Milestone Husky M30/M50 Administrator's Manual First time use Get your system up and running This checklist outlines the tasks typically involved when you set up a working Milestone Husky product system. Note that although the information is presented as a checklist, a completed checklist does not in itself guarantee that the system matches the exact needs of your organization.
Milestone Husky M30/M50 Administrator's Manual Configure scheduling Set up when do you want to archive and if you want cameras to transfer video to your system at all times, and other cameras to transfer video only within specific periods of time as well as when specific events occur. Also specify when you want to receive notifications from the system. See Configure general scheduling and archiving (on page 131) and Configure camera-specific schedules (on page 66).
Milestone Husky M30/M50 Administrator's Manual About saving changes to the configuration As you set up your system, you must save any changes you make to the configuration in order for these to be applied to the system. When you change the configuration in the Management Application, for example in the Camera Summary or Users Properties, a yellow notification bar informs you that you have made changes to the configuration. The bar appears in order to make sure that your changes are applied to the system.
