AXIS P5544 PTZ Dome Network Camera
Video and Audio
Note
A m ulti-connector cable (available from Axis; Multi-Connector Cable (sold separately)) is required when connecting external
audio equipment to the Axis product.
Source - Select Microphone for an external microphone or Line for a Line in device, e.g. an audio mixer for multiple microphones or
a microphone with a built-in amplifier.
Microphone power - The Enable microphone power option provides DC power for an external microphone. Microphone power
should only be used with microphones that have no battery. This setting should not be enabled when using a dynamic or battery
powered microphone. Microphone power will not harm the microphone; if you are uncertain, try switching it off and on. To use a
professional microphone requiring 48V phantom power, you need an external power supply a nd a balanced-unbalanced converter
(audio transformer) in between.
Input gain - Control the volume (dB Full Scale) of the audio input. If the sound is to o low, choose a higher dB, to amplify the
sound. If the sound is too high, choose a lower dB. The Level bar gives a visual representa tion of the audio signal level in dB
relative to the full-scale input level.
• Green — the signal is at a good level.
• Yellow — the signal is becoming distorted.
• Red — the signal is distorted.
Encoding - Select digital audio encoding format.
• AAC requires a license for both encoding and decoding. AAC is the least complicated and most widely used codec.
If achieving the best possible audio quality is a priority, AAC is the recomm ended codec to use. An AAC license
is included in the Axis product.
• G711
• G726
Sample rate - The number of times per second the sound is sampled . A higher sample rate will provide better audio quality, but
also requi res a greater bandwidth.
Bit rate - Set the required bit rate depending on the s
elected encoding. A higher bit rate will give better audio quality. A lower bit
rate may have latency or delay, but will require less bandwidth.

.
Audio Output
An external speaker can be connected to the product’s Audio-out connector (a built-in amplifier is required for this). The output can
be connected to another am
plifier with speakers. A stereo connector must be used for the audio out.
Configure the audio ou
tput settings under Video & Audio > Audio Settings.

Output gain - Control the volume (dB Full Scale) of the line audio output. If the sound is too low, choose a higher dB. If the
sound is too high, choose a lowe r dB.
