    Why is there no audio from my Canon Security Camera?
    • T
      Tina FrancoAug 30, 2025
      If there is no audio, check the audio server settings of the camera and also check the sound and audio device settings for the PC. If you are using the Admin Viewer with the administrator authorities, check if the camera is connected to the RM-Lite Viewer or another viewer that lets the administrator use audio. Audio cannot be received if you are using a proxy server, when connected via SSL encrypted communications or during IPv6 connection. Also, audio cannot be used if add-ons are not installed.
