Milestone XProtect Smart Client 3.6; User’s Manual
Tip: By default, the Smart Client uses a simple sound file for its sound notifications. The sound
file, called Notification.wav, is located in the Smart Client installation folder, typically C:\Program
Files\Milestone\Milestone Smart Client. If you want to use another .wav file as your notification
sound, simply name the required file Notification.wav and place it in the Smart Client installation
folder instead of the original file. The file Notification.wav is used for event as well as motion
detection notifications; it is not possible to use different sound files for different cameras or to
distinguish between event and motion detection notifications.
Sound on Event
When images from the camera are viewed on the Live tab, it is possible to get a simple sound alert
when events related to the selected camera occur.
Note: This feature is only available if using your Smart Client with certain Milestone surveillance
systems; see Surveillance System Differences on page 100. Even when using your Smart Client
with a surveillance system supporting this feature, being able to use this feature requires that
notifications on events have been configured on the surveillance system server. Consult your
surveillance system administrator if in doubt.
• 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.
What is an event? An event is a predefined incident occurring on the surveillance system.
Depending on the surveillance system’s configuration, events may be caused by input from
external sensors connected to cameras, by detected motion, by data received from other
applications, or manually through user input. Events are used by the surveillance system for
triggering actions. Typically, most events on the surveillance system are generated automatically.
For example, detected motion can be defined as an event which in turn triggers an action, such as
recording on a camera.
Will I receive lots of sound notifications? If you select Always on, the amount of event-
related sound notifications you are likely to receive will depend on the nature and number of
events related to the camera in question. Events are configured on the surveillance system server;
consult your surveillance system administrator if in doubt. If you select sound notifications for
more than one camera, you may also hear more notifications—again depending on the surveillance
system’s event configuration.
