Install a new XProtect system
Install XProtect Essential+
You can install a free version of XProtect Essential+. 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
Essential+.
This version is installed on a single computer, using the Single computer installation option. The Single
computer option installs all server and client components on the current computer.
Milestone recommends that you read the following section carefully before you install:
Before you start installation on page 129.
For FIPS installations, you cannot upgrade XProtect VMS when FIPS is enabled on the
Windows operating system. Before you install, disable the Windows FIPS security policy
on all of the computers that are part of the VMS, including the computer that hosts the
SQL server. But, if you are upgrading from XProtect VMS version 2020 R3 and after, you
do not need to disable FIPS. For detailed information on how to configure your XProtect
VMS to run in FIPS 140-2 compliant mode, see the FIPS 140-2 compliance section in the
hardening guide.
After initial installation, you can continue with the configuration wizard. Depending on your hardware and
configuration, the recording server scans your network for hardware. You can then select which hardware
devices to add to your system. Cameras are preconfigured in views, and you have the option to enable other
devices such as microphones and speakers. You also have the option of adding users to the system with either
an operator role or an administrator role. After installation, XProtect Smart Client opens, and you are ready to
use the system.
Otherwise, if you close the installation wizard, XProtect Management Client opens, where you can make
manual configurations such as add hardware devices and users to the system.
If you upgrade from a previous version of the product, the system does not scan for
hardware or create new views and user profiles.
