Customizing Client Audio Alerts

The ExacqVision Desktop Client software has the ability to alert users with audio when using Event Monitoring. See the Client Help file, press F1, to learn how to set up Event Monitoring, or watch the Event Monitoring training video.

Using audio alerts is a good way to bring attention to system operators when events of importance occur. This is useful for things such as when someone enters a doorway or if motion is detected in protected areas, among others. The Client comes with built in sound files but you are not limited to these.

To add sound files you must use .WAV files. When opting to use custom sound files you will need to be sure the sound file exists in the correct directory on each workstation you wish to hear the sound from.

Place these files in the following file directory:

Windows: 
C:\Program Files\exacqVision\Client\sounds\

Ubuntu Linux: 
/usr/local/exacq/client/sounds/

Close and restart your ExacqVision Client window to make the new sound files available in Event Monitoring.

NOTE:  .WAV files must use PCM U8 encoding
