Play sound notifications on motion

If you do not actively view live video all the time, you can configure XProtect Smart Client to play a simple sound notification when motion is detected in the video.

  1. On the workspace toolbar, select Setup.

  2. Select the view and the camera view item you want to enable sound notifications for.

  3. On the Properties pane, in the Sound on motion detection list select:

    • Always off: Disable sound notifications for motion detection.

    • Always on: Play a sound notification for detected motion.

      The amount of sound notifications depends on the motion detection sensitivity configured by your system administrator.

      To apply the same settings for all camera, hotspot, and carousel view items, define the settings for one view item, then select Apply To All in the Properties pane.

  4. Select Setup again to exit setup mode and save your changes.
