How does one initiate a live video stream in the XProtect Smart Client?

Initiating a live video stream in the XProtect Smart Client involves selecting the desired camera and then clicking on the "Live" view option. This option is specifically designed to bring up the live feed from the selected camera, making it the most straightforward and user-friendly method for accessing real-time video surveillance footage.

The "Live" view option is part of the software's interface that directly corresponds to live streaming capabilities, ensuring that the user can effortlessly switch from a static view or a different camera mode to an active live feed. This feature is crucial for monitoring environments where immediate visual feedback is necessary, such as security operations or surveillance.

Other methods listed, such as entering the camera's IP address or activating the camera's hardware settings, do not directly launch the live stream within the XProtect Smart Client interface. While selecting the camera and clicking on the "Stream" option might seem plausible, it is the "Live" view that is specifically intended for initiating live video, making it the correct choice for this functionality.
