Logging In to the Smart Client
Logging in to the Smart Client is very straightforward. So is the initial configuration of the Smart
Client upon your first login—in fact, configuration may in some cases not be required at all.
To log in to the Smart Client, do the following:
1. Double-click the Smart Client shortcut on your desktop:
If no Smart Client desktop shortcut is available, select the Smart Client from Windows’
Start menu (exactly how you do this is determined by where and how you have installed
the Smart Client on your computer, but you would typically select Start > All Programs >
Milestone XProtect Smart Client > Smart Client).
2. A splash screen is displayed while the Smart Client loads.
Loading the Smart Client typically takes a few seconds only.
3. The Smart Client login window appears:

4. Specify your login information in the following fields:
 Connect to: Type the URL or IP address specified by your surveillance system
administrator. Internet connections may use different ports for different purposes;
therefore, the URL or IP address may include a port number, in most cases port 80
(example: 123.123.123.123:80, where :80 indicates the port number). If you have
logged in before, you may simply select the required server from the Connect to list.
 Username: Type your user name as specified by your system administrator. The user
name is case-sensitive, i.e. there is a difference between typing, for example, amanda
and Amanda.
