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 10.
Simplex — 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 buttons must both be active, see AMC
Audio Controls on page 10.
Simplex — 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 product's Audio-in connector. Configure the audio input settings
under Video & Audio > Audio Settings.
Note
The internal microphone is used by default; the external microphone is used when connected. It is possible to disable the
internal microphone by connecting a plug to the mic input.
Source - Select Microphone for an external microphone or Line for a Line in device, e.g. an audio mixer for multiple microphones or
a microphone with a built-in amplifier.
Microphone power - The Enable microphone power option provides DC power for an external microphone. Microphone power should
only be used with microphones that have no battery and when using the internal microphone. This setting should not be enabled
when using a dynamic or battery powered microphone. Microphone power will not harm the microphone; if you are uncertain, try
switching it off and on. To use a professional microphone requiring 48V phantom power, you need an external power supply and a
balanced-unbalanced converter (audio transformer) in between.
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.
