External audio digitized by the IP cam?

For the many external cams without audio, if I were to attach an external mic, does that audio get included over the cat-5, POE, cabling to the NVR or SS?

Thanks,

  • Hi Robert,

    Yes. All IP cameras with audio input ports will digitise and send this audio to the NVR along with the video stream.
  • I always wondered why most NVRs have only a single audio-input.... I guess that is never used since the camera tales the MIC input.
