Audio Input
Input sensitivity - Select the microphone sensitivity level (High/Low) depending on the sound level in the monitored area. For
example, if the Axis product is installed in a noisy environment, try setting the input sensitivity to Low.
Input gain - Control the volume (dB Full Scale) of the audio input. If the sound is too low, choose a higher dB, to amplify the
sound. If the sound is too high, choose a lower dB. 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.
Encoding - Select digital audio encoding format.
AAC requires a license for both encoding and decoding. AAC is the least complicated and most widely used codec.
•
If achieving the best possible audio quality is a priority, AAC is the recommended codec to use. An AAC license
is included in the Axis product.
• G711
G726
•
Sample rate - The number of times per second the sound is sampled. A higher sample rate will provide better audio quality, but
also requires a greater bandwidth.
Bit rate - Set the required bit rate depending on the selected encoding. A higher bit rate will give better audio quality. A lower bit
rate may have latency or delay, but will require less bandwidth.

Output gain - Control the volume (dB Full Scale) of the line audio output. If the sound is too low, choose a higher dB. If the
