Audio

XProtect Smart Client supports both incoming and outgoing audio.

• Incoming audio is the audio coming from microphones attached to cameras. It is always recorded, even when no video is being recorded.

• Outgoing audio is the audio you broadcast through speakers. It is only recorded if your XProtect VMS product supports two-way audio. Recording outgoing audio is essential if you need to prove that an operator gave specific instructions through the speakers.

Depending on your user permissions and your XProtect VMS product, you can:

• Listen to live audio from microphones attached to cameras in live mode.

• Use speakers connected to cameras to talk to audiences in live mode.

• Listen to recorded audio from cameras with microphones, speakers, or both in playback mode.
