Tip: If you have not yet defined any suitable output, you can quickly do it: Use the Configure
Output button, located below the other fields.
Tip: Even though output is configured separately for each camera, you can select between all
output on your Milestone Husky product system, regardless whether output originates on
another hardware device than the camera itself.
2. Click the >> button to copy the selected output to the:
o On manual activation list, in which case the output is available for manual activation in
the Smart Client.
- and/or -
o On motion detected list, in which case the output is activated when motion is detected in
video from the camera.
If required, the same output can appear on both lists.
3. Repeat for each required output.
If you later want to remove an output from the one of the lists, select the output in question, and click
the << button.
Motion detection & exclude regions
When you configure video and recording (see "About video and recording configuration" on page 64)
for specific cameras, adjusting motion detection is important because it may determine when video
from the camera is recorded, when e-mail notifications are generated, when hardware output (such as
lights or sirens) is activated, etc. Time spent on finding the best possible motion detection settings for
each camera may help you later avoid unnecessary recordings, notifications, etc. Depending on the
physical location of the camera, it may be a very good idea to test motion detection under different
physical conditions (day/night, windy/calm weather, etc.).
Before you configure motion detection for a camera, you should configure the camera's video
properties (see "General" on page 85), such as compression, resolution, etc.
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 195).
