Do these cameras also have audio support? I recall seeing some IP cameras that have a built in audio mic. If not this one, do any HikVision?

This particular model does not have audio support. There are models with other features, including audio, sd card support, different lenses, variable focus, etc. Check the Hikvision website for details.

Correct, you can't hear them and they can't hear you. When I first bought this camera I assumed since it "worked with Skype" and since the cameras have built in speakers and microphones, that there would be support for 2-way audio, or at least 1-way audio. Unfortunately there is neither.I guess on the plus side if you set Skype to auto-answer like I decided to do, you can't have grandparents and such calling in to the camera and waking up your baby or overhearing a private conversation going on in the room.

The camera does have audio pickup from a microphone on the side. It works well across the room. Don't know about the pixels, but the perceived visual acuity is very good.

I actually received this product as a reward from coca-cola... anyways... if you, like me, have one that does have a mic cable attached to the camera, then there is a built in microphone. You have to manually select it from your control panel, but it's there, it works. As far as where in the device it is... I don't know. I know that I get the best sound when I talk directly towards the lens. Manufacturer Support Page : http://www.shophde.com/a32i.html

Can anyone give an emphasized answer? I am looking at buying another camera as well and my wife and I were both wondering this. Based on Diana's answer, it seems that when it switches from one camera to the other using the scan feature (8 seconds or 8 minutes?), the audio switches. Can anyone confirm this?

Yes it can record audio as well, and you can here it remotely too if you want. Best camera setup I have ever had!

I've had nothing but good luck with this camera. I've had no problem with the built in mic. I thought it worked greast. I haven't noticed any noise. You may have a defective camera. I'd contact Panasonic.

Kenneth, first it depends on the type of CCTV camera you are using. 1. If you are using an Internet Based IP camera with built in Audio that connects to your PC (using CAT-5 cable connection) , then the Software that came supplied with the camera is all you need for both Video and Audio Recording.2. If you are using hard wired fixed or PTZ cameras that connect Directly to a DVR System, then each camera has to be equipt with an Audio Pickup Microphone. Some DVR systems will handle Audio Input and some Will Not, you need to choose the correct System for your needs.

There is no audio to the cameras. You have to use a separate system for this. I have eight cameras set up in a 360 view of my 2 acre plot. You can use an iPhone to access a program associated with the system itself.

They do. However if there is no steady sound to record like voices... it will intermittently pick up background noise... causing random a random static sound that can be annoying. I keep my sound turned off. After video has been recorded... and if the sound was turned off (like mine) it will play what it recorded... if sound wasn't on... there will be no sound on the playback. The over all it works great. However, I want to point out one more thing.... insects / bugs are attracted to IR light, so sometimes at night (seems to be most sensitive to this) bugs will gather and fly around the camera making the motion detector go off and record things that are irrelevant. In my research the only / best way to avoid this is to have a camera and the IR light separate. in the model ... its not an option.

I have a few models of Sony - and most do not have either feature - I have one that has an external mic port next to the hdmi port - but no headphone jack and I think the next higher version of this camera. To get both you would need to jump up a couple of levels.

Yes, camera does have audio and video. Audio quality is best the closeryou are to the audio source. Camera is a good value with all the features it does have.

No built in microphone. Camera has a small pigtail cable for power and video only. You will need to provide your own cable run however long u need it.

No. It has a P2 audio output jack and you will have noise and problems with audio. If your audio is captured other way, so use HDMI conector. But this camera is not full hd.
