Configuring the Milestone ONVIF Bridge

After you install the Milestone ONVIF Bridge, the ONVIF Bridge service is running and the ONVIF Bridge Manager tray icon turns green. The next steps are to:

• Add the ONVIF Bridge plug-in to the Management Application
• Enable ONVIF clients to access your XProtect system

Add Milestone ONVIF Bridge to the Management Application

1. Open the Management Application.
2. Expand Servers, right-click ONVIF Bridge, and select Add New.
3. Enter a name for Milestone ONVIF Bridge, and then click OK.

Configure user settings for an ONVIF client

Before you can complete these steps, you must have already created a basic user in Management Application, or a Windows user for the ONVIF client. The user must be assigned to a role that has permission to view cameras and access the Milestone ONVIF Bridge. For more information, see Setting up Milestone ONVIF Bridge security controls. For information about how to set up a basic user in Management Application, see the Help for those programs.

To provide an ONVIF client access to your XProtect VMS, follow these steps:

1. Open the Management Application.
2. Expand Servers, select ONVIF Bridge, and then select the bridge you just added.
3. On the User settings tab, enter the domain user name (domain/user) and the password of the dedicated user created for the ONVIF client.
4. Click the Add user button.

The name of the ONVIF client user appears in the list of ONVIF user credentials.
