XProtect Client Plugin

The XProtect Client Plugin is a separate plugin designed by Navtech, to be utilised with the Milestone product. It is used with the XProtect Client application to automate certain actions for the operator. This includes automatically displaying relevant video feeds in response to an operator selecting a target in AdvanceGuard® or Sea360®. In order for the XProtect plugin to work correctly then each operator must have the same username in both Milestone and AdvanceGuard® or Sea360®.

Info

If using Single Sign-On (SSO) for the XProtect VMS software we recommend that you do the same for AdvanceGuard® or Sea360®. This will ensure that the operator shares the same user name in both applications.

To use the feature, the same operator must be logged into both the Milestone UI and AdvanceGuard®. They can select (latch) tracks in the AdvanceGuard® or Sea360®, and these tracks will then be followed by cameras controlled by Milestone and the relevant video stream will be displayed in the Milestone client UI. Latched tracks will be highlighted in the AdvanceGuard® or Sea360® UI which all users can see, however, the video feeds for latched tracks will only be displayed within the Milestone UI of the user who selected them.

...

  • AdvanceGuard® v4.10.0.747 or higher, or Sea360® v1 or higher.

  • Milestone XProtect / Siveillance Server 2014 or higher

  • Milestone XProtect / Siveillance Client 2016 or higher

...

This is the Setup Procedure for the Milestone XProtect Client Plugin for AdvanceGuard® or Sea360®.

  1. Copy the Tungsten.Integration.Milestone.Client.Plugin folder from the management server install or the UI install in the plugins folder: %ProgramFiles%\Navtech Radar\Witness\Plugins\Tungsten.Integration.Milestone.Client.Plugin onto each pc that you wish to use the Milestone Client, at this location: %ProgramFiles%\Siemens\Siveillance VMS Video Client\MIPPluggins
