Live monitoring: features providing
a complete overview
Situational awareness
XProtect Smart Wall is an advanced video
wall product for XProtect Corporate that pro-
vides superior situational awareness for large
surveillance installations.
XProtect Smart Wall offers a uniquely efficient
working environment because you can share
views with multiple users. It supports any
number or combination of monitors regard-
less of manufacturer and runs on standard
servers and displays.
Interactive visual overview
The Alarm Manager consolidates alarms from all con-
nected security devices, systems and sites. The interac-
tive map feature provides a comprehensive overview of
cameras and layouts of an entire installation.
A prioritized alarm list gives an overview of active alarms
and their severity. If an alarm is triggered, the alarm loca-
tion map displays corresponding alarm and camera loca-
tions, providing instant situational awareness.
Flag live video for later investigation
Bookmarking is a powerful feature that lets you flag
video and add descriptive notes, so video sequences
are found quickly.
Bookmarks are created manually in live or playback
mode or automatically based on events. Bookmarks
are a helpful tool for installations with around-the-
clock monitoring by multiple operators with different
work shifts so they can easily share information.
Federating access
Milestone Federated Architecture™ is a solution that
interconnects multiple, independent sites using
XProtect Corporate.
Milestone Federated Architecture turns a large-scale
surveillance system into manageable parts. You
can have local-site administration or manage
all of the sites as one large system.
With a flexible user rights structure, users and
administrators can be granted access to any combi-
nation of sites - from a single system to all systems in the
federated hierarchy. For example, in an airport installation, different
agencies such as airlines, homeland security and public authorities can all
receive access to the surveillance system.
