Audio selection

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

When you configure video and recording, you can specify certain properties for many cameras in one go. Either in order to speed up things, or because the relevant properties are shared by all cameras rather than being specific to individual cameras. With a default microphone or speaker selected for a camera, audio from the microphone or speaker is automatically in use when you view video from the camera. Note that all of the properties can also be specified individually for each camera.

Template	The template can help you configure similar properties quickly. Say you have 20 cameras and you want to change the recording path, archiving path, and retention time for all of them. Instead of having to enter the same three pieces of information 20 times, you can simply enter them once in the template, and then apply the template to the 20 cameras with only two clicks.
Apply Template	Select which cameras you want to apply the template for. Use one of the two Set buttons to actually apply the template.
Camera Name	The name as it appears in the Management Application as well as in clients. You can overwrite the existing name with a new one. Names must be unique, and must not contain any of these special characters: < > & ' " \ / : * ? \| [ ]
Default Microphone	Select a default microphone.
Camera	Click the Open button to configure detailed and/or camera-specific settings (such as event notification, PTZ preset positions, and fisheye view areas) for the selected camera.
Select All	Click button to select all cameras in the Apply Template column.
