NOTES:
- The maximum number of doors which can be added to XProtect is controlled by the door count defined in your XProtect Access license.
- The Doors.NET system might contain more Doors that are not visible in DOORS VIEW because customer did not purchase enough XPADL licenses to see all Doors at same time.
- You can modify which Doors are visible by running Milestone XProtect Management Application and edit Access Control Integration or enable specific Doors to be visible in DOORS VIEW.
