Moving Hardware Devices

The Move Hardware feature allows customers to load balance, replace hardware, and replace a defective recording server without interruption of the playback or exporting of video. This eLearning course covers the benefits of moving hardware and how to move hardware between different Recording Servers.

Improving XProtect VMS Performance with Multi-streaming

XProtect VMS supports multi-streaming for IP cameras. This allows you to configure streams of different qualities for different purposes, which helps reduce network traffic and reduces CPU load for decoding. This course covers concepts and tasks to help you benefit from this feature.

After completing this course, integrators, designers, and system administrators will be able to:

• Explain multi-streaming in IP cameras.
• List the benefits of multi-streaming.
• Design a multi-streaming solution.
• Configure multi-streaming in XProtect Management Client.

Configuring and Using Edge Storage in XProtect VMS

Edge Storage refers to the ability of modern IP cameras to record video and audio to embedded or removable onboard media storage devices instead of, or in addition to, streaming media to a centralized recording server. Milestone XProtect VMS supports the retrieval of edge storage recordings and features several ways to maximize system reliability, flexibility, and performance when using edge storage to complement centralized recording.

Configuring and Using Enhanced PTZ

XProtect PTZ enhancements help end customers recognize, react to, and investigate incidents as a coordinated team more effectively than ever. This course describes how to set up, select, and use presets and patrolling profiles for a PTZ camera in the XProtect Smart Client. It also describes how to take and release control of a PTZ camera in a reserved session and adjust the timeout for manual and reserved PTZ sessions.

After completing this course, system integrators will be able to:

• Set up presets and patrolling profiles for a Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera in the Smart Client.
• Select and Use PTZ presets and patrolling profiles.
• Take and release control of a PTZ camera in a reserved session.
• Adjust the timeout for manual and reserved PTZ sessions.

Configuring and Using Maps

XProtect^® Smart Client Maps help you find cameras by location, alert you to locations of problems or alarms, and provide an overall view of a site. This course covers how to configure and use Smart Client Maps.

Configuring and Using XProtect Smart Map

XProtect Smart Map is a new XProtect Smart Client feature that allows operators to view camera and other device locations on different types of geographic information system (GIS) world maps. This course covers the configuration and use of the XProtect Smart Map feature.

Configuring XProtect Mobile with Smart Connect

The Milestone Mobile Server can automatically identify network addresses and configuration of consumer-grade routers. This course covers how to connect to the Mobile Server from any location and demonstrates how to send an email directly from within the administration interface to the end-user.

Configuring and Using Push Notifications

Push notifications provide the occasional user, as well as patrolling officers, notifications about incidents that require their attention. This course covers how to enable push notifications on the Mobile Server.

Configuring and Using Alarms and Notifications

Alarms and notifications can be configured to alert personnel to internal system-related and external integrated events. This eLearning course covers how to configure and use Alarms and Notifications.

After completing this course, partners and integrators will be able to:

• Enable desktop notifications.
• Configure alarm data settings.
• Create an alarm definition.
• Associate a map with an alarm.
• Create a time profile to determine when an alarm is active.
• Specify which roles see which alarms.
• Assign an alarm to another team member.
• Open and close an alarm.

Configuring and Using Video Push

Milestone Video Push Driver turns a mobile device into an XProtect camera that can be viewed, heard, and recorded like any other device in your system. In the course you configure and use Video Push in XProtect VMS.

After completing this course, system integrators will be able to:

• Ensure the role using video push is authorized to log into the mobile server and can read the video push camera and mic.
• Add a video push channel on the Mobile Server.
• Add a video push device on the Recording Server.
• Download, set up, and use XProtect Mobile app from a mobile device.

Configuring Milestone Interconnect™

Milestone Interconnect can connect multiple XProtect installations across the globe. This course covers how to configure Milestone Interconnect in XProtect Corporate.

Hardening XProtect VMS

Hardening is a continuous process of identifying and understanding security risks and taking appropriate steps to counter them. In the Hardening XProtect VMS course, you apply different types of security measures in operating systems, networks, and XProtect VMS itself.

After completing this course, system integrators and designers will be able to:

• Describe common security problems with video surveillance installations.
• Explain how a holistic approach is needed to combat security risks.
• Determine critical considerations for choosing the appropriate security measures.
• Describe the process of implementing improved security.
