The scanning process may temporarily lock each file it scans, which canfurther impact system performance negatively.If allowed in your organization, you should therefore disable any virus scanning of affected areas (such as cameradatabases, etc.) on the XProtect Express server as well as on any archiving destinations.Time server recommendedAll images are time-stamped by XProtect Express upon reception, but since cameras are separate units whichmay have separate timing devices, power supplies, etc., camera time and XProtect Express system time may notcorrespond fully, and this may occasionally lead to confusion.If your cameras supports timestamps, we recommend that you auto-synchronize camera and system time througha time server for consistent synchronization.For information about how to configure a time server, try searching www.microsoft.com for time server, timeservice, or similar.www.milestonesys.com 30 Before you start
