About event notifications
Event notifications inform XProtect Smart Client users that an event has occurred on your Milestone
Husky product system. Event notifications can be valuable for client users, as they can quickly detect
that an event has occurred. Even though you configure event notifications separately for each camera,
you can select between all events on your Milestone Husky product system, regardless whether
events are manual, generic or originate on another hardware device than the camera itself.
In the XProtect Smart Client, event notification is given by a yellow indicator which lights up when a
relevant event has taken place. You can also add an optional sound on event notification in XProtect
Smart Client itself.
Three indicators are available for each camera in the
XProtect Smart Client:

The yellow event indicator. Lights up when a
relevant event has taken place.

A red motion indicator. Lights up when motion
has been detected.

An optional green video indicator. Lights up when
video is received from the camera.
You can turn off the bar in which the indicators are
displayed in the XProtect Smart Client. Do not turn off if
XProtect Smart Client must rely on event notifications.
How to select required events
1. In the Available events list, select the relevant event. You can only select one event at a
time.
Tip: If you have not yet defined any suitable events, you can quickly do it: use the Configure
events list, located below the other fields.
2. Click the >> button to copy the selected event to the Selected Events list.
3. Repeat for each required event.
If you later want to remove an event from the Selected Events list, select the relevant event, and click
the << button.
Output
When you configure video and recording (see "About video and recording configuration" on page 64)
for specific cameras, you can also associate a camera with particular hardware output (see "Add a
hardware output" on page 111), for example the sounding of a siren or the switching on of lights.
Associated output can then be activated automatically when motion is detected in video from the
camera, or manually when Smart Client users with the necessary rights (see "Configure user and
group rights" on page 166) view live video from the camera.
1. In the Available output list, select the required output. It is only possible to select one output
at a time.
