Name Description
Update on motion
If selected, video from the selected camera will only be updated on
the XProtect Smart Client's Live tab when motion is detected.
Depending on the motion detection sensitivity configured for the
camera on the surveillance system server this can help reduce CPU
usage significantly.
When video is only updated on motion, users will see the message
No motion together with a still image in the camera's position in the
view until motion is detected. The still image will have a gray
overlay, making it easy to identify which cameras have no motion.
Sound on motion detection
When video from the camera is viewed on the Live tab, it is
possible to get a simple sound notification when motion is detected.
Sound notifications only work if video from the camera is actually
displayed in your XProtect Smart Client. Sound notifications will
therefore not work if you minimize the window containing the
camera in question. Likewise, if you maximize a camera in a view
so only that camera is displayed, it will not be possible to hear
sound notifications regarding other cameras.
Always off: Do not use sound notifications on detected motion.
Always on: Play a sound notification each time motion is detected
on the camera.
Sound on event
This feature is only available with certain surveillance systems. For
a detailed outline of the features available on your particular
system, see the XProtect Comparison Chart on:
www.milestonesys.com .
Being able to use this feature requires that notifications on events
have been configured on the surveillance system server.
Sound notifications only work if video from the camera is actually
displayed in your XProtect Smart Client. Sound notifications will
thus not work if you minimize the window containing the camera in
question. Likewise, if you maximize a camera in a view so only that
camera is displayed, it will not be possible to hear sound
notifications regarding other cameras.
When video from the camera is viewed on the Live tab, it is
possible to get a simple sound alert when events related to the
selected camera occur.
Always off: Do not use sound alerts when events related to the
camera occur.
Always on: Play a sound alert each time an event related to the
camera occurs.
