Microphone properties
Enabled
Microphones are by default enabled, meaning that they are able to
transfer audio to Milestone Husky product. If needed, you can
disable an individual microphone, in which case no audio is
transferred from the microphone to Milestone Husky product.
Name
The name as it appears in the Management Application as well as
in clients. You can overwrite the existing name with a new one.
Names must be unique, and must not contain any of these special
characters: < > & ' " \ / : * ? | [ ]
On some hardware devices, audio can also be enabled/disabled on the hardware device itself,
typically through the hardware device's own configuration web page. If audio on a hardware device
does not work after enabling it in the Management Application, you should verify whether the problem
may be due to audio being disabled on the hardware device itself.
Recording settings
Name Description

Follow video Record audio only when video is recorded.
Never
Never record audio on any cameras. Note that even though audio is
never recorded, it is still be possible to listen to live audio in the
Smart Client.
Events and output
About input and output
Hardware input, such as door sensors, can be attached to input ports on hardware devices. Input
from such external hardware input units can be used for generating events in Milestone Husky
product.
Hardware output units can be attached to output ports on many hardware devices, allowing you to
activate lights, sirens, and more from Milestone Husky product. Such hardware output can be
activated automatically by events, or manually from clients.
Before you specify use of hardware input and hardware output units on a hardware device, verify the
hardware device recognized the sensor operatione. Most hardware devices are capable of showing
this in their configuration interfaces, or via CGI script commands. Also check the Milestone Husky
product release notes to verify that the hardware device and firmware used supports input and output-
controlled operations.
You do not have to configure hardware input units separately. Any hardware input units connected to
hardware devices are automatically detected when you add the hardware devices to Milestone Husky
product. The same goes for hardware output, but hardware output does require some simple
configuration in Milestone Husky product.
