Listen to audio

On the main views tab, when you select a camera view item in live or playback mode, you also select its microphone, and you can listen to its audio.

• Select a camera view item in a view to listen to the audio.

You can also listen to recorded audio independently of the selected camera view item.

• On the Audio pane, select a microphone to listen to the audio from the microphone.

Audio and maps

If your views contain maps with microphones, you can listen to audio by selecting the relevant microphone element.

• Select the microphone element and hold the mouse button for as long as you want to listen.

If you can't hear audio from a camera's microphone, check if your computer's speaker is muted. On the Audio pane, clear the Mute check box. If the issue continues, the speaker might be disabled—contact your system administrator. Other XProtect Smart Client users generally can't hear broadcasts through speakers, but they might if microphones are nearby.
