Get Support Information
At the bottom of the Edit Users screen you will see “Get Support Information.” This button launches a function to gather information for troubleshooting and emails the information to Milestone Support. If you are having a technical issue with your Milestone Husky M10 device and need to send information to Milestone technical support, use this button. You will need
to have an email address in your administrator prole for this to function properly. If no email
address is entered, one will get an URL from where the Support File (zip) can be downloaded (see screenshot below).
If you do not receive an email make sure that the following email milestonehusky@gmail.com
is not caught in your email spam lter.
Figure 10: Get support Information.
Email Notications
It is possible to receive automatic email notications from Milestone Husky M10 when system changes occur – such as adding or deleting a camera. In order to receive email notications,
make sure that your email is entered in your account information. To learn how to change user account settings, see the section of this guide pertaining to User Accounts. If you would
like to stop email notications, simply remove your email from your account information.

Port Mapping
When port mapping is enabled the Husky M10 will try to enable external access to the system
over internet by conguring the router. The external URL to the system can be seen on the login
page. Make sure that the default passwords for users have been changed prior to enabling this to avoid un-authorized access to the system. Make sure to use strong passwords.
Discover Cameras
Once you have logged in, the cameras that the Milestone Husky M10 has automatically discovered will appear on the main screen. For information on how to connect cameras to the unit, please see the Milestone Husky M10 Quick Start Guide. If properly connected, your main screen should look similar to this:
Figure 11: Main screen.

Milestone Husky M10 Administrator’s Manual
If your camera is properly connected but does not show up on the screen, it is possible to manually make the connection (Note: Only Administrative Users have access to this function). This option can be found by selecting “Cameras” from the dropdown menu under the Settings tab in the upper right corner of the screen.
Figure 12: How to locate “Camera Settings”.
Once you arrive at the settings screen you will see a magnifying glass icon that says “Is your camera not listed?” When you click on this link, a box will appear asking you to type in the
IP address of the camera, as well as the camera username and password. Once you have completed these steps the camera will be connected and will appear on the home screen.
