can listen to the audio when viewing video in the Home window.
External microphone—You can connect an optional external microphone (available from
•
third-parties) to the IP camera. This audio is sent to the PC that you use to view video from the IP
camera. You can listen to the audio when viewing video in the Home window. Connecting an
external microphone disables the internal microphone.
