The system supports three basic types of audio components:
-
One-way analogue and IP audio channels: These include mainly camera-based and separate microphones.
-
Two-way IP audio channels: Two-way IP audio channels require an IP camera with an audio input and output channel.
-
Two-way IP audio channels are used for communication between the camera site and a Spotter client.
-
Only one Spotter client can be used for communication at any time, but other clients in the system can listen to the channel and take over the communication if required.
-
All communication that passes through a two-way IP audio channel is recorded in the system.
-
-
A single audio communication channel: An older communication model. Each system contains one communication channel.
-
The drawback in using the audio communication channel is that the signal bypasses the server, meaning that the communication is not recorded in the system.
