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 in Milestone Husky product, 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. In the Management Application's navigation pane, expand Advanced Configuration, expand
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.
3. Specify properties (see "Speaker properties" on page 62) as required.
Configuration of microphones and speakers in Milestone Husky product is very basic. Settings such as
volume, etc. are controlled on the microphone or speaker units themselves.
Show or hide microphones or speakers
If you have added more microphones or speakers 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/speaker again, you can right-click the overall microphone or speaker icon
and select Show Hidden Items.
Microphone (properties)
When you configure video and recording (see "About video and recording configuration" on page 64)
for specific cameras, you can determine when audio should be recorded or not. Your choice applies
for all cameras on your Milestone Husky product system.
