    Check your settings? I use the C3003-E and C1310-E regularly without issues on 4.20.0.32840

    Though, ive been using older firmwares i'll admit.

    If you've got A Red dot one one, but not the others, then you haven't enabled recording for that device (recording is not required unless you need to save the audio!)

    Any more news on this thread? Also having issue with C1310-E seems to not work after 3-5 days and server requires a reboot to get it functioning again. It does not go offline as such just PTT and audio clip can’t be used until the reboot.

    Speaker is running 10.0.6.1 firmware looking for some help on this.

    Thank you

    Hi Daniel Francis,

    Since there were no updates from Miguel Dina, I assume the issue was resolved with the suggestion of Brad D.

    Your case seems different. Can you do the following?

    1. Assure the device is working
    2. Change the server log level from INFO to VERBOSE.
    3. Once the issue appears again, collect the VERBOSE logs and share these for further investigations.

    Hello there,

    Miguel Dina here. Thanks for the follow-up on this subject.

    The issue has not been solved. The specific firmware was applied but it did not work as expected. Need a little more time to conclude the testing. Will get back to you in a couple of days.

    Regards

    Dear friends,

    We have been VERY VERY busy. Much more than what i like to.

    We were not succesfull trying to change the server LOG level to VERBOSE.
    We got lost in the way in one ot the steps to follow in the guide.

    Found an article were somebody said about an specific firmware to use. We did but still nothing.

    Speakers are listed on NX5 devices along with the cameras but no audio can be heared.

    Regards,

    Miguel Dina

    Will try to recreate the issue now.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Miguel Dina,

    When you recreated the issue, you can collect the logs from the following directory:

    /opt/networkoptix/mediaserver/var/log

    Just copy all files, before they were rotated, and share them through a download link with WeTransfer, MS OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, uDrop, etc.

    Hi Miguel Dina,

    Can you tell me the IP address and the camera ID of the affected device(s)?

    When I check the logs for the IP address and camera ID in the screenshot of the start topic, I can't find anything in the logs, while when I search with the partial MAC address, I only see expected correct behavior in the logs.

    Of course!

    Please find the camera setup window for each device.

    All these are AXIS Speakers.

    The one that shows disconected (C2005) its online. Plz find speaker homepage attached.

    Thanks in advance,

    Miguel Dina

    Hi Miguel Dina,

    Can you try the following v5.0. private patch? LINK
    I expect that the fix we implemented for Axis devices in this build, should also resolve the issues you encounter.

    Hello, my name is Brando Martinez, I am the technical assistant of Hyper Industrial Technology, I will be relieving Mr. Miguel Dina in this case.

    We just updated and the speakers are still with the same error. We even removed them from the server and added them back with this new patch and they continue the same.

    If you need to connect to the computer to investigate further, do not hesitate to let us know

    Hi Brando Martinez,

    The devices appear offline in your image, but also, appear to have no licence tied to it. Typically, this isn't an issue, but if not displayed in the layout, eventually they show offline in the device tree. Adding them to the layout grid, will get them online and should be able to be used.

    If the isn't the case, please pay attention to the following:

    After removing these devices, did you default these devices?

    If not, please try if defaulting the devices resolves the issue, so we are sure no profiles, created with previous versions, affect the issue.

    If defaulting didn't resolve it, please collect new VERBOSE server logs for further investigations.

    1. Enable VERBOSE server logging
    2. Note the start timestamp
    3. Open the desktop client
    4. Add the device to the layout grid
    5. If sure they won't come online, close the desktop client
    6. Note the end timestamp
    7. Collect the VERBOSE server logs
    8. Share these logs and timestamps

    Hi Guys, 

    Any progress on this topic? 
    We have a project with one Axis C1310-E, we see the speaker go offline and online in NX. 
    We confirmed that the speaker is online in the network, we can connect to it and control. So it is not the network. 

    When we connect to the speaker and do a test (in local browser) the speaker comes online, and stays online aslong as NX client is showing the speaker in a view. 

    Do we need a licence to add the speaker? don't think so? 

    Alternative: Does anybody know if the C1310 can be controlled (play audio) with a HTTP request? 

    Would be wonderfull if we can get this to work :-)

    I can't update.

    Server is a Linux mini server: https://www.pg-securitysystems.nl/producten/camera-systemen/network-optix-nx/pg-nx-servers-nvrs/pgs-nx2-pg-server-incl-2x-nx-camera-licentie

    Is this because Linux version is old?

    Hi Stefan Dekkers,

    This is due to the OS distribution could not be official compatible.(either too old or different distributions)
    You may just download the file and then manually install them.

    https://nxvms.com/download/linux

     

    Thanks.

    Dear Stefan Dekkers and Rene Krische,

    I would like to inform you that our team encountered some challenges while investigating the issue you reported. Initially, everything appeared to be in order on the VMS side, and no unusual activity was observed on the device side. However, upon reviewing the settings in the device, we discovered that the input had to be enabled to resolve the issue.
     
    To enable the input, please follow these steps: navigate to the Device settings menu (1), and select Enable input (2). Once this is done, the connection will remain alive. I have attached an image below to assist you with the process.
     
    Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and please let us know if you require any further assistance.

    Hi Rene Krische,

    I hope this message finds you well. While I do not have the device in question with me to verify its functionality, I can offer some guidance based on my memory. To create the desired Event, such as a Soft Trigger in the example below, you can select the applicable device and choose the Action; Do Play Sound.

    Please refer to the image below for further clarification:

    It is important to note that the device is limited to playing clips no longer than 15 seconds. If you need to play longer clips, you will need to upload them to the device and trigger them using a Do HTTP request and the Axis API.

    I hope this information helps, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions.

    Does this answer your question as well Stefan Dekkers?

    Carrying out the steps mentioned above we have not yet had any luck with the Axis C2005 speaker.|

    The steps we have followed are the following:
    
    -We have updated the Server to the following version, 5.0.0.36528
    
    -We have updated the firmware of the speaker to the latest version
    
    -We have enabled input 0
    
    After all this we have not had results-
