Speakers are attached to devices, and typically physically located next to cameras. They can typically transmit information to people near a camera. Operators with the necessary rights can talk through speakers using XProtect Smart Client provided the computer running XProtect Smart Client has a microphone attached.
Example: An elevator is stuck. Through a camera mounted in the elevator, XProtect Smart Client operators can see that there is an elderly lady in the elevator. A microphone attached to the camera records that the lady says: “I am afraid. Please help me out!” Through a speaker attached to the camera, operators can tell the lady that: “Help is on its way. You should be out in less than fifteen minutes.”
If you have added more speakers to your system than you need, you can hide the ones you do not need by right-clicking the relevant peaker and select Hide. If you need the hidden speaker again, you can right-click the overall speaker icon and select Show Hidden Items.
