Specifications

If your IP camera has a microphone and is able to supply an audio stream, you may select to

capture that along with the video. Blue Iris supports audio from many popular IP cameras, and

more cameras are being added continuously to this list.

If your capture source is a DV camcorder or analog audio/video converter such as the

CamGuard USB TV! Pro you can capture audio directly from that device's microphone or audio

line input jack. You may instead choose to use any other sound source on your PC. When you

choose a DirectShow capture device, the box beneath the DirectShow capture device list

will be filled with possible audio formats appropriate for your device. A higher audio signal

frequency (expressed in kHz) will provide a better sound recording, but will also consume a

greater amount of hard disk space.

For DirectShow capture devices, you may use a graphic equalizer to adjust the sound levels on

your microphone by installing the DSound GE1

equalizer. This may be of particular interest if

you are using the microphone to trigger recording.

You may choose to Webcast audio. This option must be set in order to stream audio using the

remote ActiveX control or to push audio to either a Windows Media or Flash Live Encoding

server. In the case of the ActiveX control, the user must also have Remote audio streaming

enabled on the User account
