Audio Modes
The Axis product supports the following audio modes:
• Full duplex – Simultaneous two-way audio allowing the Axis product to transmit and receive audio at the same time.
There is no echo cancellation; if feedback loops appear, try moving the microphone or the speaker.
• Half-duplex – Audio can be transmitted to and from the Axis product but only in one direction at a time. To transmit
audio using the Live View page, use the Talk and Listen buttons, see AMC Audio Controls on page 13.
• Simplex – Network Camera speaker only - Audio is transmitted from a client to the Axis product and can be played by
a speaker connected to the product. To transmit audio using the Live View page, the Talk and Microphone on buttons
must both be active, see AMC Audio Controls on page 13.
• Simplex – Network Camera microphone only - Audio captured by the product microphone is transmitted from the
Axis product to one or more clients.
To set the audio mode, go to Video & Audio > Audio Settings and select the desired mode from the Audio mode drop-down list.
Audio Input
An external microphone or a line source can be connected to the Audio-in connector. Configure the audio input settings under Video
& Audio > Audio Settings.

Use the Input gain to control the volume of the audio input. If the sound is too low, choose a higher dB value, to amplify the
sound. If the sound is too high, choose a lower dB value. The Level bar gives a visual representation of the audio signal level in dB
relative to the full-scale input level.
• Green — the signal is at a good level.
• Yellow — the signal is becoming distorted.
• Red — the signal is distorted.
Use the Encoding option to select digital audio encoding format.
