Speaker devices are added automatically when you add hardware to the system. They are by default disabled, so you must enable them before use, either as part of the Add Hardware wizard or afterwards. Speakers that are part of a camera do not require separate licenses but independent speakers are considered separate devices and therefore require a separate license. You can use as many speakers as required on your system.

You can use speakers completely independently of cameras.

The system comes with a default start audio feed rule that starts the device so the device is ready to send user activated audio to the speakers. The default rule can be deactivated and/or modified as required.

You can configure speaker devices on these tabs:

  • Info tab

  • Settings tab

  • Record tab
