   1. Install the plugin on a machine with the Management Client by running the file SentryPluginSetup.exe.

1. Under Server/Commands/Queues, select Test Connection and click Send.
2. Motion Debounce: This value states how long a camera must wait before triggering a second motion event.  The default value of 10s works well.
   “***” should be displayed briefly followed by a message indicating that the Sentry
   Server is connected.
   Ensure that the Server License area contains valid License information.
3. Sentry Event Generation (default settings should be fine)
   • Motion Debounce: This value states how long a camera must wait before triggering a second motion event.  The default value of 10s works well.
   • Max Frames per Event: In order to improve accuracy, it is best to take more than one frame per motion event for analysis.  From our experience, the default value of 3 images works well.
   • Set Time Between Frames: When sending multiple frames to Sentry for analysis as specified in previous setting, this setting determines the time gap before sending the next frame. The default setting of 1s works well.
4. Milestone Alarm Display
