ukballer1012 0 Posted August 19, 2012 I noticed that a lot of DVR's have audio outputs. Assuming they had speakers set up with them, do you think it would be possible to talk from them remotely on a computer with a microphone? If not, then what purpose do they serve?

ukballer1012 0 Posted August 22, 2012 Can someone please help? I understand the two audio outputs could be used for speakers for someone at the dvr but I want to know if any DVR has used them for someone viewing on a different network allowing them to talk to the DVR's speakers. We're considering setting up a camera system for my 93 year old dad at his house to be able to monitor him in case of a health emergency and being able to communicate with him would be nice. I understand he can talk to us (setting up a mic in the audio input) but can we talk to him (through the audio output) remotely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted August 22, 2012 Hi. Yes it is possible on some dvrs. But if you are just talking about 1 camera then there is an easier way. Scotch do a good little IP camera that does audio both ways. And with a little add on also gives the elderly a panic button. They were on wrist this option also alerts you via internet or mobile with video. If something like that is of interest to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How can I identify whether or not a DVR has capabilities for this 2-way chat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
