Connecting Audio Devices18
The system supports Lorex HD audio cameras, which transmit audio through the same coax ca-
ble used for video connection. The system can also record one audio channel using the AUDIO
IN port on the rear panel. You must have a self-powered microphone or an audio camera with an
RCA–type audio connection to use this port.
NOTE
Use of an external microphone allows you to record audio on Channel 1 of the system. It cannot be moved to a
different channel.
The second RCA-type connector on the back panel is the AUDIO OUT port, which can be used
to connect a self-powered speaker that will play audio from the system (requires audio-capable
camera or self-power microphone).

1. From the Live View display, right-click to open the Quick Menu, then click Main Menu.
2. Click CAMERA. Click the RECORDING tab on the side panel, then Recording on the top
