Audio Channels

Audio mode

- The Half duplex mode transmits and receives audio in both directions, but

only in one direction at a time. To speak, press and hold the button (check that the

microphone is not muted). To receive audio, release the button.

Note: The push-to-talk button is configured from AMC (see

AXIS Media Control (AMC), on

page 15). It is possible to configure the push-to-talk button so

that it toggles between the

speaking and listening modes.

When selecting the Simp

lex - Network Camera speaker only mode, the speaker connected

to the camera plays audio, but no audio is transmitted from the camera to other web

clients. This could be used to provide spoken instructions to a person seen in the camera.

This mode requires you to use the push-to-talk button.

The Simp

lex - Network Camera microphone only mode transmits audio only from the

network camera to web clients. It does not receive audio from other web clients. This can

be used in remote monitoring, and web attractions, to provide live audio and video, of a

monitored situation.
