Description |
|
Management Application |
The main application used by surveillance system administrators for configuring the XProtect Professional surveillance system server, upon installation or whenever configuration adjustments are required, for example when you add new cameras or users to the system. |
|
Recording Server service |
A vital part of the surveillance system. The Recording Server service runs to ensure that devices transfer video streams to your system. The Recording Server service installs automatically and runs in the background on the surveillance system server. You manage the service through the Management Application. |
|
Event Server service |
Handles configuration of alarms and maps from all servers within XProtect Professional installations, including Master/slave setups (see "Configure master and slave servers" on page 173), throughout your organization. This enables monitoring and instant overview of alarms and possible technical problems within your systems. The event server is automatically installed on, and runs in the background of, the XProtect Professional surveillance system server. |
|
Microsoft® SQL Server Express Database |
The surveillance system's alarm data is stored in a SQL Server Express database. The SQL database is a lightweight, yet powerful, version of a full SQL server which is automatically installed on, and runs in the background of, your XProtect Professional surveillance system server. |
|
Image Server service |
Handles access to the surveillance system for users logging in with clients. The Image Server service is automatically installed and runs in the background on the surveillance system server. You can manage the service through the Management Application. |
|
XProtect® Download Manager |
Manage which XProtect Professional-related features your organization's users can access from a targeted welcome page on the surveillance system server. |
