If you want to configure hardware output and automatically trigger output when events occur, so
that, for example, lights are switched on when a door is opened or when motion is detected in video,
see Add a hardware output (on page 111) and Configure hardware output on event (on page 113).
About events and output
Events and output of various types can be used for automatically triggering actions in Milestone Husky
product. Examples of actions: starting or stopping recording on cameras, switching to a particular
video frame rate, triggering notifications, making PTZ cameras move to specific preset positions, etc.
Events can also be used for activating hardware output. You can also configure events and output to
generate alarms.
Events can be divided in to:

Internal events (system-related): for example, motion, server responding/not responding,
archiving problems, lack of disk space, etc.

External events (integrated): for example, MIP plug-in events.
