Audio Settings

AXIS 212 PTZ/-V can transmit audio to clients using either the built-in microphone or a connected external microphone and

can play audio received from clients via a connected speaker.

Note:

The speaker connected to the audio output must have a built-in amplifier, for example, PC speakers.

An example of a network using AXIS 212 PTZ/-V cameras to transmit audio and video across the network.

This section describes how to configure the basic audio settings for AXIS 212 PTZ/-V, for example, set the communication

mode and adjust the sound levels in the microphone and speaker connected to the camera.

Enable Audio - Check this box to enable audio in AXIS 212 PTZ/-V.

Audio Channels - The Half-duplex mode transmits and receives audio in both directions, but only in one direction at a time.

This means that you must select when to receive or transmit audio with the push-to-talk button. To speak, press and hold the

button (check that the microphone is not muted). When done speaking, release the button and you will receive audio from the

other end of the connection.

Note that the push-to-talk button is configured from AMC, see AXIS Media Control, on page 9. It is also possible to configure

the push-to-talk button so that it toggles between speaking and listening modes.

When selecting the Simplex - Network Camera speaker only mode, the speaker connected to the camera will play audio, but

no audio will be transmitted from the camera to other web clients. This could be used to for example, provide spoken

instructions to a person seen in the camera. This mode requires you to use the push-to-talk button.

Simplex - Network Camera microphone only mode transmits audio only from AXIS 212 PTZ/-V to web clients. It will not

receive audio from any other web clients. This can be used in remote monitoring, web attractions etc., to provide live audio, as

well as 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 all the other clients.

Audio Input - Audio from an external microphone or a line source can be connected to the Audio in connector of AXIS 212

PTZ/-V. The audio source must be set to Microphone or Line depending on the connected device.

The Enable microphone power option provides DC power for an external microphone. If using a small electret condenser

microphone such as a clip-on mic or a PC microphone, this option needs to be enabled.
