Speaker properties
When you configure video and recording (see "About video and recording configuration" on page 65)
for specific cameras, you can determine when to record audio. Your choice applies for all cameras on
your system.
Name Description
Enabled
Speakers are by default enabled, meaning they can transfer audio
to your system. If required, you can disable an individual speaker, in
which case no audio is transferred from the speaker to the system.
Speaker name

Video channel # enabled
Enable/disable each of the selected hardware device's video
channels. Many hardware devices only have a single video
channel, in which case only one channel will be listed. Other
hardware devices
—typically video encoder devices—have several
video channels.
If some of the channels are unavailable, this is because you are not licensed to use all of a video
encoder device's channels.
Example: You have a video encoder device with four channels, but your license for the device only
allows you to use two of them. In that case, you can only have two channels enabled at a time, while
the two other channels are disabled. Note that you are free to select which two channels you want to
enable. Contact your Milestone vendor if you need to change your number of licenses.
Network, device type, and license
When you configure hardware devices (on page 60), specify the following properties:
Name Description
IP Address IP address or host name of the hardware device.
