If a microphone is physically connected to the system independent of a video camera, then you must specify the video camera to which it will be linked in the settings of the given microphone. When you do this, the Microphone object will become 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 the section Audio Monitoring)

 This setting is relevant only for microphones connected to IP servers. The microphone and the video camera to which it is to be linked must be connected to the same IP server

If the microphone is embedded in a video camera or physically connected to it, then its corresponding object will be automatically displayed in the objects tree as a child of that particular video camera.

To configure the Microphone object, perform the following:

  1. Select the Microphone object in the objects tree. 


  2. Enable the microphone by selecting Yes in the Enable field (1).



  3. Enter the name of the microphone in the Name field (2).

  4. Configure additional microphone parameters (audio codec, bit rate, etc.) in the Other group using their descriptions in the interface of the Axxon Next software package or, for more detail, in the official reference documentation of the parent video camera.



  5. Click the Apply button.

The microphone will then be switched to its assigned work mode.

To check the microphone's operation, you must perform the following steps:

  1. Select the Sound on/off check box in the Summary group.

  2. Provide an audio signal to the microphone.

  3. If the microphone is configured correctly, the audio signal will be transmitted to the server's speakers. The strength of the incoming audio signal will be displayed on the indicator to the right of the Sound on/off check box.

Checking microphone operation is now complete.
