Access XProtect Web Client

If you have a XProtect Mobile server installed on your computer, you can use the XProtect Web Client to access your cameras and views. Because you do not need to install XProtect Web Client, you can access it from the computer where you installed the XProtect Mobile server, or any other computer you want to use for this purpose.

1. Set up the XProtect Mobile server in the Management Application.
2. If you are using the computer where XProtect Mobile server is installed, you can right-click the Mobile Server Manager icon in the system tray, and select Open XProtect Web Client.
3. If you are not using the computer where XProtect Mobile server is installed, you can access it from a browser. Continue with step 4 in this process.
4. Open an Internet browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari).
5. Type the external IP address, that is, the external address and port of the server on which the XProtect Mobile server is running.

   Example: The XProtect Mobile server is installed on a server with the IP address 127.2.3.4 and is configured to accept HTTP connections on port 8081 and HTTPS connections on port 8082 (default settings of the installer).

   In the address bar of your browser, type: http:// 1.2.3.4:8081 if you want to use a standard HTTP connection or https:// 1.2.3.4:8082 to use a secure HTTPS connection. You can now begin using XProtect Web Client.

6. Add the address as a bookmark in your browser for easy future access to XProtect Web Client. If you use XProtect Web Client on the local computer on which you installed the XProtect Mobile server, you can also use the desktop shortcut which the installer creates. Click the shortcut to launch your default browser and open XProtect Web Client.

You must clear the cache of Internet browsers running the XProtect Web Client before you can use a new version of the XProtect Web Client. System administrators must ask their XProtect Web Client users to clear their browser cache after upgrading, or force this action remotely (you can do this action only in Internet Explorer in a domain).
