Milestone XProtect ® Express 1.1Administrator's ManualNameKeep closed alarms forKeep all other alarms forKeep logs forLog server communicationDescriptionSpecify the number of days for which to keep closed alarms, i.e. alarms inthe states Closed, Ignore, and Reject. This is normally set to a low number,such as 3 days, but you can define any number up to 99999 days, serverspace permitting. The value 0 can be used to indicate keep closed alarmsindefinitely, server space permitting.Specify the number of days for which to keep all other alarms, i.e. alarmsnot in the states Closed, Ignore, and Reject. This is normally set to asomewhat higher number, such as 30 days, but you can define any numberup to 99999 days, server space permitting. The value 0 can be used toindicate keep all other alarms indefinitely, server space permitting.IMPORTANT: Alarms often have associated video recordings.While the alarm information itself is stored on the event server, theassociated video recordings are fetched from the relevantsurveillance system server when users wish to view them.Therefore, if it is vital to have access to video recordings from allyour alarms, make sure that video recordings from relevantcameras are stored on relevant surveillance system servers for atleast as long as you intend to keep alarms on the event server.Specify the number of days for which to keep the Alarms log. Default is 30days. The value of 0 will indicate keep log indefinitely (server spacepermitting).Specify if you want to save a separate log of server communication inaddition to the regular log for the number of days specified.www.milestonesys.com 46 Application settings
Milestone XProtect ® Express 1.1Administrator's ManualWizardsThe Add Hardware Devices wizardYou add cameras and other hardware devices, such as video encoders, to your XProtect Express system throughthe Add Hardware Devices... wizard. If microphones are attached to a hardware device, they are automaticallyadded as well.You can use up to 48 cameras per XProtect Express server. Note that, if required, it is possible to add morecameras than you are allowed to use. If you use video encoder devices on your system, bear in mind that manyvideo encoder devices have more than one camera connected to them. For example, a fully used four-port videoencoder will count as four cameras.The wizard offers you four different ways of adding cameras:NameExpress (recommended)AdvancedManualImport from CSV fileDescriptionScans your network for relevant hardware devices, and helps you quicklyadd them to your system.To use the Express method, your XProtect Express server and yourcameras must be on the same layer 2 network, that is a network where allservers, cameras, etc. can communicate without the need for a router.See Add Hardware Devices wizard - Express (see "Express" on page 47).Scans your network for relevant hardware devices based on yourspecifications regarding required IP ranges, discovery methods, drivers,and device user names and passwords.See Add Hardware Devices wizard - Advanced (see "Advanced" on page49).Specify details about each hardware device separately.A good choice if you only want to add a few hardware devices, and youknow their IP addresses, required user names and passwords, etc.See Add Hardware Devices wizard - Manual (see "Manual" on page 51).Import data about cameras as comma-separated values from a file. Aneffective method if you are setting up several systems.See Add Hardware Devices Wizard - Import from CSV File (see "Importfrom CSV file" on page 53).ExpressThe Express option scans your network for relevant hardware devices, and helps you quickly add them to yoursystem. With the Express option, the wizard only scans for hardware devices supporting device discovery, andonly on the part of your network (subnet) where the XProtect Express server itself is located.To use the Express method, your XProtect Express server and your cameras must be on the same layer 2network; that is a network where all servers, cameras, etc. can communicate without the need for a router. Thereason for this is that device discovery relies on direct communication between the XProtect Express server andthe cameras. If you know that routers are used on your network, use the advanced (on page 49) or manual (onpage 51) method instead.www.milestonesys.com 47 Wizards
