect Smart Client in the background, so you can watch several views simultaneously. The selected camera or item is always displayed with a blue border.

You can send any view to:

The primary and secondary display show the window in full screen with the tabs and controls hidden. To display the tabs and controls, click the Toggle full screen mode icon: MaximizeButton.

The floating window shows the selected view, with the Live and Playback tabs. You can select a new view from the toolbar by clicking the dropdown button. You can toggle between displaying the floating window as a full-screen with no tabs and as a smaller floating window with tabs by clicking the Toggle full screen mode icon: MaximizeButton. You can also choose to link the floating window to the main window to synchronize time or to follow the Live or Playback tab.

Your view setup is stored in the XProtect Smart Client, so next time you log in, you can reuse it. However, this only applies to the computer on which you set it up. If you want to use multiple windows with the XProtect Smart Client on more than one computer, you must configure your multiple window setup on each computer.
