On many devices, you can attach external microphones. Some devices have built-in microphones.
Microphone devices are added automatically when you add hardware to the system. They are by default disabled, so you must enable them before use, either as part of the Add Hardware wizard or afterwards. Microphones do not require separate licenses. You can use as many microphones as required on your system.
You can use microphones completely independently of cameras.
Microphone devices deliver audio streams to the system that the client users can listen to live or the system can record for later playback by the client users. You can set up the system to receive microphone specific events that trigger relevant actions.
For information about supported hardware, see the supported hardware page on the Milestone website.
Roles determine the users' right to listen to microphones. You cannot listen to microphones from the Management Client.
The system comes with a default start audio feed rule which ensures that audio feeds from all connected microphones are automatically fed to the system. Like other rules, the default rule can be deactivated and/or modified as required.
Enabling/disabling and renaming of individual devices take place on the recording server hardware. See Enable/disable devices via device groups.
For all other configuration and management of cameras, expand Devices in the Site Navigation pane, then select Microphones. In the Overview pane, you group your microphones for an easy overview. Initial grouping is done as part of the Add hardware wizard.
You can configure microphone devices on these tabs:
