SELECTING THE AUDIO CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
To use audio with the camera you must have an audio device connected to the accessory port located on the back of the camera. Once the device
is connected, audio can only be enabled through the primary stream.
Audio and video may not be synced when viewing and listening to the primary stream through a Web browser. You may experience a
three-second delay in video when viewing the primary stream with audio.
NOTE: Improper use of audio/visual recording equipment may subject you to civil and criminal penalties. Applicable laws regarding the use of
such capabilities vary between jurisdictions and may require, among other things, express written consent from the recorded subjects. You are
solely responsible for insuring strict compliance with such laws and for strict adherence to any/all rights of privacy and personalty.
