Audio Input
An external microphone or a line source can be connected to the product’s Audio-in connector. Configure the audio input s ettings
under Video & Audio > Audio Settings.
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 a n 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 au dio 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.
Encoding - Select digital audio encoding format.
• AAC requires a license for both encoding and decoding. AAC is the least complicated a nd most widely used codec.
If achieving the best possible audio quality is a priority, AAC is the recommended codec t o use. An AAC license
is included in the Axis product.
• G711
• G726
Sample rate - The number of times per second the sound is sampled. A higher sample rate will provide better audio quality, but
also requires a greater bandwidth.
Bit rate - Set the required bit rate depending on the selected encoding. A higher bit rate will give better audio quality. A lower bit
rate may have latency or delay, but will req
uire less bandwidth.

Output gain - Control the volume (dB Full Scale) of the line audio output. If the sound is too low, c hoose a higher dB. If the
sound is
too high, choose a lower dB.
