JP DVR Surveillance Microphone Setup

JP Surveillance System DVRAudio surveillance can be setup using our JP Surveillance DVRs and a surveillance microphone.  These DVRs support the capability to both record audio surveillance as well as listen to audio in real time by connecting speakers to the DVR.  These instructions are broken up into two parts.  The first part will direct you to another page that contains instructions on how to setup your surveillance microphone wiring with your CCTV camera.  The second part will walk you through the settings that you need to make on your DVR to enable audio recording and playback.
