AXIS 216FD/FD-V - Audio 22

Audio Channels

Audio mode

Half-duplexmode transmits and receives audio in both directions, but only in one direction at a time. This means that you must select when to receive or transmit audio with the push-to-talk button. To speak, press and hold the button (check that the microphone is not muted). When finished speaking, release the button and you will receive audio from the other end of the connection.

Note that the push-to-talk button is configured from AMC, see AXIS Media Control, on page 17. It is also possible to configure the push-to-talk button so that it toggles between speaking and listening modes.

When selecting Simplex - Network Camera speaker only mode, the speaker connected to the camera will play audio, but no audio will be transmitted from the camera to other web clients. This could be used to e.g. provide spoken instructions to a person seen in the camera. This mode requires you to use the push-to-talk button.

Simplex - Network Camera microphone only mode transmits audio only from the AXIS 216FD/FD-V to web clients. It will not receive audio from any other web clients. This can be used in remote monitoring, web attractions etc., to provide live audio, as well as video, of a monitored situation.

When using half-duplex, the Send the sound from the active client to all other clients option transmits the audio signal from the client that is talking to all the other clients.

Audio Input

Audio from an external microphone or a line source can be connected to the Audio in connector of the AXIS 216FD/FD-V. The audio source must be set to Microphone or Line depending on the connected device.

Note: To prevent unauthorized listening, the internal microphone can be disabled by inserting a plug in the Audio in connector.

The Enable microphone power option provides DC power for an external microphone. If using a small electret condenser microphone such as a clip-on mic or a PC microphone, this option needs to be enabled.

Note: To use a high impedance dynamic microphone, DC power should not be enabled. DC power will not harm the microphone, but if you are uncertain, try switching it off and on. The default value is DC power enabled. To use a professional microphone requiring 48V phantom power, you need an external power supply and must use a balanced-unbalanced converter (audio transformer) in between.

If there are problems with the sound input being too low or high, adjust the input gain for the microphone attached to the AXIS 216FD/FD-V.

Select the desired audio Encoding format, AAC, G711, G726.
