XProtect Enterprise System Overview

XProtect Enterprise uses a distributed server architecture that lets you place recording servers in the networks where the cameras are actually connected. This optimizes bandwidth usage. There are no limits to how many slave recording servers can be connected to an installation.

System Overview

Recording Server The recording server is the core of the XProtect Enterprise system. It has several functions:

  • Connection to each IP camera and IP video encoder
  • Recording of video and audio
  • Receive events and activate pre-defined alerts and actions
  • Host and control access from XProtect clients
  • Logging of activity
Management Application Provides a consolidated management interface for the XProtect Enterprise Recording Server:

  • Management of server, users and devices
  • System configuration wizards
  • Automated device discovery
  • Smart bulk configuration function
  • Automatic system restore points
Viewer The viewer enables the operator/administrator to do basic viewing and browsing of video data. The viewer is directly attached to the recording server.
XProtect Smart Client This advanced and full-featured remote client provides operators with all daily functions like simultaneous live view and playback from 100 cameras, intelligent Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) functions, advanced search functions and export of evidence material.
Remote Client The Remote Client offers live view and playback of up to 16 cameras from the same or multiple recording servers. Operators are able to perform most daily operations.
PDA Client Basic view and playback on a PDA device from the same or multiple servers. In live mode the operator can Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) and control input/output devices (i.e. open gate, turn on lights, etc.) In browse mode, the operator can search recordings based on time/date and motion detection.
Matrix The Matrix lets operators send live video from up to 4 cameras to PCs with the XProtect Smart Client installed.
