Install XProtect VMS
The XProtect VMS installer installs all server and client components on your Milestone Husky unit. The recording
server is authorized, so you are ready to use the system after installation.
You can install a free version of XProtect Es. This version provides you with limited capabilities of the
XProtect VMS for a limited number of cameras. You must have internet connection to install XProtect Es.
The recording server scans your network for hardware. Discovered devices are added automatically to your
system. Cameras are preconfigured in views, and a default operator role is created. After installation, XProtect
Smart Client opens and you are ready to use the system.
