If a wrong input is used, the camera or microphone may be damaged. Be sure to set the correct input. The volume, sound quality, etc., may change depending on the characteristics of the microphone used. To send audio to speaker, use RM-Lite Viewer. Audio cannot be sent from VB-C500 Viewer ( P. 1-9).
