Microphone (properties)

When you configure video and recording for specific cameras, you can determine when to record audio. Your choice applies for all cameras on your system.

Microphone properties

Enabled

Microphones are by default enabled, meaning that they can transfer audio to your system. If needed, you can disable an individual microphone, in which case no audio is transferred from the microphone to your system.

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:  < >  &  '  "  \  /  :  *  ?  |  [  ]

On some hardware devices, you can also enable/disable audio on the hardware device itself, typically through the hardware device's own configuration web page. If audio on a hardware device does not work after enabling it in the Management Application, you should verify if the problem exists because audio is disabled on the hardware device itself.

Recording settings

Always

Always record audio on all applicable cameras.

Follow video

Recording audio only when video is recorded from a camera that has a microphone attached.

Never

Never record audio on any cameras. Note that even though the system never records audio, you can still listen to live audio in XProtect Smart Client.
