| Devices | - Support for IP-enabled devices with video, input and output, or a combination of these
- Automatic scanning of IP network ranges for new devices and automatic model detection
- Assisted discovery of single devices with automatic or manual model detection
- Enable and disable devices – very useful if they are down for maintenance
- Add a device or a group of devices to a storage area and set individual storage limitations by time or disk space
- Apply a video archiving scheme per camera level to save data on a remote or less expensive disk system
- Adjust brightness, color level, compression, maximum bit rate, resolution and rotation per camera or camera group. Set frames per second for streamed JPEG and MPEG-4 and bit rate mode, and priority for MPEG-4 cameras
- Optional preview window for immediate verification of video settings per camera or for a group of cameras
- Assign camera shortcut number for easy operation by clients
- Use PTZ (Pan-Zoom-Tilt) preset positions from cameras or defined multiple custom preset positions on the server
- Define multiple PTZ patrolling schemes with adjustable wait time between shifts and customizable transitions with disabling of motion detection to avoid false alarms
- Run multiple patrolling schedules per camera per day. For example, different for day/night/weekend
- PTZ scanning on supported devices. View or record while moving slowly from one position to another
- Configure device events like motion detection with pre- and post-buffers, or input signal behavior options
- Fine-tune motion detection sensitivity per camera and exclude multiple zones for areas of no interest to avoid false alarms

| Rules & Alerts | - Powerful Microsoft Outlook®-style rule system supports multiple rules per device
- Rule actions are triggered by event or time interval and optionally stopped by event or after a certain time
- Trigger events:
- Plug-ins: Motion started, motion stopped
- Hardware configurable: Input activated, input changed, input deactivated, motion started event, motion stopped event
- Built-in: communication error, communication started, communication stopped, feed overflow started, feed overflow stopped, live client feed requested, live client feed terminated, output activated, output changed, output deactivated, PTZ manual session started, PTZ manual session stopped, recording started, recording stopped, settings changed, settings changed error
- Recording server: database disk full, database repair
- User-defined events: Allow clients and third-party systems to trigger a rule. - Option to select/clear user-defined events in roles for which the property "Status API" is enabled
- Set active rule time intervals to 'inside time profile', 'outside time profile', 'within specific time period', 'selected days of the week' or 'always'. Outside its time interval a rule is not engaged
- Start actions: 'Start recording', 'set live view/recording frame rate', 'start/pause PTZ patrolling', 'go-to PTZ position', 'activate/deactivate output', 'send notification to profile', 'make log entry', 'generate alert', 'start/stop plug-in', 'start feed on device', 'apply new settings', enable/disable device' and 'send to Matrix'
- Stop actions: 'Stop recording', 'restore live/recording frame rate', 'resume/stop PTZ patrolling', 'go to PTZ position', 'activate/deactivate output', 'send notification to profile', 'make log entry', 'generate alert', 'start/stop plug-in', 'stop feed on device', 'apply new settings', 'enable/disable device' and 'send to Matrix'
- Set up rules for sending Matrix remote commands to display live video remotely on computers running the Matrix Monitor or the Smart Client with Matrix plug-in
- Time profiles enable different system behavior during, for example, non-working hours, weekends and holidays, and are created as single time or recurring daily, weekly, monthly or yearly with optional end – by date or after a fixed number of occurrences
- Multi-recipient customizable e-mail notification attaching up to 5 JPEG images and/or AVI files of incidents, in combination with time profiles in rules allows security staff to be aligned with their on-duty schedules
- Define custom alerts for use with third-party systems
- Rules can be triggered by new device events for audio failing, audio passing, audio rising, images received, tampering, temperature and video lost for selected devices

| Security | - Authenticate remote access to recording servers based on Microsoft active directory or local Windows user accounts
- Authenticate remote access to XProtect Enterprise 6.x Master and Slave servers based on Microsoft active directory or basic user accounts
- Authorize remote access privileges per Microsoft active directory or local Windows user account/group
- Authorization roles control user access to:
- Device: visibility of devices, live view, playback, AVI export, JPEG export, database export, sequences, smart search, input status, output control.
- PTZ: PTZ control, PTZ priority, PTZ preset control
- Application: manager, Smart Client live view/playback/setup, external, status API
- View groups: visibility of view groups, read-only option
- Servers: Basic or Windows authentication details
- Matrix: visibility of Matrix clients - Time-limited token system with auto-refresh grants access for clients to recording servers and devices
