Audio features such as camera microphone sensitivity and mute during pan/
tilt can be set up on the Audio page (see page 66).
If you are running other applications or opening multiple windows, the audio
may be interrupted or delayed.
When the image is refreshed during any operation such as preset registration
or a web browser refresh, the volume is reset to the default (midrange)
position. Audio that was muted is enabled.
The audio may be interrupted due to your PC's performance or network
environment. Reduce the max. bandwidth (see page 38 and page 42).
If the camera is accessed while the PC user visits other websites, the active
microphone may pick up audio from the PC's speakers. Be careful with it.
If you cannot listen to the audio or talk from your PC, see 2.5 Audio Problems
in the Troubleshooting section of the Installation/Troubleshooting.
Excessive length or poor quality microphone cable can cause a degradation in
audio quality.
To talk to the camera from your PC, an external amplified speaker such as the
Panasonic RP-SPT70 or equivalent (customer-provided) must be connected
to the camera. The speaker connects to the camera with a stereo audio cable
similar to that used by your PC. Though the connector is stereo, the audio is
not.
The external microphone input terminal does not correspond to an line level.
Audio may be distorted when the line level is input. Audio distortion will be
solved if you insert the following circuits. Under no circumstance should high
level audio, such as from a speaker, be connected to this input terminal. Doing
so is likely to damage the camera.
