When a potential threat is detected, Emergency Alert enables XProtect Mobile client users to receive alarm notifications of the highest severity level, view the alarm details, and immediately act. Emergency Alert is a type of alarm you define in XProtect Management Client.

Note

For this functionality to work, it requires push notifications. Push notifications are available only if you have purchased a Milestone Care Plus license.

Note

This feature is only available in certain XProtect VMS systems. For more information, see: Milestone XProtect® Product Comparison Tool.

To add such an alarm, you must:

  1. Add a new alarm category with level 99 in Alarms > Alarm Data Settings. You can create as many categories with level 99 as you need.

  2. Add an alarm definition with this category.
