AUDIO SETUPThe DX8000 audio feature allows you to configure individual camera channels to listen to and record live audio. You can monitor live audio at a
local server or listen to live audio from a remote DX8000 server or client system. You can play back audio recorded by a camera channel.
To use the DX8000’s audio features, the optional DX8000-AUD audio card must be installed. You can determine if the audio card is installed by
checking the Audio option status in the Channel Information section of the Camera page. The Audio status is one of the following:
• Not installed
• Installed (enabled)
The DX8000 compresses audio data to save space. In this case, recorded audio may not be of the same quality as liv e audio. Consult your Pelco
sales representative for more information regarding the DX8000-AUD option.
