That camera is a China Region cam with hacked firmware....those should be avoided.
That camera is a dome, so if it has audio capabilities, it will require a powered external microphone such as this: Bullet Mic Review | IP Cam Talk
Show us a clear picture of the pigtail so we can confirm.
Stick with Turret cams, that most have builtin mics.

Looking at the camera it looks like you need and external microphone plugged in to the "audio in" cable on the camera, especially since it's a PTZ and the motor noise would be kind of loud in the audio.

Not a good quality camera, a 4MPcameras with a 1/3 sensor, that is also a dome. Also a 2.8MM lens will allow you to identify only 12FT for the camera. The purpose of a surveillance camera is to ID the bad guy.
The dome gets dirty and reflects white and IR light, It also collect dew at night. Resulting in a poor quality picture.
On a 4MP camera go with a 1/1.8 sensor. Determine what you need the identify distance to be, then pick a lens. Or better yet get a variable focus camera.
More than likely on the camera you will not be able to upgrade the software.
To save money do it right the first time.
