Audio controls for AXIS 210A/211A

There are also controls for controlling the client computer’s speaker output and microphone sensitivity. These controls are only available when audio is enabled, see Audio Settings, on page 24. Push-to-talk settings are made in the AMC control panel, see The AXIS Media Control, on page 15.

Click the Speaker and Microphone buttons to switch the sound off and on for the speaker and microphone, respectively.

Use the sliders to control the volume on the speaker and microphone. The volume can be set between 0 and 100. The Buffer slider controls the size of the buffer for audio. A higher level will reduce audio break-up, but may introduce a noticeable lag in audio transmission. There are four settings i.e. min, low, high and max.

When using Half-duplexmode, this button toggles between allowing you to speak and listen. The first icon indicates that you can talk and the speaker attached to the camera will play your voice. The second indicates that you will hear audio from the camera, but no audio will be sent to any web clients.

When in simplex talk mode, the icon toggles between allowing you to speak and is dimmed when you do not want other clients to receive any audio.
