Audio recording and playback is supported
through up to 5 audio inputs included on the
Video Server PC. This requires
microphone(s), plus PC speakers plugged into
the green audio output on the back of the
Video Server PC. Bare microphones
connected to line-level audio inputs will each
require a suitable microphone ‘pre-amp’.

Camera(s) to be associated with audio must be
identified as such (to follow).
Audio Recording: Audio is not recorded as a
separate file. Instead, it is included in any local or
remotely recorded AVI (or MPEG) files for the
specific camera.
Legal Notice: The recording of live audio is subject
to local bylaws. Be sure to find out if audio
recording is restricted in your area before
proceeding.

Setting the Sound Level
For good quality audio recording and playback,
you may need to adjust the audio levels. This
is done using the Windows recording volume
control.
Locator: To access the Windows recording
and playback volume controls, select:
Windows [Start] menu, Settings, Control
Panel, Multimedia (or [Start], Run,
"sndvol32", [OK] ).
Note: If you cannot access the Windows "Start" menu,
press "Ctrl-Esc" (or your "Windows" key).
Use the Windows recording volume control to
adjust the audio levels as desired.
This should be done with a range of loud and soft
sounds in the area (to ensure soft sounds are being
heard, and loud sounds are not distorting).
--------------------------------------------------
When finished, close the recorder/multimedia
screens as necessary.
Tip: You must also indicate which camera(s) are
associated with audio (see "Related Topics").
