The way video is displayed in XProtect Smart Client is called a view. A view can contain video from up to 100 cameras, depending on your surveillance system. XProtect Smart Client can handle an unrestricted number of views, allowing you to switch between video from various groups of cameras. The layout of each view can be customized to fit its content. To help you maintain an overview, all views are placed in folders called groups. A group can contain any number of views and, if required, subgroups.
Views can be private or shared with other users.
In addition to video, views can display web pages and still images (for example, mugshots). For some surveillance systems, views can even display data from other applications (such as receipts from a cash register) alongside video. For more information, see Views and view items (explained).
Your user settings, including information about your views, are stored centrally on the surveillance system server, so you can use your views, private as well as shared, on any computer that has a XProtect Smart Client installed, provided you log in with your own user name and password.
Example: XProtect Smart Client displaying a view with video from four different cameras (a 2x2 view)
