Configuration of the Milestone integration

Agent Configurator is a simple Windows desktop application with a graphic user interface. Its purpose is to configure the integration between SmartFace and Milestone XProtect.

The configuration includes these steps:

  1. Configure SmartFace connection.

  2. Configure Milestone XProtect connection.

  3. Configure camera mapping between SmartFace and Milestone XProtect.

To configure the integration

  1. Open AGENT CONFIGURATOR.

  2. Set Server URL to the SmartFace API endpoint. Server URL should contain a hostname and a port for this endpoint. The default SmartFace Web API port is 8099. If the Agent Configurator is installed on the same server as SmartFace, you can set the hostname as a localhost.

  3. Specify Server URL for Milestone XProtect and the correct credentials. Make sure that the user used in the configuration belongs to the group which has read rights for camera configuration in Milestone Recording server and also rights to send Analytics Events. If the Agent is installed on the same server as XProtect, Server URL can be set as localhost.
