This NVR does not feature a built-in audio amplifier
unit and therefore requires the user to purchase a
speaker system with a built-in amplifier separately.
It's possible to connect an amplified audio source to
the NVR, but microphones that do not have a built-
in amplifier will not function properly if connected
to the NVR directly. If this is the case, connect the
microphone to the NVR via a pre-amp.

audio recordings.
