Use the Manage Audio Messages dialog to edit the camera's voice messages.

The camera can record, play and manage voice messages. To record voice messages, you can either use your telephone or the camera's integrated microphone.

Note

In order to record a voice message using the camera's internal microphone, you must have activated the microphone in the Speaker and Microphone dialog. The factory default setting for the microphone is deactivated.

Alternatively, you can transfer one or more messages recorded by another camera as an audio file via your computer to this camera.

To record a voice message, start recording the message using the camera microphone as soon as all LEDs are lighting up. The camera automatically stops the recording after the specified time.

Note

Note that LED signaling will only work if the LED main switch in the LED Setup dialog has been set to Default Configuration or Custom Configuration.
