If you use the DMSS app to manage your SPRO CCTV security cameras and you’re logged in to your account, enabling audio is quick and easy. This guide will walk you through enabling camera microphone audio for both the Main Stream and Sub Stream in Account Mode, so you can enjoy clear, real-time audio monitoring alongside your video feed.
Whether you’re overseeing home security cameras, business CCTV systems, or outdoor surveillance setups, audio monitoring adds valuable context to your footage—helping you detect and respond to security incidents faster and with greater accuracy.
Why Enable Audio on Your CCTV Cameras?
While high-definition CCTV video is essential, enabling CCTV audio monitoring can give you a critical edge:
Hear voices, alarms, or breaking glass for faster incident detection
Capture verbal interactions that video alone might miss
Enhance evidence collection for investigations
Monitor ambient noise around your property in real-time
For businesses, audio can help with loss prevention and staff safety. For homeowners, it provides additional peace of mind.
Step-by-Step: Enabling Audio in DMSS (Account Mode)
Follow these instructions to turn on audio for your chosen camera channel in DMSS without needing to log in to an account:

In Home click on the 3 dots to the right of the recorder
Select Device Details

Once complete click on Save
Now, when you view your CCTV feed through the DMSS app, you’ll have both video and live audio streaming directly from your SPRO camera.
Main Stream vs. Sub Stream – What’s the Difference?
When adjusting your DMSS audio settings, you’ll notice two stream options:
Main Stream – Higher quality video and audio, ideal for local viewing or when you have a strong internet connection.
Sub Stream – Lower resolution and bandwidth usage, perfect for remote viewing on mobile data or slower networks.
By enabling audio on both streams, you ensure clear sound no matter where or how you connect.
Tips for the Best CCTV Audio Quality:
Use SPRO cameras with built-in microphones or connect an external CCTV microphone.
Position cameras away from noisy electrical equipment to reduce background hum.
Keep microphones protected from wind for clearer outdoor recording.
