A common pain point we see in our customers' use of Milestone XProtect is their use of layouts and views in the Smart Client. In any camera-based security system the method of viewing live and recorded video is the main way users interact with the system. Here, the Milestone Smart Client is the user hub of the VMS. It is vital that access to cameras is quick and layouts are arranged logically, and that is partly controlled by the system administrator, with some further setup options and flexibility available to end users.
While basic setup of camera views is straightforward, building a usable, and use-case appropriate selection of layouts and views, is not. These two videos explain clearly how to create layouts in the Milestone Smart Client and part 2 offers an important insight into how administrators can ensure that users can create their own views quickly and easily.
