Audio Settings
This section describes how to configure the basic
audio settings for the network camera. The audio
functionality is enabled under
Video & Audio >
Video Stream > Audio.
Audio Channels
Audio mode
:
Full duplex
- Simultaneous two-way audio. Transmit and receive audio (talk and listen) at the same time.
Note:
There is no echo cancellation; if there is echo, try moving the microphone or the speaker.
Half-duplex
- Non-simultaneous two-way audio. Half-duplex mode sends and receives audio in both directions, but only in
one direction at a time, by pushing the
Talk
button. To speak, press and hold the button (check that the microphone is not
muted). To receive audio, release the button.
Note:
The push-to-talk button is configured from AMC (see
AXIS Media Control (AMC),
on page 13). It is possible to configure
the push-to-talk button so that it toggles between the speaking and listening modes.
When selecting the
Simplex - Network Camera speaker only
mode, the speaker connected to the camera plays audio, but no
audio is transmitted from the camera to other web clients. This could be used to provide spoken instructions to a person seen
in the camera. This mode requires you to use the push-to-talk button.
The
Simplex - Network Camera microphone only
mode transmits audio only from the network camera to web clients. It does
not receive audio from other web clients. This can be used in remote monitoring, and web attractions, to provide live audio
and video, of a monitored situation.
When using Half-duplex, the
Send the sound from the active client to all other clients
option transmits the audio signal
from the client that is talking to other clients.
