Configuration on Enterprise, Professional, Express, NVR
This section contains a detailed guide on how to configure the Milestone Paxton Integration component installed
on either of the XProtect server products Enterprise, Professional, Express or NVR. Go through the “Initial
configuration steps
” before proceeding with this part of the configuration.
This guide is divided into the following tasks:
1) Using Net2 events to control cameras.
Enable automatic Camera control, like start/stop recoding or PTZ’ing on Paxton events.
2) Access Control Profiling.
To profile the access of different operators to information and control operations.
Use the Management Application to perform these tasks.
Using Net2 events to control cameras
It is possible to configure some special actions to take place in the XProtect server in response to Net2 events.
You may for example want to move a PTZ camera to point at a specific door when e.g. a Net2 door opened event
is generated.
To enable this, you have to go through the following steps:
a) Create Manual events to be triggered by Net2 events
b) Configure cameras to react on the manual events
c) Create a mapping of one or more Net2 events to trigger the Manual event.
E.g. to move a camera to a specific preset PTZ position, you first have to define a “Manual Event”. Next, open the
“Properties” page of the camera and configure it to move to a specific preset position when this manual event is
triggered. Then, finally, create a mapping of the Net2 door opened event to trigger this Manual event.
Using motion detection may be enough to ensure that the surveillance system records anything of interest.
However, you may want make sure that recording is started when a specific Net2 event is generated. If the
scenario is specifically to start recording, it i
s a bit more complicated. For this, please read the section “Start/Stop
recording on Net2 events”.
