What is required for clients to access their systems through the XProtect Mobile and Web Clients?

The correct response to the question highlights the importance of the XProtect Mobile Server in enabling client access to their systems through the XProtect Mobile and Web Clients. The XProtect Mobile Server acts as a vital intermediary, facilitating communication between the mobile or web client applications and the Milestone XProtect system.

Clients require this server to manage the connections and ensure smooth access to video surveillance footage and system features from remote locations. This server not only provides the necessary infrastructure for secure data transmission but also plays a critical role in handling authentication, ensuring that only authorized users can access the system.

In contrast, direct system login credentials, while essential for authentication, do not alone enable access through mobile and web clients without the involvement of the XProtect Mobile Server. Although a web access license can be crucial for allowing features within the client applications, the core infrastructure needed for functioning they cannot bypass the necessity of the Mobile Server itself. Local network configuration is typically related more to how systems are set up and connected rather than being a direct requirement for client access via the mobile or web clients specifically.

Thus, the XProtect Mobile Server is indeed necessary and central to the process, ensuring clients can effectively and securely access their systems remotely.
