About Matrix-recipients
A computer on which Matrix-triggered video can be viewed is known as a Matrix-recipient. In order to
become a Matrix-recipient, the computer must have the XProtect Smart Client installed.
There are two ways in which Matrix-triggered video can appear on a Matrix-recipient:

Manual triggering: Another user wants to share important video, and sends it from an
XProtect Smart Client
—or from a custom-made web page—to the required Matrix-recipient.

Automatic triggering: Video is sent to the relevant Matrix-recipient automatically when a
predefined event occurs, for example when a door sensor detects that a door is opened, or
when the surveillance system detects motion in the video from a camera.

For more information about Matrix-recipients, refer to the XProtect Smart Client User's Manual,
available on the Milestone Husky product software DVD as well as from
www.milestonesys.com , or the XProtect Smart Client's own built-in help system.
