If a microphone is a part of an IP server, you must specify the camera to which it is matched in the parameters of this microphone. When you do this, the Microphone object becomes a child of the specified Camera object.

This setting is used during synchronized video and audio monitoring of a situation as well as during synchronized video and video recording to the archive (see Audio Monitoring).

In all other cases, the Microphone object is automatically displayed in the object tree as a child object of a camera.

To configure the Microphone object, do the following:

1. Go to the Devices tab.
2. Select the Microphone object in the object tree. If necessary, you can change the values of the parameters that are listed in the table:
   

   Parameter	Value	Description

   Volume	High level	Select the volume level of the audio device
   	Low level
   Camera
   Camera	1.Camera	From the drop-down list, select the camera with which you want to bind the microphone. As a result, the microphone becomes a child of the selected camera

3. Click the Apply button.

To check the operation of the microphone, do the following:

1. Go to the layout with the required camera and activated microphone
2. In the upper left corner of the preview window, left-click the speaker icon .
3. Send an audio signal to the microphone.

Checking the microphone operation is complete.
