Advanced configuration

3. Specify properties (see "Speaker properties" on page 62) as required.

Configuration of microphones and speakers in your system is very basic. You control volume settings
and similar settings on the microphone or speaker units themselves.

Show or hide microphones or speakers

If you have added more microphones or speakers to your system than you need, you can hide the
ones you do not need by right-clicking the relevant microphone or speaker and select Hide. If you
need the hidden microphone/speaker again, you can right-click the overall microphone or speaker icon
and select Show Hidden Items.

Microphone (properties)

When you configure video and recording (see "About video and recording configuration" on page 64)
for specific cameras, you can determine when to record audio. Your choice applies for all cameras on
your system.

Microphone properties

Enabled

Microphones are by default enabled, meaning that they can transfer
audio to your system. If needed, you can disable an individual
microphone, in which case no audio is transferred from the
microphone to your system.

Name

The name as it appears in the Management Application as well as
in clients. You can overwrite the existing name with a new one.
Names must be unique, and must not contain any of these special
characters: < > & ' " \ / : * ? | [ ]

On some hardware devices, you can also enable/disable audio on the hardware device itself, typically
through the hardware device's own configuration web page. If audio on a hardware device does not
work after enabling it in the Management Application, you should verify whether the problem may be
due to audio being disabled on the hardware device itself.
