defined on your system. You are not limited to selecting events defined on a particular hardware
device.
Component Requirement
Event Select the relevant event.
PTZ Preset Position
Select the relevant preset position. For this purpose, you can only
use an event once per PTZ camera. However, use different events
for making the PTZ camera go to the same preset position.
Example:
o Event 1 makes the PTZ camera go to preset position A
o Event 2 makes the PTZ camera go to preset position B
o Event 3 makes the PTZ camera go to preset position A
If later you want to end the association between a particular event and a particular preset position,
clear the field containing the event. After you have made the PTZ setting changes, restart services
(see "Start and stop services" on page 170).
Cameras that do not support multiple simultaneous video streams cannot connect to the surveillance
server and the Management Application at the same time. Therefore, Milestone recommends that you
stop (see "Start and stop services" on page 170) the Recording Server service when you configure
such devices for motion detection and PTZ. See also View video from cameras in Management
Application (on page 39).
Microphones
About microphones
In your system, Microphones are typically attached to hardware devices, and therefore physically
located next to cameras. Operators, with the necessary rights, can then listen to recordings through
the XProtect Smart Client (provided the computer running the XProtect Smart Client has speakers
attached). You manage microphones on your system, meaning you can always manage the
microphones attached to cameras, not microphones attached to XProtect Smart Client operators'
computers.
If you have added more microphones to your system than you need, you can hide the ones you do not
need by right-clicking the relevant microphone or speaker and select Hide. If you need the hidden
microphone again, you can right-click the overall microphone icon and select Show Hidden Items.
Configure microphones or speakers
1. Expand Advanced Configuration > Hardware Devices, and expand the hardware device to
which the relevant microphone or speaker is attached.
2. Right-click the relevant microphone or speaker, and select Properties.
