    Why is my Axis 207 audio quality so poor?
    • A
      Autumn ColeAug 17, 2025
      Poor audio quality in your Axis Security Camera can be due to several factors. Too many users or clients connected to the camera may negatively impact the sound quality; try limiting the number of clients. Additionally, reducing the number of listeners and viewers, and decreasing the image resolution and compression can improve audio quality.
