Installation Options
The Smart Client can be installed in three ways:

Download and Installation from Server
Note: Surveillance system administrators automatically get a Smart Client installed on the
surveillance system server; this happens as part of the surveillance system server installation.
Typically, you download the Smart Client from the surveillance system server, and then install it on
your computer. Alternatively, your surveillance system administrator may ask you to install the
Smart Client from a DVD (see Installation from DVD on page 141). To download and install the
Smart Client from the surveillance system server, do the following:
1. Verify that your computer meets the Smart Client’s minimum system requirements (see
page 14).
2. Open an Internet Explorer browser (version 6.0 or later), and connect to the surveillance
system server at the URL or IP address specified by your system administrator. When you
are connected to the surveillance system server, you will see a welcome page.
3. On the welcome page,
select your required
language in the menu in
the top right corner. Then
go to the welcome page’s
Smart Client Installers
section, and click the
required Smart Client
language version link.
