Access Clients
Access Client Overview
Remote users can access an XProtect Basis+ surveillance system in different ways:
• With a Remote Client – see page 142 (run straight from server, good selection of standard
features)
Example of Remote Client
• With a Smart Client – see page 140 (installed locally, very feature-rich, based on the .NET
platform and thus highly flexible for future integration of plugins, etc.)
Example of Smart Client
The way remote access is handled at the surveillance system server end is different, depending on
remote access method:
Providing Access through a Remote Client or Smart
Client
Surveillance system administrators use two administration tools for providing access through the
Remote Client and Smart Client: The Image Server and the Download Manager:
• Image Server: Recordings viewed by Remote Client and Smart Client users are provided
by the XProtect Basis+ surveillance system’s Image Server. The Image Server runs as a
service on the XProtect Basis+ server; it does not require separate hardware. The
surveillance system administrator uses the Image Server Administrator window (see page
109) to manage Remote Client and Smart Client access to the surveillance system.
