Sound in surveillance

Including sound to installation means you will have improved detection, thus creating better awareness of situations, and acquiring valuable forensics information.

Using sound can expand your surveillance system’s capabilities to offering you considerable operational benefits.

Most of Axis cameras come with a built-in microphone, hence getting you started is simply by enabling the audio recording in your cameras, or in the video management software.

It’s important that you be aware that recording sound in public areas is mostly regulated than in video surveillance. And since Laws vary from region to region, be sure to find out more on what is permitted prior to adding audio features to your security surveillance systems.

If the use of audio recording is prohibited in your environment, the in-built microphone in some of the cameras by Axis can be disabled. This you can do by inserting an isolated plug into the camera's auxiliary microphone jack.
