radzer0 0 Posted February 20, 2015 Does anybody know of anything to make the existing mic work? I have a high end mic installed already and my new NVR which says audio in is too stupid to even record from that port. Apparently you must pay out the nose for a super crazy high end for that to work. Anybody got any ideas? Maybe some kinda adapter box that makes it think it has a camera hooked up with audio? I have an extra port. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted February 20, 2015 A NVR does not encode the video; the camera does. So if you want to record a video stream with audio, you need a camera with audio input, and you need to connect the mic to the audio input on the camera, not on the NVR.

tomcctv 190 Posted February 20, 2015 Hi. Most mics will work also it depends on your NVR if it has audio in on it then connect it that way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
