As part of the installation wizard, you must decide which installation method to use. You should base your selection on your organization's needs, but it is very likely that you already decided on the method when you purchased the system.

Single Computer |
Installs all management server components, recording server, Milestone Mobile server, and XProtect Smart Client, as well as the SQL server on the current computer. The single computer installation installs and configures your system. The recording server is authorized, so you are ready to use the system directly after installation. Depending on your hardware and configuration, the recording server scans your network for hardware, adding up to 64 pieces of hardware automatically, which are then added to your system. Cameras are preconfigured in views, and a default Operator role is created. After installation, open XProtect Smart Client and you are ready to use the system. |
Distributed |
Installs only the management server components on the current computer. This means that the recording server and XProtect Smart Client are not visible in the component list. You cannot edit anything in the component list. You must install the recording server, Milestone Mobile server, and XProtect Smart Client on other computers afterwards. |
Custom |
The management server is always selected in the system component list and is always installed, but you can select freely what to install on the current computer, such as the other management server components, the recording server and XProtect Smart Client. By default, the recording server is cleared in the component list, but you can change this. Depending on your selections, you must install the cleared components on other computers afterwards. |
