PTZ presets are accessed via the bottom menu in the camera pane. PTZ cameras may be controlled via on screen buttons, the mouse, or joystick. Any changes made to cameras in the layout revert the next time the view is opened unless saved in setup. Milestone XProtect requires users to enter setup mode to add and remove cameras. In this set of videos we review live view operations in XProtect Smart Client 2014, including adding and removing cameras to layouts, saving views, instant replay, PTZ controls, and more. In this video we give a short overview of the XProtect Smart Client and Management Application, how each operates, and which functions are included in each. Live and Search operations are substantially the same. Expert and Corporate also have a number of more advanced features (such as rules, redundancy, edge storage, multicasting, etc.) that are not covered in this report. Expert and Corporate use a slightly different Management Application which allows global changes to be made more quickly, whether on a single server (changing resolution, framerate, etc., on all cameras on that server) or multiple servers (setting schedules or changing user rights to multiple servers at once). The videos below were recorded using XProtect Enterprise, and reflect a common Milestone user experience. Only Expert and Corporate allow for true enterprise management across systems, with others requiring changes to be made on each server individually. Enterprise, Expert, and Corporate all allow for unlimited cameras and servers. Professional allows for more than one server with a limit of 64 total cameras.

Of the seven, six are versions of their XProtect, a Windows based traditional VMS, and one is Arcus, their newer 'embedded' VMS. Milestone XProtecthas seven versions, far more than most VMS providers, adding more options but also complexity in picking amongst them.
