achieving the best possible audio quality is a priority, AAC is the recommended codec to use. An AAC license is includ ed
in the Axis product.
Sample rate - 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.
