Home security

user_49e681 Great question, yes, if you have a compatible Xfinity Camera and the latest version of the Xfinity app installed on your smartphone, you can talk through the camera to anyone within its range, even when you are away from home. This feature is called two-way audio.

 

Here's how it works:

1. Enable Camera Sound: In the Xfinity app, you need to turn on the "Camera Sound" setting for the desired camera. This will also require you to grant the Xfinity app access to your phone's microphone.  
    
2. Access Live Video: Open the Xfinity app, go to the "Security" tab, and select the thumbnail of your camera to view the live video feed. 
    
3. Use the "Talk" Button: On the live video screen, you will find a "Talk" button. Tap and hold this button to speak through the camera's speaker. Release the button to hear any response from the other end.

To enable two-way audio on Xfinity Cameras using the Xfinity app, follow these steps:

1. Download and log into the Xfinity app.
2. Select the Security tab and choose your camera.
3. Tap the gear icon in the upper-right corner.
4. Select Camera Sound and toggle the On/Off switch to turn on sound.
5. Return to the camera screen and select Talk.
6. Allow microphone access when prompted.

Repeat these steps for each compatible camera. Note that two-way audio is only available on the latest Xfinity Camera (xCam2) and the latest app version.  Turn on camera sound and use two-way audio for Xfinity Cameras in the Xfinity app
