QuestionHi I'm not using an app at all with the system. Will I still be able to use audio? Hear or speak through the camera?
Asked 1 year ago by Jim.
- Answer Thank you for the question and happy to help as best we can. If you do not use the mobile application you are able to use the 2-Way audio but you would need to connect the wired microphone to the recorder and be at the recorder to speak/listen to audio. The microphone is model MIC-USB-FTD. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thanks, Night Owl SP Digital Support Team
