Audio (properties)

Available functionality depends on the system you are using. See the Product comparison chart for more information.

When you configure video and recording for specific cameras, properties include the possibility of selecting a default microphone and/or speaker for the camera. With a default microphone and/or speaker selected for a camera, audio from the microphone and/or speaker is automatically used when you view video from the camera.

If a microphone or a speaker is attached to the same hardware device as the camera, the particular microphone/speaker is the camera's default microphone/speaker if you do not select otherwise.

Default Microphone	Select a default microphone.
Default Speaker	Select a default speaker.

You can only select a default microphone or speaker for the camera if at least one microphone and/or speaker has been attached to a hardware device on the surveillance system.
