AXIS P3365-V Fixed Dome Network Camera

Video and Audio

Audio Input

An external microphone or a line source can be connected to the Audio-in connector. Configure the audio input settings under Video & Audio > Audio Settings.

Note

The internal microphone is used by default; the external microphone is used when connected. It is possible to disable the internal microphone by connecting a plug to the mic input.

Note

When used in an outdoor enclosure, the internal microphone on this Axis product cannot be used.

Select Microphone to use an external microphone or Line to use a Line in device, e.g. an audio mixer for multiple microphones or a microphone with a built-in amplifier, as audio source.

Select the +30 dB microphone boost option to amplify the signal of the external microphone connected to the Axis product. This option is not available when the Line source is selected

To use a professional microphone requiring 48 V phantom power, you need an external power supply and a balanced-unbalanced converter (audio transformer) in between.

The Microphone power option provides DC power for an external microphone. Microphone power should only be used with microphones that have no battery and when using the internal microphone. This setting should not be enabled when using a dynamic or battery powered microphone. Microphone power will not harm the microphone; if you are uncertain, try switching it off and on. To use a professional microphone requiring 48 V phantom power, you need an external power supply and a balanced-unbalanced converter (audio transformer) in between.

Use the Input gain to control the volume (dB Full Scale) of the audio input. If the sound is too low, choose a higher dB, to amplify the sound. If the sound is too high, choose a lower dB. The Level bar gives a visual representation of the audio signal level in dB relative to the full-scale input level.

Green — the signal is at a good level.

Yellow — the signal is becoming distorted.

Red — the signal is distorted.

Use the Encoding option to select digital audio encoding format.

AAC requires a license for both encoding and decoding. AAC is the least complicated and most widely used codec. If achieving the best possible audio quality is a priority, AAC is the recommended codec to use. An AAC license is included in the Axis product.

G711 is an unlicensed standard codec that is useful when integrating audio into a VoIP system

G726 is an unlicensed speech codec that is most commonly used within the security industry.

Note

If recording audio to edge storage, such as an SD card or network share, use AAC encoding.

The Sample rate defines the number of times per second the sound is sampled. A higher sample rate will provide better audio quality, but also requires a greater bandwidth.

Set the required Bit rate depending on the selected encoding. A higher bit rate will give better audio quality. A lower bit rate may have latency or delay, but will require less bandwidth.
