# Milestone Ingest Engine

The Milestone ingest engine ingests live video from Milestone XProtect Enterprise or Milestone XProtect Corporate.

To configure an ingest task that uses the Milestone ingest engine, you can set the following parameters:

Configuration Parameter | Description
--- | ---
AuthenticationHost | The host name or IP address of the XProtect authentication server.
AuthenticationPort | The TCP port of the XProtect authentication server.
RecorderHost | The host name or IP address of the XProtect recording server.
RecorderPort | The TCP port of the XProtect recording server.
SOAPAuthentication | Specifies whether to authenticate against the XProtect authentication server instead of passing credentials to the XProtect recording server.
StartTimeout | The maximum amount of time to wait to receive the first frame from the XProtect recording server.
StreamTimeout | The maximum amount of time to wait for the next record from a stream.
Type | The type of ingest engine to use. Set this parameter to `MilestoneIngest`.

You can also use the HTTP Client Parameters.

The Milestone ingest engine produces the following tracks, where `taskName` is the name of the ingest task:

- `taskName.Image_1` - an image track which contains the video frames. This track can be referred to using the alias `Default_Image`.
- `taskName.Proxy` - the proxy track.
