Matrix recipients (properties)

Available functionality depends on the system you are using. See the Product comparison chart for more information.

Use the Matrix Recipients tab to enable Matrix functionality and to define which computers to display Matrix-triggered live video. A computer on which Matrix-triggered video can be displayed is known as a Matrix-recipient. Being able to view Matrix-triggered video requires that you have installed XProtect Smart Client on the user's computer.

Enable Matrix

Select the check box to enable Matrix functionality.
